Tesco is axing contract cleaners in 1,920 stores
: ‘Like it or not there is still a stigma around being a cleaner. It’s a big ask when you have been busting a gut on the checkout or filling shelves to have to do this as well.‘If a store is not doing well then overtime gets cut and people end up being quite stretched. The danger is staff will not have enough time to clean properly.’
Tesco said staff will be trained in the new tasks and will be given extra time to carry them out, adding that a high standard of cleanliness in its stores has ‘never been more important’. The move comes at a time when hygiene efforts have been ramped up across the country amid the pandemic, but the supermarket giant said that a trial among staff found that their stores were cleaner.
A spokesperson said: ‘Following a successful trial we have found that giving our stores more ownership and control over their cleaning results in better and more consistent standards.’
