ISSA HYGIEIA NETWORK SEEKS TO MENTOR YOUNG
PROFESSIONALS Earlier in 2017, ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association, partnered with Diversey Care, a division of Sealed Air, to establish a mentoring program through the ISSA Hygieia Network (IHN) to cultivate the success of women in the jansan industry.
Named for Hygieia, the ancient Greek goddess of good health, cleanliness and sanitation, IHN is the first women’s network for the global cleaning community. IHN provides ongoing education, networking, professional development, and personal recognition awards to women working in or associated with the industry. Membership is open to any woman or man employed in or associated with the cleaning industry.

Mentors are currently available to be matched with mentees – professionals at any stage in their careers. The IHN Mentorship program provides a wide range of benefits to mentees, including: opportunities to develop new skills; access to independent, objective perspectives; increased confidence in dealing with issues; and assistance in setting and achieving career goals.
IHN Chairwoman, Dr. Ilham Kadri, said: “We’re excited to be able to offer [the mentoring] program to individuals within the professional cleaning industry. The program goes hand-in- hand with our interest in expanding opportunities for women at all levels within our industry. It will teach and empower women with many of the tools and life-skills they need to success and reach their full potential.”
The mentorship relationships are guided by a Code of Conduct, agreed to by the mentor and
personal care intermediates, food ingredients and energy chemicals.
BDC Chairman and Co-Founder Ben Thorp said: “The Biorenewable Deployment Consortium is proud to honour Green Biologics with its Spring 2017 Commercialisation Achievement Award. Green Biologics is a great example of a company that is effectively using its technology platform to produce a wide range of sustainable feedstocks into high performance green chemicals and industrial products. Its commercial plant in Little Falls, MN, is the reason that BDC has recognised Green Biologics and awarded its global team for its continued success.”
Tim Staub, Green Biologics’ Global VP Business Development, said: “We’re pleased to be recognised
mentee, ensuring their interactions are confidential. Mentees are asked to send their mentors questions or topics prior to each connection, then follow up with a recap. These actions will allow both the mentor and mentee to have a clear understanding of what was discussed, what actions should be taken, and the progress subsequently made by the mentee.
John Barrett, ISSA Executive Director, said: “Let us never forget that in the cleaning industry, as in every walk of life, women’s rights are human rights. Gender equality and the empowerment of women are essential to our sustainable future.”
