renewed emphasis on cleaning


In December 2021, the Cleaning Coalition of America (CCA) released results from an important survey. It revealed both vaccinated and unvaccinated workers put cleaning at top of return-to-work priorities. If you're a business owner, manager of team, facility, office or property manager, there's a number of interesting points to absorb from the survey. In order to succeed in the year ahead, you must know what your peers or workers think about cleaning and health. Keeping everyone healthy affects your bottom line.

What are the most important highlights of the report?   What should managers and business owners know about worker sentiment?
