FOCUS

Hygiene turned into a watchword
when people returned to their
workstations in offices and to the shop
floor at manufacturing sites in 2022.
Manpower supply limitations were
felt in labour-intensive businesses,
especially those in the cleaning
industry. The focus on hygiene
solutions had increased demand from
management for cleaning methods
using cost-effective practices. Rising
to this challenge, service providers
changed the way they operate.

Training to handle technology
for staff in client offices and
work sites was one way
to hasten the acceptance
of digitalisation and
mechanisation. Service
providers invested in
upskilling their staff
in using the latest
equipment, understanding
the latest processes
introduced in cleaning, and
implementing logistics aspects
based on IoT solutions.
