Let's treat our staff right!
Hi all,
Newhub just published an article about the mistreatment of cleaning staff at another cleaning company (you can read it here: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2018/10/treated-like-slaves-overseas-students-claim-they-re-underpaid-overworked-threatened.html). This story is awful, and definitely not a reflection of who we want to be as a cleaning company! I’m sure we aren’t as bad as that article, but it would be worthwhile to make sure we don’t mistreat our staff in any way. We’re specifically thinking of how supervisors might talk to our cleaners sometimes, especially if there are any issues going on. I’m going to get all AMs and supervisors together to make sure we are all on the same page about this next week. In the meantime I would like everyone to be mindful of how mistreating staff in any way is not part of our culture, and of how damaging such behaviour could to our reputation as an employer if it would be published.
Cheers
Myrjam
