We need your help!
It’s an exciting time for Populist Cleaning Co. As we continue to grow, we’ll work hard to remain as responsive to our employees as we are to our customers. We couldn’t accomplish what we do every day in the world of commercial cleaning and janitorial services without you, our hardworking staff.
The leadership team here at Populist is regularly working on ways to improve the way we do business.
Right now, we are concentrating on improving our methods of communication. We’re putting more information on our website specifically for you – our employees. We’ll also be reaching out to you via email regarding important company information, policy updates, check-ins, and initiatives.
Two-way communication is crucial. We’re in this together, and we’d love your input along the way. Please take advantage of this brief survey to let us know how we’re doing.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The Power of Professionalism
Professionalism is one of our Populist Core Values!
Watch this short video on the 7 Mindsets that drive performance and build trust.
WHY PROFESSIONALISM?
How do you view yourself? Do you consider yourself a professional? Did you know that viewing yourself as a professional turns out to be a big deal?
How you view yourself has transformation power, and viewing yourself as a professional is part of that tranformational power. Showing up as a professional is the type of aspirational goal that inspires passion, energy and enthusiasm. And, yes, this is personal, very personal!
A professional mindset goes beyond the specific requirements and tasks of a job, physical strength, smarts, and social status. It is foundational and principle centered.
As you saw in the video, Bill Wiersma talks about seven mindsets of highly successful and trusted professionals in a variety of fields that set them apart from others. They are:
-
-
-
Professionals favor getting results.
-
Professionals realize and act like they’re part of something bigger than themelves.
-
Professionals know things get better when they get better.
-
Professionals have personal standards that are often higher than their company ones.
-
Professionals know that personal integrity is all they have.
-
Professionals aspire to be masters of their emotions, not enslaved by them.
-
Professionals aspire to reveal value in others.
-
-
Professional ideals, for both individuals and organizations, have an inseparable connection to success. Being professional means better relationships and better results. Why? Because developing a culture centered on professional ideals, builds trust.
So yes, we should all aspire to be professionals! The specifics of what we do may not be glamorous. You all know the stereotypes of being the janitor. This is why we regularly discuss our core values and company vision. This is why we work extra hard on our employer/employee and customer relationships.
This is the meaning of quality partnering matters!

Inspection Insights
Always remember to look up, look down, and look behind!
Your building(s) will ALWAYS look different in the daylight. The sun shining will always bring out the dust and cob webs often hidden during the night.
