Proper training is key to ensuring your employees are achieving consistent results, providing a cleaner and safer facility, and increasing tenant and all other occupant & guest satisfaction.

In the cleaning and facility management industry, ISSA’s Cleaning Management Institute (CMI) certification is one of the most recognized credentials. CMI certification is achieved through successful completion of the Basic training course.

Industry professionals developed CMI training to educate maintenance personnel, of any industry or skill level, on the best and most-up-to-date cleaning and maintenance practices.

What are the benefits of CMI training?

Reducing employee turnover is essential tokeeping your costs low and providing your tenants with a consistent quality of clean.

The average cleaning organization can face turnover as high as 200% according toBSCAI(Building Service Contractors Association International). Most of the time, employees are not leaving for better pay or benefits but because they do not feel like they are a valued part of your organization.
