Experts discuss the changing trends of cleanliness and hygiene habits and what specially the hospitality sector has to offer in this regard.
The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the need for an integrated and comprehensive approach to human health. Improving environmental health through better water & air quality, sanitation, waste management, along with efforts to conserve biodiversity, will reduce the vulnerability of communities to such unprecedented pandemics and thus improve overall societal resilience and wellbeing.
“Hygiene and cleanliness is a way of life and not something that can be taught. It’s not about SOP. It is something you live with in and out. It’s a 360-degree approach. Cleanliness and hygiene has always been the mainstay of people selecting a particular hotel,” said Suman Dutta Sharma, Director – Institutional Hospitality, Sarovar Hotels. He was addressing a panel discussion titled ‘Changing Landscape of Hygiene and Cleanliness’ at BW Facility Management Conference & Excellence Awards 2023 held in New Delhi on Tuesday, 30th May 2023.
To delve deeper into this subject, other industry experts who joined the discussion comprised: Asha Pathania, VP-Housekeeping, PVR INOX, Vivek Rajput, Regional Manager and Head – Admin (North), Bajaj Finance, Sanjay Sehgal, COO, Highstuff Services, and Aditi Mohan, Chief Administrative Officer, FNF India, chaired the session.
