Despite the recent economic downturn in the U.S., many housekeeping departments continue to have difficulty finding and retaining quality employees. And others have little turnover, but struggle to find new ways to motivate their workers. This issue’s cover story, “Catering to Cleaners," offers advice from peers regarding what incentives you can offer your cleaning staff.

Of course, our efforts to provide you with the most current information regarding employee issues doesn’t stop here. Housekeeping Solutions magazine also is happy to once again present in-house housekeeping management seminars at the ISSA/INTERCLEAN annual convention and trade show, Oct. 16-18 in Las Vegas, this year. You won’t want to miss the dynamic Harry Paul present his secrets to helping employees enjoy their cleaning jobs Oct. 17. Paul will tailor the same successful formula used at the Seattle Fish Market — which has become world-renowned for its fun-loving atmosphere and enthusiastic employees — to the cleaning industry.

We’ll also have a packed day of seminars Oct. 16 covering everything from learning to work better with top administrators to better ways to train your staff and ways to improve operations without stretching yourself too thin. Keep a close watch out for articles written by many of the featured speakers in upcoming issues of Housekeeping Solutions.
