describe in detail how the job must be done.

All the employees should carry out their cleaning tasks in a consistent
manner.

Performance standards are communicated through ongoing training

programs.

Well written standards are useless unless they are applied.

Well Performance Standards should be properly developed effectively

communicated and consistently managed.

The only way to implement standards in the workplace is through

effective training programs.

The executive housekeeper should review the department ´ s

performance standards at least once a year and make appropriate
revisions as new work methods are implemented.
