Download industry expert’s ‘Supervisors Handbook’ for free!
Being a good cleaner does not automatically prepare you to supervise a cleaning team. Promotion brings new responsibilities: allocating work, supporting colleagues, checking standards and dealing with difficult conversations. Newly promoted supervisors need practical support as they find their feet.
Cleaning and facilities management expert Tommy Taylor has written a cleaning supervisor's handbook to help those who find themselves in this position, to navigate those first days and months with greater confidence.
The handbook covers team leadership, communication, work planning, safe working, quality checks and everyday problem-solving. Practical checklists and examples help readers apply the guidance to their own workplace.
"The legal guidance has a UK focus, while the supervisory principles will be useful to readers working elsewhere," explains Tommy.
“If you supervise a cleaning team, are preparing for promotion or support someone taking on their first supervisory role, I hope you find it useful.”
The handbook is available as a free PDF download from:
