This week, the Inn at Haven Harbour's housekeeping staff and management celebrated International Housekeepers Week. Each year, the week serves as a special opportunity for us to acknowledge the outstanding efforts of our housekeeping team and thank them for a job well done.
The Inn's five buildings, 19 guest rooms and suites and occasional wedding or special event pose a serious need for a reliable, in-house housekeeping crew.
"Things change by the minute here," said resident and seasoned Inn Manager Dottie Wetmore. "We have high standards and a fast schedule that most, if not all, contracted cleaning services would not be able to accommodate."
Having on-site housekeepers also allows for greater buy-in from team members, enhancing the family environment that a majority of employees at Haven Harbour cite as their most enjoyable aspect of work.
"I particularly enjoy working as a team," said Housekeeping Manager Mary Gordon. "It feels great when we accomplish tasks together, all in an effort to better our guests' experience."
All housekeepers are local to the Rock Hall area, some of whom now returning to classes at high school or college.
It's not every day nor every business that quality team members arrive to work willing and ready to accomplish the day's tasks. But for our crew the decision is quite simple, possibly due to the fact that Haven Harbour is not just any business – we are family.
