ARE THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS. 

WHAT MAKES WORKING WITH DEWHIT SUCH A GOOD EXPERIENCE?

IT'S IN THE DETAILS.

​DeWhit Facility Services offers the best maintenance jobs and employee benefits in the cleaning services industry.

EMPLOYEE SELECTION

DeWhit carefully chooses its employees using a proven process that includes background investigations, criminal records checks, drug testing, and references.  DeWhit’s Employee Training System has been developed and refined over decades in partnership with world-class corporations and partners and is among the best in the industry. Our training program includes extensive initial training, scheduled ongoing training, and special services training for all employees.

LOW TURNOVER

The janitorial industry is known for high employee turnover, but not at DeWhit. We are proud to say that because of the way we value and reward our employees we have one of the highest retention rates in our industry.  Our 2015 employee turnover rate was only 5%.

PAID TIME OFF 

Paid Time Off (PTO) is provided for full-time employees with annual adjustments for length of service.  DeWhit observes six paid holidays each year.  Any employee that has been employed for at least 12 months and has worked at least 1250 hours during the previous 12-month period is eligible for Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) leave.    

EMPLOYEE VALUE 

In contrast to our competitors, we endeavor to offer higher than average wages for our workers in each market we serve.  Our managers and supervisors are attuned to our employees' needs and concerns.  We listen and respond.  We treat people with dignity, respect, and understanding.  

PERFORMANCE REVIEWS

Annual performance reviews are provided to all employees and are the basis for pay-for-performance wage increases.  Supervisors and managers receive enhanced training to ensure that the work environment is healthy and beneficial both to our staff and our clients.

All of these measures and more provide assurance to our staff and our clients that they are part of the one of the best and most progressive teams in the cleaning services industry.
