...as a Hotel Manager, considering the fact how much time and energy you are putting into your profession every day, serving a demanding variety of Guests!
We also take into consideration those years you have spent at a Hotel School
or at a similar Hotel- and Tourism-related Institution,
the hours you spent studying, the very personal experiences you came across when
undergoing your very first practical training at a
Hotel - and the amount of time many of you are still investing in their professional advancement today!
We believe that individuals like you have a right to see the environment in which they are investing so much energy in, presented in a way that will be in accordance with their own great personal achievements - and the good reputation of their Hotel!
The following is an insight into the School-In-A-Pool-Project considering the needs of Hotel Managers and their Enterprise:
Looking at these details could help you to both advance your own career and to make a strong personal statement as a Hotel Professional - simply by
helping those Hotel Employees, for which a true professional career would not be possible without
individuals like yourself or a project like ours:
Unfortunately, not every single one of your employees had a chance to undergo the kind of training
which you had the opportunity to enjoy. Still, these individuals have the same duty to exercise their work in their own field of profession
to the best possible extent - directly influencing your own professional image, too!
One of the largest, if not THE LARGEST Hotel Department in most Hotels, is the Housekeeping Department and - as simple as it may sound:
A Hotel could not call itself a Hotel without it!
No, we do not consider this Department "as the most important Department of all".
You know of course that if it were not for a couple of rooms which the Housekeepers were getting ready for sale, that is: getting cleaned for Guests to use them - a Hotel could not consider itself part of the lodging industry...
That's why it is not unusual at all to "think cleaning when thinking Housekeeping".
However, another important aspect with the Housekeeping Department, a kind of side effect, is often forgotten: It is the fact that Hotel Housekeepers
not only are caring for the Interior of a Million-Dollar-Environment, an interior furnished with fine fabrics and
materials, that are easier 'killed than cleaned'.
We are referring to an even more delicate 'part of the Hotel',
whose value is the Housekeeping Department's to take care of within their field of responsibility - the Guests, whose value cannot be measured in money ... but who are by far more difficult to care for than velvet, satin and fine wooden furnishings...
We are certain that in your field of profession you will apply all the knowledge
you acquired at a Hotel School and during your career in your daily Management procedures.
We are also certain that you are asking for the same high Management Standards to be applied by your Heads of Department.
The problem is: regular Maids, Room Attendants and Cleaners
are not always aware of your requirements concerning your Department Heads.
They very often never had the chance to attend an appropriate school to enable them to communicate with their colleagues on the same mutual level
of understanding before taking up their position at the Hotel.
They are also not the kind of employees who will be given the opportunity to advance in their profession
by allowing them to gain the kind of basic knowledge of the Hotel Business which your employees at i.e. the Front Desk were being communicated during their first year at Hotel School!
We are not talking about the regular on-the-job trainings Housekeeping Staff may be required to undergo:
We are talking about a level of education which we refer to as HOTEL MANAGEMENT FOR MAIDS & CLEANERS!
What sounds incredible at first - is a rather serious approach to a kind of Hotel Education
which should be included in the basic formal school training of ANY Hotel Employee.
Unless people know how the enterprise they are earning their money in is working - they will never quite earn the kind of acknowledgment which is the very source of true motivation in any job - nor will they be able to deliver the kind of quality service required by your Guests.
Considering the fact that working in a Million-Dollar-Environment has a direct influence on the financial value of the Hotel and knowing that Housekeeping Staff has one of the most personal insights into a Hotel Guests 'temporary living space' - and ready access to their Room or Suite -
there is just more than one reason to support these employees' formal Hotel Education and a personal
and exceptional motivation of these individuals - which quite naturally comes along with their Certification.
The 'School-In-A-Pool'-Housekeeping Project intends to provide free formal Housekeeping Education
to selected applicants around the World of Hospitality - building a Pool of Housekeeping Professionals which you may find being of advantage for your enterprise as well.
The good news is: We don't want your money - we would prefer your support -
and that of your employees and trainees.
If you would like to promote your own professional attitude towards this topic - and that of your enterprise,
not only on our website, but also in any other project-related information - you may welcome the thought of buying ONE of our blue School-In-A-Pool Ribbons at the price of just Euro 5,40 per ribbon
, as a "symbolic drop of water for our Pool of Knowledge".
We would also appreciate a few personal words together with the ribbon order, for us
to publish online and in our project-related materials, which will also include a link to the homepage
of your Hotel.
Since Formal Housekeeping Education for Maids, Room Attendants and Cleaners is not a
'Third World Problem' - but indeed a rather global one, we are accepting applications
from Maids and Cleaners on a global basis and will see to it that the right individuals will
be able to participate in the appropriate School-In-A-Pool-Education Project in a city near them.
By displaying the project's Official Sign, the Blue Ribbon bearing its Credo 'Knowledge, not just cleaning', at your Hotel,
Guests will be aware of your own high standards in Service Quality throughout the Hotel.
If you are interested to join this project - and want to know how YOU will be represented in it for a Euro 5,40 fee - please contact us here.
P.S. Please consider the fact that even though we are providing free educational services
to our applicants - this is not a charity project:
Your agreement with this project need not be 'a heart-felt issue' -
but a professional point of view - which is what really counts in this project!
