Housekeeping Systems, Inc.
	Custodial Training Programs

Home		Peter Drucker, one of the best management thinkers of our times, goes on to say in the above quote that "...This challenge, which will dominate the management agenda for the next several decades, will ultimately determine the competitive performance of companies". What a powerful statement! He relates training your service workers to the very survival of of your job. When the labor component of your budget is approximately 90%, you had better make certain it works productively. If you don't, there will be someone else out there who will. Contractor's understand this. Time and again, in our seminars and our work with clients for over thirty years, we have seen unproductive housekeeping managers replaced by productive managers. One of the main reasons we see making housekeeping departments unproductive is a lack of adequate training programs and education of the work force. Don't let this happen to you. HSI can help you develop a competant, highly skilled work force that is the benchmark of a professional environmental services operation.

Customized Environmental Services Audio-Visual Training Programs

Training the housekeeping work force is vital to the success of a housekeeping department. Frequent and
consistent training develops performance excellence and predictibility. Employees feel more confident and
perform better when they understand how to do the job correctly. Training is an investment in the future
performance of your employees.

Training programs supplied by chemical and supply vendors can be inconsistent with your procedures and
sometimes be little more than thinly disguised sales presentations.

HSI's custom developed audio-visual training programs have the following benefits:

shoot builds excitement among the work force and can take into account those unique things about
your processes that no generic program can address.

programs grab your employees attention. HSI can develop training programs in almost any language.

Easily Updated - HSI's CD-based training programs are easily updatable. HSI teaches you how to
add or change images, re-voice and create whole new training modules.
