You can now look beyond what training has always been and develop new exciting long- term training and education aspirations for your business and people, then deliver them.
As the challenging economic environment continues, businesses that define and then deliver their training and education aspirations will create the committed, skilled teams necessary for ongoing success.
Within the cleaning and FM sector, it’s not just about the type of training that’s delivered but how widely and effectively it’s deployed that can ultimately have the biggest impact on service delivery performance. There’s no doubt that the demand for demonstrable quality training standards is increasing and is now a priority discussion, through which many successful businesses and service users are finding new thinking, invention, and adoption is emerging which is strengthening their businesses and helps them to stand out significantly from the competition.
They realise training as an ‘option’ is gone, and training as a fundamental part of the business apparatus is here, becoming more diverse and measured, no more half days here and there, it must be constant, consistent, equitable and integrated to create a significant effect.
"The demand for
demonstrable quality training standards is
increasing and is now a priority discussion."
So, what are these businesses doing differently? They think aspirationally about education for their people, all their people, and have an understanding that training can and should be going further as people are more than just a resource, are savvier and expect more than ever before.
Those businesses also recognise that going beyond basic training allows new standards to be set and maintained throughout a workforce, benefitting all involved, internally and externally. They look at what is possible, developing hitherto unexplored aspirations far beyond what they

previously thought they could achieve. They know that delivering the right training to the right people can dramatically change their business and service offering for the better.
Over the past few years there has been a small boom in training solutions within the cleaning sector and choosing the right one is perhaps not an easy task. With a growing choice in both the type of training available and how it can be accessed or delivered, it is important not to be pulled into thinking that being ‘online’ or ‘virtual’ in itself is progressive (the term ‘online’ was coined in the 50s and ‘virtual’ in the 70s); just having a technological solution does not guarantee standards are being met. It’s how you can develop your training that is truly progressive, and why the training solution you invest in is so important. It must meet needs today and aspirations tomorrow.
Available options range from simple sets of ‘online’ videos accessed via websites; to Learning Management Systems (LMS) designed to deliver a set of training, possibly based on specific product ranges, sometimes certified, offering a cost-effective base to establish simple training for some, with more flexible access than traditional 1-2-1 methods; to full Learning Platforms such as UhUb, designed to be as simple or broad as you like that deliver a fully flexible, demonstrable approach, able to deliver unlimited breadth of training for the whole workforce, at all levels.
So where to start? UhUb, which has certified over 15,000 learners in the UK since 2016, believe it’s good to consider what you want before seeking a solution. This is not always easy after decades of little choice and with the most obvious sources not necessarily being up to date, forward thinking enough, or the best fit.
UhUb encourages clients to adopt a ‘what if we could do anything’ thinking to develop aspirations beyond anything they previously imagined possible to deliver. This has enhanced their clients’ views on, amongst other things, deliverables around learning, development, engagement, assistance, retention, career progression management, sustainability knowledge and demonstrating accreditation credentials.
Stephen Goodall, MD at UhUb, said: “One question we ask those we speak to for the first time is, ‘What would the ideal training system deliver for you?’ and ‘If you could do anything with training, what would you do?’ This begins
