- Hire new staff and recommend transfers, promotions and dismissalsA housekeeping supervisor is responsible for screening job applicants and hiring new employees for the housekeeping department.

If the department does not have enough available team members or there is an urgent matter needing attention, it is your responsibility to help the team perform cleaning and maintenance tasks.

You can use that knowledge to properly train members about guidelines for important issues such as personal protective gear inspection or chemical standards, physical cleaning or terminal cleaning. This ensures your team's compliance, efficiency, discipline and consistency in the performance of tasks.
