We are proud to announce that 5280 House Cleaning and Denver Metro Maids have become a part of Cooperativa Colorado Unida, LLC, operating as an employee-owned cooperative as of October 1, 2024. This groundbreaking transition positions us as one of the largest cooperatives in Colorado and a trailblazer in the residential cleaning industry.
As we’ve learned over more than 20 years in the industry, retaining our best Cleaners is essential to retaining our Clients, and offering training, competitive pay and benefits is key to that success. Our transition to an Employee-Owned Cooperative (EOC) represents the culmination of our longstanding commitment to providing industry-leading employee benefits. Since inception, the Merging Companies have prioritized employee well-being with a comprehensive package that includes an escalating pay scale, extensive training programs, employer-sponsored healthcare, Anniversary Pay, and a 401(k) plan. These benefits have been instrumental in fostering a skilled, dedicated workforce and driving the company’s growth and success.
The creation of the EOC builds upon these efforts, offering what can be considered the ultimate employee benefit—so remarkable and unique that it’s essentially the employee benefit from outer space. While transformative, the EOC is a natural progression of the company’s history of empowering its employees. Just as past benefits were introduced to retain talent and secure the company’s future, the EOC is designed to achieve the same goal by giving employees a direct stake in the company’s success. This cooperative structure not only enhances employee retention, recruitment, and overall employee engagement, but it also results in better house cleaning services to our clients.
Our transition to an employee-owned cooperative not only benefits our company but also serves as a beacon for progressive business practices. By demonstrating the viability and advantages of this model, we aim to inspire policy-makers and other businesses to consider similar paths. This shift supports public policies that encourage employee ownership, economic equality, and sustainable growth.
“Becoming one of the largest cooperatives in Colorado is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of,” says Director Glenda Montes. “It’s about more than business; it’s about pioneering a model that values every individual’s contribution.”
