Employee Retention

ISSA’s VEO initiative helps front-line workers succeed, giving them visión, empeño (effort), and oportunidad (opportunity).

When employers highlight both purpose and opportunity, they position their organizations as places where young talent can build not just a job, but a future. 

Cleaning organizations looking to solve entry-level hiring problems require a deliberate, people-centered operation that treats entry-level staffing as a system rather than a transaction.

VEO exists to ensure our community is no longer overlooked in the very industry it powers. It creates intentional pathways from the front line to leadership, from entrepreneurship to scale, from experience to influence.

We are creating leadership pathways for more Hispanics to become supervisors, managers, business owners, and executives. We’re ensuring they are no longer overlooked but instead identified as the next generation of leaders.

By investing in training that is interactive, visual, and grounded in real-world impact, cleaning businesses and facility managers can help reduce cleaning team turnover.

By investing in the people on the front lines, facility managers can create an environment where cleaning staff feel valued, equipped, and most of all, proud to be part of the team.

Digital marketplaces streamline every step of the recruitment process, from shift scheduling to work tracking, while also offering transparency through cleaner profiles, ratings, and reviews.

When training is engaging, it can drive long-term behavioral change, empowering teams to follow cleaning and hygiene protocols and protect the facility’s reputation.

Amidst the commercial cleaning boom, contractors continue to struggle with the age-old issue of hiring and retaining employees.

Musculoskeletal disorders and chronic pain are some of the common ailments experienced by workers.

A career ladder has a solid foundation when it is associated with a respected nonprofit or trade organization that provides training as well as certification and licensing opportunities.
