Employee Handbook Template | Fully Editable Document

Hello and Welcome to an 'Innovation In Cleaning' listing page. Are you looking for fully editable forms and handbooks for your cleaning business? Then look no further!!

I have been in the cleaning business for 40 years in various managerial and operational roles and have created many of the forms, handbooks and guides that you would need to streamline your cleaning business operations.

This 'EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK' has been specifically designed to introduce your cleaning business to new and current cleaning operatives to let them know your systems and processes as a business, and they will get to know what your expectations are of the new cleaning team working for your company, and they will see what your commitment is to them.

I have created this template with the correct amount of pages to have this final product of yours (after you have made your changes) to be sent directly to your preferred printers to be printed in a booklet form or uploaded as an online brochure.
