Since Northern Star Commercial Cleaning began its journey over a decade ago, we’ve prided ourselves on delivering exceptional cleaning services in Jacksonville, FL. One of the most remarkable aspects of our business is that many of our clients have stayed with us from the very beginning. This enduring loyalty is no accident—it’s the result of our unwavering commitment to our team and their well-being.

The Industry Challenge: High Turnover Rates

The janitorial industry faces an alarming turnover rate, with some studies indicating it can exceed 400% annually. This means that, on average, companies in our field may need to replace their entire workforce multiple times a year. High turnover not only increases recruitment and training costs but also affects the quality and consistency of service—a critical factor in maintaining client satisfaction.

The Northern Star Difference: Low Team Turnover

At Northern Star, we understand that a happy, motivated team is the foundation of excellent service. By prioritizing the well-being of our employees, we’ve maintained a significantly lower turnover rate compared to industry standards. This stability allows our cleaners to build long-term relationships with clients, often working with the same accounts for years. This consistency fosters trust and ensures a deeper understanding of each client’s unique needs.

Our success in retaining both clients and employees stems from the value we place on our team members. Here are some of the ways we make Northern Star a great place to work:

  1. Competitive Wages: We offer high wages that not only meet but often exceed industry standards. This ensures our employees feel their hard work is valued and appreciated.
