Peartree Cleaning is rolling out an AI-powered multilingual training programme to make health and safety guidance, technical training and company information more accessible to its frontline workforce.
The initiative will see the company convert existing toolbox talks into short video briefings featuring an AI-generated presenter, allowing colleagues to access the content in their preferred language. The technology supports more than 160 languages, with Spanish and Portuguese expected to be among the most widely used.
The move follows recognition that traditional written toolbox talks can present challenges for employees whose first language is not English, particularly given the number of colleagues from South America working across Peartree's operations.
The programme will comprise 28 briefings converted from existing toolbox talks, 24 core training modules and a series of bespoke explainers. Topics will include chemical handling, the safe use of equipment, technical procedures and company culture.
All content is being integrated into Peartree360, the company's digital management platform, which is used to support cleaning operations, monitor performance and manage communications across its client portfolio.
Managers will be able to monitor which colleagues have accessed and completed each module. The company is also developing identity verification checks to confirm that training has been completed by the intended individual, alongside a question-and-answer function to help identify where additional guidance may be required.
Stuart Conroy, Commercial Director at Peartree Cleaning, said traditional training methods did not necessarily demonstrate whether employees had understood the information presented to them.
He added: "We want everyone to have the same opportunity to understand the information they need to work safely and feel part of our company culture, whatever language they speak. Being able to watch a short briefing in their own language, and go back over it whenever they need to, makes that information much more accessible."
Stuart emphasised that the technology was intended to complement, rather than replace, managers and face-to-face training, improving the employee experience and giving colleagues greater confidence in what they are learning.
Ten modules are already live, with 300 colleagues using the content so far. Peartree expects the full programme to be in place by 1 January 2027.
