Executive HousekeeperSession 1.2: Balancing Act II
Format: Panel Discussion
Juggling the various aspects of work and personal life is akin to being a trapeze artiste walking a tightrope. In the Corporate World, Housekeeping Services are not part of the core business and tend to be put on the back burner. Moreover, hiring trained staff to implement these services increases the payroll expenses. A large number of tasks have to be carried out during non-working hours. Listen to how you can navigate these challenges and cultivate a sense of equilibrium.
