We Invest in Our Team

On the surface, one could say that ABM is a "people" company, literally. This is the substance of ABM. Not far beneath that surface, lies the spirit of ABM--who we really are. Our employees are more than just people. Like our customers and investors, they are members of a team, and they are leaders. Our team members form a synergy, reflective of the range of our services.

Not surprising, ABM has been one of the leaders in commercial facility services for nearly a century. The ABM Family of Services spans the entire nation, as well as regions in Canada and several international alliances. Our formula for success has a proven tradition of repeating itself, largely because we invest the dividends of our success back into our team members.

When you are ready to put your skills, enthusiasm and leadership to work, you should look to ABM.

Equal Opportunity Employer: Diversity in Action.

At ABM, tradition is as important as innovation. A central and valued component of this tradition is ABM's commitment to being an equal employment and affirmative action employer with a diverse workforce. ABM is pledged to the elimination of discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, sexual orientation, disability, ancestry, marital or veteran status. In addition, ABM has developed an Affirmative Action Program—including proactive Outreach—which is designed to increase the employment and promotional opportunities of individuals with disabilities, veterans, women and minorities.

Drug-Free Workplace

Bar none, you will not find a stronger goal at ABM than our ongoing commitment to providing a safe work environment for our team members, our clients, and the general public. As you can imagine, the impact of alcohol and drug abuse on society is both staggering and far-reaching. With this reality in mind, ABM has established a forward-thinking Drug-Free Workplace protocol as part of its Substance Abuse policy.

Our policy is proactive in nature and has the following three objectives: To ensure that our workplace is operating safely; to prevent, or otherwise identify and address, potential alcohol or drug abuse problems in order to ensure that such abuse does not jeopardize the successful operation of our business, nor otherwise affect the Company, our employees, our clients, or the general public; and to provide assistance for our team members and their family who have substance abuse problems.

ABM believes it is important that our team members’ personal privacy and dignity be respected while reaching our goal of a safe and productive workplace. Further, the Company believes that early recognition and treatment are critical to successful rehabilitation and to reduce business, personal, family and social disruption. To this end, we offer a formal Employee Assistance Program to our employees and their family members.

Protecting Our Core Human Values: ABM's Unlawful Harassment Policy

There is solid foundation at ABM, and it consists of these core human values:

Respect, Fairness, and Dignity.

Respect. ABM is pledged to providing all team members with a work environment that is free from any form of discrimination, including unlawful harassment. But “respect” at ABM is more than just a value, …it is a process. We back our pledge with employee and supervisory training, as well as with policy directives and guidelines, including the following affirmative measures:

Each new employee is provided with ABM’s Unlawful Harassment Policy and receives training about unlawful harassment.
Written policies against harassment are posted in each of our Branch, Regional and Corporate offices and distributed to each employee annually.
Employees with supervisory responsibilities are required to attend mandatory unlawful harassment training annually.

In addition, ABM’s Human Resources Representatives and Branch Managers are trained to investigate and resolve complaints under the direction of ABM’s Employment Law Unit.

Fairness. ABM takes fairness seriously. We will not tolerate harassment of--or harassment by--applicants, team members, clients, vendors or the general public. In addition, we forbid retaliation against any such team member or entity who reports unlawful harassment, files a complaint, or participates in an investigation. ABM Human Resources Representatives are trained in thorough, fair and confidential investigative techniques, and proceed with the utmost respect for all parties involved. To facilitate the early discovery of potential issues, ABM has established a Corporate Accountability Hotline for employees to report incidents of possible fraud, theft, or misconduct, as well as potential discriminatory, harassing or retaliatory conduct in the workplace.

Dignity. Our team members take pride in sharing the responsibility for promoting a workplace free of unlawful harassment and promptly reporting incidents of harassment. The ABM commitment does not end here; rather, this is where it all begins!

401(k) Plan*

ABM is pleased to offer a very competitive 401(k) plan. The most common plan for which employees are eligible is Plan 1. In this plan, ABM matches 100% of the first 3% of pay contributed to the 401(k) plan, and then 50% of the next 2% of pay contributed to the plan. If an employee elects to contribute a total of 5% or more of pay to the plan, ABM will contribute a total of 4% of pay. The best part is that all company contributions are vested!

* The Company reserves the right to change the Matching Contribution at any time. Contact your local Human Resources Representative for more information or about your Plan 1 or Plan 2 eligibility status.

Employee Vacation & Time off

Whether it’s time for you, or time to spend with your family and friends, everybody needs time off. ABM provides team members with time off for vacation (subject to business needs) and holidays, and leave for jury duty, illness, and bereavement.

Safety is Our Priority

The variety of services we provide and diversity of environments in which our team members work makes occupational safety and health a priority at ABM. We are committed to providing a safe environment for our team members as well as our customers and the general public whom we serve, and continuously strive to integrate safety in our business decisions, plans and operations. ABM has the experience and resources to address the safety and health issues that arise in virtually every industry type.

We Invest in Our Team Members: Training & Development at ABM Industries Incorporated

Ongoing training and development form the “concrete”, that holds the ABM foundation of mutual respect, dignity, fairness, and team work together. We have a successful history of developing employees for growth within the organization. This is evident by the number of managers and executives who have previously worked as service employees in our subsidiary companies.

Our Valued Programs: Training & Development in Action

Team members receive a thorough orientation that includes training in Safety Protocols and Procedures, Professional Conduct and Ethics, and Unlawful Harassment as well as extensive on-the-job training. After orientation our team members never stop learning. To assist in the continuing development of each team member, we actively support the many independent training initiatives of our subsidiary companies, including a variety of external and internal classroom-based training programs. To insure maximum participation throughout our organization and to optimize efficiency we have invested in a state-of-the-art Video Conferencing Network, as well as self-directed training programs via our On-line University and our library of video based programs.

Finally, team members who are supervisors, managers, and/or Human Resources personnel participate in additional training to complement and certify their unique responsibilities at ABM. Supervisors and managers are required to attend supervisory training courses at least semi-annually. Human Resources Representatives must complete our proprietary Human Resources Certification Program, as well as attend our annual National Training Institute.
