At a time when the cost of living is demanding that we cut costs and get rid of anything perceived as a luxury, like cleaning, choosing a Living Wage agency may feel counterintuitive.?
The Real Living Wage is a voluntary pay standard that ensures workers earn enough to afford the essentials of life, such as housing, food, and transportation.?It is different, i.e. more than the current government Living Wage and should not be confused.
Here are my top 3 reasons why you need to buck the current trend and go with a company that puts the welfare of its people first:
- Let’s Clean Up The Industry Together:?Sadly, the cleaning industry has long faced challenges in terms of low wages. Many companies prioritise minimising costs, often resulting in workers being paid the bare minimum. This practice not only undermines the dignity of the cleaning professionals but also impacts the overall quality of service provided. By opting for a cleaning company that values fair wages, you contribute to breaking this cycle and fostering a more sustainable and just industry.
- Empowering Workers: ?(Happy worker = Great Clean!) Fair compensation leads to happier and more motivated cleaning professionals. When team members are paid the Real Living Wage, they can focus on their work with a sense of pride and satisfaction. This commitment to fair wages fosters a positive work environment, which translates into a higher quality service for their clients. Our experience shows that cleaners go above and beyond to ensure your space is spotless, creating an atmosphere of cleanliness and comfort.
- The Ripple Effect: Enhanced Customer Experience: When you choose a cleaning company that pays the Real Living Wage, you are not just supporting fair employment practices; you are also investing in an improved customer experience. Fairly compensated cleaners are more likely to be dedicated, reliable, and attentive to detail, resulting in a higher standard of cleaning for your home or business. By choosing us, you are choosing excellence in service while making a positive impact on the lives of our valued cleaning professionals.
By choosing a cleaning company that pays the Real Living Wage, you are supporting an ethical approach to employment and promoting a more inclusive economy.?And let’s face it, all roads lead to a better service for you.?Let’s make the world a better place, one clean at a time!
As you consider which cleaning company to trust with not only your domestic or commercial cleaning needs, but literally the keys to your kingdom, remember the significance of fair wages. By choosing a company that pays the Real Living Wage, you are promoting a more equitable society, supporting ethical employment practices, and receiving the highest standard of cleaning services in return.
