Idk, An employee entering whatever gender toilets to clean it isn't gonna be seen as creepy imho, unless they're being actively creepy, like by recording videos with creepers' glasses. I mean, menployees clean women's toilet all the time and womenployees also clean men toilets.
I can't believe many if any business is currently paying gender-specific cleaners for gendered toilets. An employee would just grab that yellow rolling cleaning cart and deal with the thing and move on. It's a scenario that happens literally everyday everywhere unless the place doesn't clean their toilets.
The difference here is that your typical janitorial staff will look like janitorial staff. This guy is just a generic manager (a uniform change when cleaning would be a good idea though).
The other issue is that most businesses don't have locker rooms; they're just bathrooms.
A bathroom has stalls where you can't see them whereas a locker room will often have naked or nearly naked people just walking about.
You don't go into an opposite gender bathroom to clean without propping the door open and putting a sign up stating that it's being cleaned. You don't want to be in a stall cleaning something up, while someone else walks in and starts changing without noticing you in there.
Heck, even if it's a same gender, they often do that so they can take care of the whole job quickly without getting interrupted.
Recording while walking around in the bathroom/locker room is never and has never been the answer to any problem that has ever existed.
