À propos de cet audio

In today’s episode, we have Ronda Loftus-Helit, who is the EVS Director at Hillside Health & Rehab in Missoula Montana, where she grew up. Ronda joins us to share her journey from working as a cleaner, to becoming McDonald’s assistant general manager at 21 and then later joining the janitorial business. With all her experience in the industry now, she agrees that the floor should be the main focus when it comes to keeping a facility clean. Ronda also talks about how COVID-19 changed her working environment and the strategies she used to ensure they remained adequately staffed during the period. Tune in for this and many exciting topics.

I liked getting to know the building to even the maintenance part of it. ●     I also didn't know that you should tip your housekeepers at a hotel. I didn't know that was a thing. ●     Housekeeping really, in my eyes is your first impression, because their work is the first impression that people see. ●     You never notice whether or not there's a cobweb. You always notice the floor. ●     All of our jobs are hard. My job in cleaning up after others is hard. Taking care of others is hard. Being a resident in a nursing home is hard. ●     It's hard on all of us. But when we make it harder than it needs to be, what are we doing?
