Access Keys to Elevate Your Healthcare Cleaning Management with Fiona Nemetz

Join us at iClean Conference 2024
Australia’s No.1 Conference for Environmental Services Managers, Supervisors & Infection Control Professionals.

The iClean Conference 2024 is so excited to welcome back Fiona Nemetz, MS, CHESP, a renowned leader in Environmental Services (EVS), Safety, and Security at Northside Hospital, Atlanta. Her management of EVS teams working with 5000 beds has been highly awarded and her expertise is sought after globally.

In 2017, Ms. Nemetz spoke at our national iClean Conference with interactive sessions that inspired attendees and gave voice to their needs. We’ve noted 5 brief insights from her lecturer below.

On Changing Hiring Practices:
"We used to prioritize cleaning experience in hiring, but now we focus on personality and interpersonal skills, as these can't be taught"

On Employee Training and Development:
"Training doesn't stop just with the initial training. It needs to happen ongoing, reoccurring..."

On Understanding Employee Challenges:
"We don't always realise what our employees go through just to get to work."

On Management and Accountability:
"You've got to be walking around making sure the accountability is in place."

On the Role of Structured Communication in Healthcare Management:
"A formalised communication program is vital for enhancing stakeholder awareness and collaboration. It involves regular reporting and benchmarking, which acts like a report card to secure additional resources."

This year, at the iClean Conference 2024, Fiona Nemetz will be presenting her insights and experiences, highlighting the critical importance of effective leadership and training in the healthcare sector. She'll be delving into the topics of team building for long-term retention and reducing management issues through the development of culture and processes that encourage the retention of motivated employees. Fiona will share her approach to staff development and achieving operational excellence in hospital cleanliness and safety, setting new benchmarks in the field.

Past Attendee Feedback

The conference was amazingly well run. Plenty of opportunities to ask questions. The speakers were world leaders and very informative.

- Elizabeth, Greengate Aged Care

The Conference highlight was being able to access international, science-backed information from experts in their field. When training I need to be able to present information that is truthful and based on validated information. The staff was another highlight. Everyone I dealt with was fantastic, professional, and just lovely.
