“Housekeepers are the unsung heroes” read one headline last week. Interesting piece pointing out the crucial role being performed by Housekeeping / Cleaning teams up and down the land and indeed across the world. It highlighted the pressure that they work under, the escalation of expectations in the current pandemic, the physical endeavour of the daily routine and the ‘cloak of invisibility’ with which they often seem to operate under. No different to many others in the workplace I maybe hear – Just stand back for a moment and admire their skills, their commitment, their resourcefully, their silent display of determination and always the show of the ‘can do’ face. A vital department to make sure the appropriate investment is being made. From experience, an acknowledgement and show of recognition of their contribution is so important for the Housekeeper and their team. Not the first headline read on this topic although it would be great if future stories focused on their achievements and the many many housekeeping positives rather than a repeat. Virtual hugs to the Housekeepers all-round – We would love to hear of the many achievements and acts of recognition ideally with a few photos.
