Cleaning up around the world
Article Abstract:
Danish multinational cleaning conglomerate ISS places strong emphasis on investing in technology and recruiting the best cleaning staff, according to chief executive Waldemar Schmidt. This inevitably means that higher costs must be passed on to clients, and this has made the company appear uncompetitive. However, it believes that its approach will prove the correct one in the long term. It is now looking to reduce staff turnover in order to reduce its costs.
