The Great Resignation is here. In the post-Covid age employee retention is a major topic. But in the jan/san industry, high employee turnover is nothing new. In jan/san, employee turnover averages two hundred percent.

Though high rates are common in the industry, keeping employee turnover low should be a priority. Employee retention is key to your organization’s competitiveness, productivity, and culture.

In this week’s episode of The Scrub, Caden and Sam tackle the age-old problem of low employee retention. Answering questions like why turnover for janitors is so high, and what you, as the employer can do to mitigate the cost to your business.
