Office Cleaning classified as precarious work
Precarious work can be
defined as low income and low quality employment, and the European
Agency for Safety and Health at Work also adds job insecurity, work
intensification, high emotional demands and poor work life balance.
Many office cleaners will recognise many of the above, with low income, poor job security and work life balance being the main factors for high turnover and job related stress.
With many companies placing pressures on cleaning companies to keep cutting back its difficult to see how this is going to change.
Clients want the cleaning done to this standard but are only willing to pay that much, refusing to see the hidden costs of training, better pay, better working conditions which all help to reach the client's required standards.
The sooner everyone is realistic about the cleaning industry the sooner cleaners can be treated as working professionals who are entitled to decent pay for delivering decent levels of work, and to be helped and supported by their managers and Supervisors, the sooner cleaning companies can deliver the required cleaning services the client expects.
