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.

The program will be presented by Ms. Gisele Canova, Instructor and Internships Coordinator, UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management.
