TAS records the shift patterns of every cleaning operative based on their time and location. This way Abelian remains 100% accountable for ensuring we deliver the agreed number of cleaning hours. This data can be made available upon request, creating transparency in our working relationship.
Help Desk & Support Facility: Abelian’s emergency contact and support desk gives our clients yet another platform in which they are able to contact and forward any concerns or positive reviews. All comments via this platform are managed by the operational team, via dedicated help desk personnel.
If clients prefer, we are also able to place a written comments book within their facility. Comments can be recorded and a comprehensive review will occur when the area manager visits a clients site. Any negative comments are handled via the operational management team and resolved accordingly.
We use the Enhanced Disclosure and Barring service which enables us to make safer recruitment decisions – preventing us from allowing any unsuitable personnel working with vulnerable groups. As part of this commitment, all cleaning operatives must receive an enhanced DBS check prior to completing employment registration.
DBS checking allows us to determine the suitability of a cleaning operative. We provide all clients with Disclosure numbers and the names of any operative(s), which allows clients to view the suitability of each assigned operative. This method instils a trusted confidence in our safeguarding procedures. We also carry out List 99 searches whilst we wait for any DBS paperwork to be processed, acting as an interim security check should our client’s request.
