The challenges you faced in your housekeeping career
I faced the following challenges:
- High occupancy:
To tackle this, we trained all our housekeeping staff according to standard SOPs and conducted regular audits. - Cost and budget:
As housekeeping is one of the departments that has more expenses, we have to be more focused on our budget and cost control. - High guest expectations:
After COVID-19, guest expectations have increased in terms of hygiene. Dealing with these heightened expectations can be stressful.
