Day-to-day communications related to housekeeping processes and standards with your service provider or housekeeping team can often feel like a tiresome task. Despite being? a time consuming process with higher chances of error, most organisations still rely on paper or excel sheets to conduct inspections, verify and mark tasks as complete or incomplete, report mistakes, and take remedial action.

Digital Checklists have become a game-changer for housekeeping supervisors because of its efficiency. Creating a digital housekeeping checklist for offices is seen to enhance cleanliness and productivity in the workplace. It allows you to categorise and prioritise tasks, set up automated reminders for recurring tasks, and provide options for team members to collaborate and share responsibility. In an office setting, a digital housekeeping checklist can ensure that recurring tasks like cleaning workstations, restocking supplies, and maintaining common areas are done regularly without needing constant supervision. By giving you an overall visibility, these checklists improve the efficiency and management of the housekeeping department and ensure a smooth process flow.?

? Create daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal tasks

? Categorise and prioritise tasks

? Set reminders and automate recurring tasks?

Switching to a digital housekeeping checklist streamlines processes, reduces errors, and boosts efficiency through automation, prioritisation, and improved communication. To learn more about how you can incorporate this into your Facility Management process, contact us.

INSIGHTS FROM STALWART

At the core of any organisation’s growth is the quality of the workspace and how nurtured the employees feel working there. At Stalwart, we have been actively prioritising the well-being of our employees, recognizing them as invaluable assets to our organisation. In line with this commitment, we have implemented robust welfare schemes that adhere to regulatory standards and go beyond to ensure that our employees enjoy a secure and fulfilling work environment.?

Here are the welfare schemes implemented at Stalwart:

Employee Provident Fund (EPF) :?

It is easy to overlook the importance of equipping an employee beyond their tenure. But our dedication to ensure financial security of our employees has been the key motivator behind implementing the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) scheme. This initiative aims to build a substantial corpus for our employees, providing them with a financial cushion post-retirement. Beyond just a savings mechanism, the EPF scheme also promotes disciplined financial habits among our employees.?

Employee State Insurance (ESI):

The ESI scheme offers a comprehensive health insurance coverage that safeguards our employees against unforeseen medical expenses. ESI covers a wide range of medical treatments, from general illnesses to more serious health conditions, and includes dependents, thus providing a safety net for the entire family. Additionally, the ESI scheme encompasses maternity benefits, disability benefits, and even funeral expenses, demonstrating our holistic approach to employee welfare.

Minimum Wages Act:

Stalwart complies rigorously with the Minimum Wages Act to guarantee that our employees receive fair compensation for their hard work. We recognize the significance of a fair wage structure in fostering a positive work culture and motivating our workforce. Adhering to the Minimum Wages Act also helps us to ensure that our employees can maintain a decent standard of living. We regularly review our pay structures to ensure that our employees' earnings keep pace with inflation and increased cost of living.

Annual BonusProgramme:

Beyond compliance, we often provide performance-based bonuses and incentives, recognizing and rewarding outstanding contributions. This approach not only enhances employee satisfaction but also drives productivity and innovation within the organization.

Grievance Redressal Mechanisms:

We understand that a supportive work environment requires mechanisms to address employee grievances effectively and have built a robust grievance redressal system to ensure that any issues or concerns raised by employees are promptly and fairly addressed. This system includes a transparent process for lodging complaints, regular follow-ups, and a dedicated team to resolve issues.?

Additional Welfare Schemes and Benefits:

Furthering our commitment to employee welfare, we offer a range of professional development programs such as continuous learning opportunities and workshops, enabling our employees to grow their skills and advance their careers.?
