ISS Netherlands has been awarded two Golden Service Awards. The Nij Smellinghe Hospital in Drachten came out on top in the Health Care category. Furthermore, ISS was awarded for the ISS Management Training Programme.

It is the third consecutive year that ISS Netherlands has won Golden Service Awards, but this year's achievement was even better, due to the double win.

The Golden Service Award jury was particularly appreciative of Nij Smellinghe's team. It noted that: "Despite construction work, the hospital is sparkling clean, even the older flooring. Attention is given to detail and to the prevention of waste accumulation. This is a prime example of how cleaning clearly determines appearance. There is no question that this is a well-motivated team of cleaners and supervisors."

Concerning the ISS Management Training Programme, set up for Task Leaders, Supervisors, Area Managers, and Project managers , the jury noted among other things the high quality of some dissertations and the managerial staff's greater insight into finances as a result of the training programme.
