Housekeeping Concept in Management

Housekeeping or Housecleaning is the systematic process of making a home neat and clean in approximately that order. This maybe applied more broadly that just an individual home, or as a metaphor for a similar "clean up" process applied elsewhere such as a procedural reform. It can also be called household management, which is the act of overseeing the organizational, financial, day-to-day operations of a house or estate, and the managing of other domestic concerns.

In the process of housekeeping general cleaning activities are completed, such as disposing of rubbish, storing of belongings in regular places, cleaning dirty surfaces, dusting and vacuuming. It is also the care and control of property, ensuring its maintenance and proper use and appearance,. In a hotel housekeeping is a term for the cleaning personnel.[1]

Some housekeeping is housecleaning and some housekeeping is home chores. Home chores are housework that needs to be done at regular intervals,[2] Housekeeping includes the budget and control of expenditures, preparing meals and buying food, paying the heat bill, and cleaning the house.[3] Outdoor housecleaning chores include removing leaves from rain gutters, washing windows, sweeping doormats, cleaning the pool, putting away lawn furniture, and taking out the trash.[4]

Tools include the vacuum cleaner, broom and mop. Supplies such as cleaning solutions and sponges are sold in grocery stores and elsewhere. Professional cleaners can be hired for less frequent or specialist tasks such as cleaning blinds, rugs, and sofas. Professional services are also offered for the basic tasks. Safety is a consideration because some cleaning products are toxic and some cleaning tasks are physically demanding. Green cleaning refers to cleaning without causing pollution. The history of housecleaning has links to the advancement of technology.


Apa yang ingin dibincangkan di sini betapa perlunya proses ini kita lakukan dalam pengurusan organisasi kita. Tambahan pula apabila tiba penghujung tahun dan banyak perkara perlu diselesai dan diuruskan agar lebih efisien dan memberi impak baru kepada subordinat. Petikan di atas yang menjelaskan konsep pembersihan dan pengemasan di rumah, jika diadaptasi dalam konsep pengurusan maka ianya amat berguna dalam pengurusan harian. Mungkin tuan2/puan2 boleh fikirkan konsep ini dalam urusan seharian.
Terima kasih.
