Training

For David Hallinan, the recognition has never been about himself, but about elevating the school custodian profession.

The best time to prepare for an OSHA walkthrough isn’t the day an inspector arrives. It's every day before.

Facility leaders can effectively manage multigeneration teams by adjusting their communication style, development approach, and leadership methods while maintaining clear expectations and accountability.

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

Flooring can vary throughout a facility and its care needs change based on use, age, and previous maintenance provided.

Cleaning consistency is not accidental. It is engineered through systems that reduce variability and support repeatable performance.

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.

Women are becoming an increasingly visible and influential presence in the facility management industry, and their impact on the future of facilities is accelerating.

Addressing training and process gaps is not about working harder. It is about working smarter, with systems that support both people and performance.

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.

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.
