    Great experiance, helping me build team, time, care, and guest service skills each day.
    The good thingsWhat I have enjoyed most about working at Novotel as a housekeeping attendant is being part of a supportive team and knowing that my work contributes directly to creating a comfortable and welcoming experience for guests. I enjoy the attention to detail involved in keeping rooms clean, organised and presented to a high standard. I have also enjoyed developing my time-management and teamwork skills, working efficiently during busy periods, and learning the importance of maintaining excellent hygiene and cleanliness standards. Most of all, I take pride in knowing that guests can relax and enjoy their stay because of the work we do behind the scenes.One of the challenges I have experienced as a housekeeping attendant is managing a busy workload, especially during peak periods when there are many rooms to prepare within a limited time. It can sometimes be challenging to balance speed with maintaining a high standard of cleanliness.
    The challengesOne of the challenges I have experienced as a housekeeping attendant is managing a busy workload, especially during peak periods when there are many rooms to prepare within a limited time. It can sometimes be challenging to balance speed with maintaining a high standard of cleanliness. I believe this could be improved through better communication and coordination within the team, clear allocation of tasks, and ensuring staff have the right support during busy periods. I have also learned to improve my time management and work organisation so I can complete my duties efficiently without compromising quality.

    A challenging but valuable experience that highlighting realistic staffing shortages
    The good thingsI enjoyed working with the team and having the opportunity to provide a high level of service to guests from all over the world. I particularly enjoyed the variety that came with working in a busy Melbourne CBD hotel, where no two days were exactly the same. I also valued the opportunity to develop my leadership skills as a Concierge Supervisor, supporting and mentoring the porter team while ensuring the guest experience remained a priority. Working within the Accor network also gave me valuable experience with its systems, standards and operations.
    The challengesOne of the biggest challenges was inheriting operational and staffing issues that existed before I joined while feeling expected to resolve problems that had accumulated over time Some longstanding performance issues had continued for years before action was taken The Concierge role was very different from a traditional Concierge position combining stores duties porter and bell desk responsibilities and supervisory duties There were days when I worked largely on my own while still being expected to meet supervisory targets Staffing levels did not always reflect the workload making service expectations unrealistic I also felt frontline staff could sometimes be blamed for issues that existed before their involvement A more welcoming management culture better communication realistic staffing and clearer role expectations would improve staff morale and workplace culture
