Elevating Housekeeping Standards in Today's Hotels

I’ve been reflecting on how crucial it’s to continuously train our housekeeping teams on evolving cleanliness standards, especially with the heightened focus on hygiene post-pandemic. We recently started implementing monthly workshops to review techniques and share best practices, and I’ve already noticed a positive impact on our guest satisfaction scores. What training methods have you found effective for keeping your teams engaged and informed?

Love the idea of monthly workshops! We found a simple checklist for daily tasks really helps keep standards high. Have you tried using any specific tools for training?

I completely agree with the focus on continuous training. In my experience, pairing on-the-job training with video tutorials really helps reinforce those techniques. Have you thought about using something like that, @chloe1990?
