ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

Women in Cleaning is a new global platform launched last month designed for women to share their visions and authentic ways to build a career in the hygiene and health industry.

"In a male dominated industry, we believe that the women who are making a daily difference in our world of hygiene and health deserve a platform," explained Martine Mallee, marketing director at Consensus Group which developed the platform.

"Over the years we've worked alongside many inspiring women in different layers of the cleaning industry. What I've seen up close is they each have incredibly empowering stories and visions that are worth sharing. That's why we decided to build the platform ‘Women In Cleaning' to highlight their stories, visions and successes."

Mallee continued: "There is nothing wrong with celebrating male successes or visions. But women in all industries sometimes deal with social issues and boundaries that can be the foundation for very insightful and important conversations.

"The cleaning industry has a positive reputation for embracing women and their authentic leadership qualities. We welcome women to share their visions, journeys to expertise and success in business. And we welcome everyone to join the conversation. Our goal is to educate, inspire and bring people together."

Women in Cleaning has already published a free e-book in which 25 women active in the cleaning industry share their experience. It can be downloaded at: www.womenincleaning.com
