“GBAC STAR validates that CCS truly has the knowledge to help a facility clean for health and it has given our employees another thing to be proud of.”
– Troy Coker | CEO, CCS Facility Services
GBAC STAR accreditation is a significant achievement for facilities. GBAC STAR facilities demonstrate their commitment to supporting a high-performance cleaning and maintenance program to maintain a hygienic indoor environment. Accredited facilities have knowledgeable cleaning professionals who are trained to uphold the highest standards of health and safety.
Managed by the Global Biorisk Advisory Council® (GBAC), a division of ISSA, GBAC STAR helps facilities apply the science of clean to benefit the health, well-being, and performance of building occupants. Accreditation is not about passing or failing, but about helping a facility focus on improving performance through data-driven cleaning. Facilities can measure their performance by analyzing their cleaning activities and the outcomes of these tasks.
The GBAC STAR model for improvement uses the Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology, which tests the results of cleaning process changes. Accreditation guiding principles start with three
basic questions for each facility:
What are you trying to accomplish?
- How will you know that a change is an improvement?
- What change can you make that will result in improvement?
Driving knowledge to reinforce cleanliness
Leaders at CCS Facility Services, the first GBAC STAR service-accredited company, highlighted the importance of employee engagement and continuous improvement.
“The accreditation drives knowledge and best practices to frontline staff, emphasizing the importance of employee engagement and validation of their roles,” said Troy Coker, CEO. “We intend to renew GBAC STAR annually because it validates that CCS truly has the knowledge to help a facility clean for health and it has given our employees another thing to be proud of.”
