L&A workshop in Dubai

Lycette & Associates was in the UAE last month to deliver 2 workshops. One in Dubai and the other one in Abu Dhabi. The first 3 day Development Programme for Housekeeping Managers was held at the Raffles Hotel in Dubai. Participants flew in from Doha and Kuwait to attend the workshop.  The group gained an opportunity to network at the same time as learning essential management tools to run their busy Housekeeping operations in the Middle East.

The 3-day Development Programme is delivered in four modules; it focuses on Housekeeping specific financial management, housekeeping operations, staff training & development and quality control & property upkeep.  The overall objective is to improve the performance of housekeeping staff by targeting three critical areas of operation:

• Profits – improve cost control systems and effective utilisation of resources
• People – increase staff retention, effective leadership skills, personnel management and development
• Product – achieve and maintain consistency in presentation standards and property upkeep
