Cleaning Industry Award Success for ISS New Zealand

Extremely high cleaning standards combined with a patient-focused service culture have delivered facility service provider ISS the Healthcare-Public or Private Hospital Prize at this year’s BSCNZ CleanSweep™ Awards in New Zealand.

ISS’s Ormiston Hospital team received a perfect score across a range of categories including Quality Assurance, Health & Safety and Training & Development, but it was the company’s commitment to high levels of service, in what judges described as a demanding site, that shone through.

“Achieving the CleanSweep Award for Healthcare is absolutely thrilling for Ormiston Hospital,” said Ormiston Hospital Chief Executive Officer Deb Boyd.

“It’s a real testament to the wonderful relationship and trust that has been developed over time between the hospital team and the ISS onsite team. We really do regard them as part of our wider Ormiston family and the results speak for themselves,” added Boyd.

Independent CleanSweep Judging panellist Wendy Stephens said ISS’s level of service at Ormiston was “all about the human touch”.

“It’s hands on and the staff care. It’s not all about the [commercial] contract – ISS site team truly care for the people at Ormiston,” said Stephens.

ISS Commercial and Operations Performance Director Neil Moselen said the result was a tribute to the entire Ormiston team.

“You can only achieve a perfect score if everyone is 100 percent committed to delivering the best possible outcome for the client, for the staff they work with, and for the patients they serve,” said Moselen.

ISS Chief Operating Officer, Elizabeth Turner said the judge’s tributes to ISS staff were entirely deserved.

“They’re exceptional people with an exceptional leader, and their approach to the work reflects that.” Turner added.

“We’re very proud of them.”
