As we head into the end of the week, I always think of the many cleaners that are either finishing the week or have cleans to be performed. And like Rosie in the video, the question I ask is - are the cleaners getting treated as they should be? Yes, the impression in the video is of a gig worker, and the first impression that comes to mind is an Uber driver, or maybe a DoorDash delivery person, but what if I told you that the Fair Work Commission changes, due August 26, 2024, class cleaners as gig workers in Australia. Why? Because most cleaners are underpaid, mistreated, and incorrectly classed as contractors (over 80% percent of the cleaning industry operates like this - Sham Contracting) when they actually employees. So I ask you, if your cleaners, like Rosie are trying to earn a living, but getting to some payment that equates to $7 per hour, do you think this is fair? There is a solution - for everyone to accept that all workers deserve to be paid correctly, even if this means that the cleaning costs will go up. And just like Rosie, when she sees an opportunity to get a well paid job, where she is treated well, we get cleaners approach us. Cleaners hear from their relatives, their friends, and our current cleaners about how we treat our team, and contact us, asking how do they get a job with us. And to you, what is the outcome? A cleaner that is so appreciative to have the job, so happy to at last be paid correctly, so happy to have the training and support, they do their ultimate best to deliver to you, our clients and us, the best standard they can. So as we all end a week, I ask for some thought to be given to the Gig workers - the ones that work the hours most of us don't like to even think about working, and ask are they being treated fairly?

Check out my latest Thought for the Week. This week I've been thinking about barriers and how we treat them when it comes to thinking creatively. https://lnkd.in/gzqW7AA7 #barriers #challengebarriers #creativethought #thinkcreatively

We said goodbye to the wonderful Bonnie yesterday. She's heading back to Serbia and will be sorely missed. Funny thing is, Bonnie doesn't work for us. She does work however on our Precinct. She started as a rotational COVID cleaner helping to keep our Precinct safe as we remained open for the duration and she stayed on through each change of cleaning company at our request. Bonnie has been the epitome of reliability (the most under-used and under-valued word in the management vocabulary). Safe travels Bonnie! Juče smo se oprostili od divne Bonnie. Ona se vraća u Srbiju i mnogo će nam nedostajati. Smešno je to što Bonnie ne radi za nas, već radi u našem Precinctu. Počela je kao rotaciona čistačica za COVID, pomažući da naš Precinct bude siguran dok smo ostali otvoreni tokom cele pandemije, i ostala je sa svakom promenom čistačke firme na naš zahtev. Bonnie je bila oličenje pouzdanosti (najmanje korišćena i najviše potcenjena reč u vokabularu menadžmenta). Srećan put, Bonnie! #valuedteammember #appreciation #farewell #peoplecentric #diversity #reliability

Today is Robin's 17th birthday! 🎂 At Robin, we believe in sticking to our values every day. To celebrate, I asked my amazing team one question: What's one word that describes working at Robin? 🤔 The big answer? "Freedom." 🕊️ But what does having freedom and working remotely really mean? It's not just about being flexible, it's about having control and trust. It's the freedom to pick your hours, plan your day your way, and be there for your family when they need you, like looking after sick kids during the day and working later. Working remotely also means less stress. No more getting stuck in traffic or rushing to reach the office on time. Instead, we get to start our day calmly at home, which helps us focus better and get more done. With nearly 8 years of experience here, I've seen firsthand how remote work lets us mix our personal and work lives smoothly, so we can do well in both areas. It's proof of the trust and support we share in our Robin team. 💙 What does freedom at work mean to you?

Snelling Georgia was founded in 1995 as Happy Faces Personnel. Happy Faces always referenced “the triple-win”—Happy employees, Happy customers, Happy Faces! It’s a catchy slogan but underneath the alliteration was the belief that our interests and ability to thrive are always interconnected. The name has changed but the belief is the same! At Snelling Georgia we aim to do that bridge work: finding great employees and top talent for our customers and well-matched opportunities for our candidates. Mutual thriving is our goal!   But what does it really mean to “win at work?” What does it look like? How do we work towards it? And how do we celebrate the wins—big and small--when they happen?   Starting next week, “Triple-Win Wednesdays” are where we dig a little deeper and explore these questions and more. Stay tuned--and maybe share a recent win you've had below! #snellinggeorgia #triplewinwednesdays #winatwork #smallwinsbiggains #atlantastaffing
