Housekeeping is a key to guest satisfaction and great reviews. The labor shortage and strong visitor demand have made it especially hard for you to keep up, recruit and train your staff, and promote a good work culture and high morale at your business. Your Florida Inns Board has listened, and we are developing a virtual educational session to focus on this topic.
We are bringing to you a two-part program to focus on trainings for managers and housekeepers.
February 23, 2022 1 P.M.
The program will be presented by Ms. Gisele Canova, Instructor and Internships Coordinator, UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management. Gisele has experience in housekeeping in both small and large properties including Orient Express Hotels, Hilton and Disney properties ranging from vacation villas to deluxe resorts. She also managed a 20-room bed and breakfast in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Audience: B&B Managers and Hotel Managers
