During the week of September 11 – 17, 2022, housekeepers across the globe are being recognized for the essential services they provide through their profession. International Housekeepers and Environmental Services Week, which began in 1981, is a special week dedicated to the hard-working men and women who make a positive difference in our world.
Housekeeping professionals impact all areas of business—from factory operations and technology corporations to the ever-expanding industries of hospitality and healthcare. They also provide steadfast and quality housecleaning support for school systems, vacation rental properties, and millions of families.
How to Celebrate and Retain Housekeeping Staff
Every housekeeping employee holds a key to success for homes, businesses, and organizations. Your key to success is celebrating and retaining staff who are quality employees. As you celebrate the housecleaning staff for this special week with luncheons, award ceremonies, gifts, or bonuses, below are five suggestions to help you celebrate your employees all year…and hopefully beyond!
Does a housekeeper on your staff have a “Golden Touch?” Reward them with monetary gifts such as “gold” gift cards or present them with gold jewelry, watches, or plaques inscribed with wording that honors their work.
Housekeepers ARE professionals and should be respected for their work. When an individual is treated as a professional in their job occupation, they will likely complete tasks in a professional manner. Employees are also more likely to remain at a company that fosters a professional environment.
3. Provide Career Growth Opportunities
Housekeeping personnel are interested in growth opportunities. Potential options for career growth could involve training certification, participating in a process improvement program, receiving education credits—even offering a career track to promotions, incentive awards, and salary increases.
4. Offer Days Off And Flexible Schedules
5. Streamline Housekeeping Tasks
White towels = housekeeping
12×40 towels with colored dobby = fitness
Bright vat dyed colors towels = pool
