Tips to Improve Efficiency and Save Money in a Hotel's Housekeeping Department
Housekeeping is not only the largest department in terms of number
of employees, it is also the department responsible for continuously
maintaining the largest amount of physical space in the hotel. Since
housekeeping as a department is not responsible for generating any revenue, every
housekeeping manager should always make controlling their department’s expenses
a top priority.
Here are some tips from Gilles Arditi, President of Southwind
Hospitality, to make a substantial positive impact on your housekeeping
practices – to help you create a checklist to reduce costs and increase
efficiency, and perhaps even turn around an entire department.

Organizing Housekeeping to Improve Workflow
Every housekeeping department deals with cleanliness and all
ancillary service attached to that. For hotels, the standard of housekeeping
plays an important role in determining its standard. With accommodation being
the highest revenue generating department there, it is natural for housekeeping
to be the largest department.
Good organization is the greatest requirement for effective
housekeeping services, said Shane Nicolopolous, director of rooms for the Hyatt
Regency Scottsdale. See how organizing the housekeeping improves the workflow
efficiency.

The Role of a Manager in Housekeeping in the Hotel Industry
Housekeeping management is at the core
of hotel operations and can make the difference between a reputed hotel and one
that guests are unlikely to visit again. The primary housekeeping duty is to
ensure the cleanliness and orderliness of hotel rooms and to ascertain that
they are properly stocked with the supplies to which guests are entitled. A
hotel housekeeping manager not only supervises housekeepers in conducting their
duties but also investigates any complaints guests make and takes corrective
action.

manager has to play in a hotel industry.

This project involves examining and optimizing the energy efficiency of approximately one thousand properties within the bank’s real estate portfolio in order to systematically reduce their total energy consumption and CO2 emissions without any additional construction work. This five-year program is expected to cut the CO2 emissions of all buildings by at least 10% annually, equivalent to approximately 13,000 metric tonnes.
