The Future for Creating Effective Cleaning Standards is Through Whole-Workforce Training and Knowledge Networks

UhUb is developing effective standards across the sector, business by business, and creating Knowledge Networks across UK supply chains.

How do we do that?

Often standards have been dictated by a small group of people or an organisation, with very little monitoring, meaning once published there is no real-time knowledge of how they are received or progressing. Laying out, and publishing a set of skills standards is one thing, a good thing, but making sure they are adopted and deployed ‘as standard’ is very different. Hence, most published standards have failed to gain traction, across the sector, effectively.

UhUb and its Community takes a different approach.

UhUb’s training is creating a more effective result. We believe the only way to create and maintain standards is business by business, through Whole-Workforce training.

Why Whole-Workforce training?

Whole-Workforce training ensures everyone receives the same basic training, so a standard in knowledge, productivity, abilities, protection, and information is created across your business, and this can be demonstrated through live data reporting.

From there you have a solid foundation on which to create and deploy any other development training such as Client Specific, UhUb Supervisor & company career path training, on to Leadership.

What do we mean by Knowledge Networks?

Knowledge Networks go further and are deployed business to business across the supply chain enabling Training In, and Training Out.

Our client’s commitment to their service users is that every operative will be trained to the same standard. To achieve this, they can insist sub-contracting companies also deploy UhUb, ensuring training is consistent even if operatives are sub-contracted (training out). Also, they can ensure that any 3rd party, social, product & equipment, site specific, or other training from any source is made available to those who need it (training in).

Ever committed that EVERYONE on a contract will be fully trained to equal standard, when some are not employed directly by you? How do you achieve it? UhUb Knowledge Networks answers that.

As supply chains become more complex and less linear, standardised, demonstrable Knowledge Networks will become more important.

In 2021 UhUb’s community of UK businesses increased with 228,161 lessons carried out across the community’s 11,364 learners, that’s 32.81% more lessons than 2020, an indicator of the impact we are seeing Whole-Workforce training and Knowledge Networks create.

Here’s what our clients have to say about it:

“Keeping our employees engaged and fully compliant with legislation and industry best practice is key to ensuring our people remain safe, motivated and armed with the necessary skills to deliver a first-class service to our clients. Now with the help of UhUb, we are developing Knowledge Networks in the supply chain, starting with product and social training. This means those involved in the various elements of service delivery will have, or can share standardised, demonstrable training, whether in the field or the office. This is a ground-breaking step towards the future of training.”

“UhUb has transformed the learning experiences of our colleagues and has enabled us to deliver much more training and develop them much more quickly. We are now creating our Knowledge Networks with training going out to contractors and coming in from suppliers and clients, as well as UhUb’s partners for social skills. This is exciting as we can now demonstrate total training throughout the business and our supply chain.
Thank you UhUb!”
