Abstract
Outsourcing is a conscious business decision to move internal work to external specialist providers. Hiring skilled and reliable housekeeping personnel requires a detailed hiring function and related managing resources. Using a third party, who can cater to the staffing needs of the business, will save a hotel the time required for recruiting, training, and managing the other human resource related tasks. This will allow the hotel housekeeping management to focus on their core goals and objectives, which are maintaining cleanliness standards, ensuring utmost guest satisfaction by meeting and exceeding guest needs.
