Human Resources Matters!

Uplift Cleaning Company is a small business with only a few employees. Businesses of our size may not need much for workplace documentation, policies, and procedures to be compliant with legislation, but we have made the effort to create a human resources manual with many policies and procedures in it.
Why Do All That Work?
We did all that work to get the business set up for success. Having a solid human resources manual allows us to onboard new employees and familiarize them with the business and what is expected of them in the workplace. Documentation like this makes onboarding day fairly standardized for all new employees, setting the tone for work with Uplift Cleaning Company.
Professionalism Through High Standards
We at Uplift Cleaning Company pride ourselves in the professional cleaning services we provide to our clients every day.
A critical part of this is from having all employees of the company know what is expected of them and how things work, right from the start of their employment with us. This way, everyone knows what they are supposed to do. If something unusual happens we might have a policy already to handle it.
Tomorrow is forecast to be a blizzard with zero visibility? No problem! We know how to deal with it! A cleaner needs to take a sick day? No problem! We have a policy for calling off sick or late for work.
While we have some flexibility, our human resources manual helps guide Uplift Cleaning Company into a successful future, with happy clients, clean homes and offices, and compliance with relevant provincial and federal labour legislation.
It has been said that proper planning prevents possible problems (the 5 P rule). Our human resources manual helps us to achieve this. By doing some work now as a small business, we can help ourselves grow easier with less risk.
Uplift Cleaning Company provides residential and office cleaning, as well as dog waste removal (poop scooping) services in the Niagara region.
