You LOVE people and LOVE to take care of them, right? Keep reading.
You are a Housekeeping Pro and know what happens in Housekeeping & Laundry. A lot.

Improve product/services/employee & guest satisfaction while reducing cost – who said this was an easy job? Focus on People, Product, Profit – in that order.
Let’s see how many tasks we come up with; feel free to add, because we probably forgot some. Recruit, interview, training, double/triple/spot checking quality/quantity of work, inspect/inspect/inspect as many different areas of the hotel as possible on a daily basis, in the trenches with your team, available to work any day/any shift (especially weekends/holidays), answering a million questions, capitalize on Marriott resources, plan fun employee events, investigate stuff, coach, mentor, discipline, terminate, analyze, paperwork, inventories, purchasing, invoices, regulatory things (we are so glad there are only city, county, state, and federal jurisdictions to consider), console, emphasize, cheerlead (pom poms optional), scheduling, payroll, performance reviews, herding cats, DEI, community service. You get the idea.
Ensure our people have the best work experience possible. They count on you to be LOVED.
