For <strong>Mister Kleen<\/strong>, we have experienced first-hand the challenges that come with running a business in today\u2019s environment and have learned how to adapt and pivot when necessary.<\/p><p>I&#8217;d like to reflect on two key areas that have impacted businesses, including Mister Kleen these last few years: the job market and the supply chain. Both of these issues have required dynamic approaches to find solutions, and I\u2019m proud of the work we\u2019ve done to meet these challenges head-on.<\/p><p>I am proud to continue the tradition, started by my parents, of hiring <strong>dedicated<\/strong> and <strong>hardworking<\/strong> people who are the center of our business. To recruit qualified applicants, our HR team has hosted numerous virtual job fairs which have yielded great results. We\u2019ve employed creative strategies and incentives to recruit and retain top talent in today&#8217;s competitive job market.<\/p><p>Once hired, we have worked to retain employees through a variety of means, such as competitive benefits and pay, site visits from upper management, and team check-ins. Additionally, every new employee meets with our recruiting team within the first two months of employment to make sure the onboarding and overall experience are positive.<\/p><p>Similarly, our employee retention efforts include adding flexibility with a focus on creative shift hours to accommodate traffic patterns, and work from home\u2013 if feasible\u2013 based on the assigned tasks. We are also glad to once again offer fun monthly employee engagement functions and celebrations to show our <strong>appreciation<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Our business relies on a steady stream of cleaning and protective supplies, to adhere to stringent health and safety standards. The combination of supply chain issues and price increases has impacted industries across the world, and we\u2019re no exception. We remain <strong>committed<\/strong> to offering our services at a fair value to our clients, so we\u2019ve had to get creative by sourcing more vendors and stocking extra items when shortages appear on the horizon.<\/p><p>While the effects of the last few years will likely resonate for years to come, I hope to reflect on this time with pride in the work <strong>Mister Kleen<\/strong> has continued to do for our clients, and the steps we\u2019ve taken to handle these unique challenges.<\/p><p>Wishing you a fun and safe summer!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-941e7af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"941e7af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ernie Clark, Jr., CBSE<br \/>President<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cb223c elementor-align-justify elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5cb223c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"\/summer-2022\/staff-highlights\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR EXCEPTIONAL STAFF<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5bfc574 content-right elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5bfc574\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c557c00\" data-id=\"c557c00\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-00776b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"00776b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"271\" data-src=\"https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-1024x347.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13 lazyload\" alt=\"\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-1024x347.png 1024w, https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-768x260.png 768w, https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent.png 1205w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/271;\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"271\" src=\"https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-1024x347.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-13\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-1024x347.png 1024w, https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-300x102.png 300w, https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent-768x260.png 768w, https:\/\/kleensweep.misterkleen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Logo_RGBTransparent.png 1205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/noscript>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f67d2e light-bg elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f67d2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.misterkleen.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mister Kleen<\/a> is a leading provider of contract cleaning services to Commercial and High Security facilities since 1976.
