ETHICAL EMPLOYER
LONDON'S LEADING ETHICAL OFFICE CLEANING COMPANY
Our most important investment is in our people. As London's ethical office cleaning company, our team are our shop window, so it is essential that they represent Hive well.
We make sure our team are well-trained, looked after and well-rewarded and that commitment shapes every part of how we recruit, manage and support our cleaning staff.
This people-first approach is what allows us to deliver consistent, high-quality commercial and office cleaning services across London, while upholding the ethical, sustainable standards our clients expect from a B Corp certified cleaning company.
Living Wage Employer: Fair Pay for Every Employee
We pay more than the London Living Wage to every employee, making us one of only a handful of ethical cleaning companies in London to do so. Fair pay is central to our approach as a responsible employer in the commercial cleaning sector.
Guaranteed Hours and Genuine Career Progression
Every staff member has guaranteed hours with no zero-hour contracts, along with a clearly defined career ladder within the company. We always try to promote from within wherever possible, which means our cleaning operatives can build long-term careers with Hive rather than facing insecure or short-term work.
Equality, Diversity and Fair Recruitment
We hold comprehensive equality and diversity policies, ensuring our recruitment processes are fair. We create equal opportunities and do not tolerate any form of discrimination. Hive Cleaning is majority woman owned and WEC certified, and 80% of our management team are women. This commitment to inclusive employment and diverse leadership is a core part of what makes Hive an ethical cleaning company.
Industry-Recognised Training and Development
All staff members receive UhUb City & Guilds training, equipping them with sustainable, transferable skills for their careers in commercial cleaning. This training gives our team genuine professional development opportunities alongside practical, on-the-job expertise.
Smarter Operations Through Our Workforce App
To make day-to-day working life easier and more efficient, our staff use our dedicated Workforce app, which streamlines scheduling, communication and task management across every site. The app allows cleaners to view their shift patterns and site instructions clearly, log hours and tasks in real time, and stay in direct contact with their supervisors and area managers whenever they need support. It also helps our team manage their time more effectively, reducing administrative burden and giving them greater flexibility and control over their working day. For Hive, the app supports our efficient operations model by improving visibility across our workforce, helping supervisors respond quickly to staff needs, and ensuring consistency of service across every client site.
A Professional, Motivated and Long-Serving Team
Our continual investment in training, wellbeing and the tools our team use every day has built a professional, motivated and long-serving workforce, one that is proud to work for Hive Cleaning, London's B Corp certified ethical employer.
