Janitor University
The Curriculum
The name Janitor University may sound a little misleading, it is not a class for Janitors. Established in 1993, it is a five-day leadership course designed for cleaning industry executives from both in-house and building service contractors, utilities, education, healthcare and other sectors of the economy. Janitor University offers a slate of classes, each tightly focused on the (OS1)® Cleaning Process.
Students at Janitor University are immersed in learning the elements of a successful (OS1) operation based on the Janitor University Philosophy of Cleaning. All classroom materials and books are provided with tuition. This includes: cleaning science, workloading, waste reduction, functional management, tracking and safety programs that are currently in use at many of the leading facilities in North America. (OS1) is a complete custodial operations management system, which was developed over the past two decades by ManageMen, Inc. and the (OS1) Users. The course explores a radical approach to utilizing your labor budget more effectively by increasing productivity.
The cleaning industry is one of the most labor intensive industries in the world. It's filled with inefficiencies, low morale and high turnover. In the past, every effort has been made to overcome these deficiencies through purchasing bigger, faster or "greener" cleaning tools and equipment all the while ignoring the true cause of the problem: "THE PROCESS".
The participants at Janitor University classes are one of the programs greatest strengths. Each class consists of an outstanding group of experienced executives and managers from varied backgrounds. Students also have the opportunity to network with actual (OS1) Users who have had the experience of being a Janitor University student themselves and then implementing the program into their organization successfully.
The class provides a professional library of reference and workbooks to guide the graduates after they return to their organizations and to support implementation of the process they learned in the Janitor University environment.
