Dealing With Upkeep Of Washroom - Messy Ladies

Hi Seema

Greetings for the day!

A lot of suggestions have already come your way ,I would just like to add my bit to it.

Firstly I would like to express my thoughts on the situation.I feel that personal health and hygiene is something which is very difficult to teach ,specially to grown up adults.I think trying to monitor the situation on a regualar basis will be a tedious job and the moment you stop monitoring things will go back to square one.

I agree with few of the members who have suggested to deduct a certain amount from the salary as a penalty. I would suggest that you send a mail to the female employees giving a break up of the cost involved in painting the toilet walls or cleaning the floors or putting up a new mirror and then divide it among all the female employees .Let them know the share they have to pay in case there is any such instances in future. The figures on mail will give them a real picture and will help improve the situation .The implementation of such a thing may not be necessary just a warning might help.

I hope this makes sense to you

Yes, the intention is that the female employees should have the fear that they are being watched. Even if you put up dummy camera, it will definitely work. Unfortunately in our country, the one thing that definitely works is "fear".

why fitting it IN???
Fit the Dummy / real cam outside the washroom - so u can see who all is going inside.
End of day - if there are additional art work in the rest room - just tell them that everyperson who used the rest room that day will CLEAN the art work themselves. Buy some cleaning agent and keep it ready with u...tell them its for the one who is the most creative in the rest room.
And just put a Sign "We admire your creativity at work, but not in the rest room. Shame on you ladies who dont have manners!!"

It's difficult to impose and this may not be followed, but easy to make them FEEL and make them RESPONSIBLE.
This will help not only for this subject, but for most of the issues in life.

Such behaviour is uncalled for. You need to set up a meeting with all the ladies during their own break and detail on hygenic practices and explicilty reiterate personal discipline and accountability or else you can set up a workshop and get an outside service provider to come a present a ladies talk with them . If it does not work design a good-housekeeping policy get them inducted and let each and everyone sign acknowledgement and later starat applying disciplinary action s to those culprits

Putting camera or issuing warning etc won't help this days as it has become a habit people to do such things, which can also been seen on other public places also. The best way is to find the culprit either by putting the person who cleans the toilet at the place or camera whatever is possible and they(the culprit) should be penalised , show cause, administrative action or what ever punishment the management thinks fit (according to the gravity of the offence) given to the employee not following the basic social rules.

Hey Seema CC,
I think whatever you do to fix this problem you might not succeed; if not fully. The best solution to catch the culprits is to set up a CCTV camera.

It makes one wonder what kind of women you have working for you>
Put up a notice that reads:THESE MIRRORS ARE CLEANED DAILY WITH WATER FROM THE TOILETS.

few solutions for this problem
1. You may consitute the team from the users and ask their opinion to solve the issues. Create the thought amoung the group and make them to understand that, their behaviour is not acceptable.
2. If not improving, You may charge some penalty which can be shared by users as upkeeping charge ( like painting and cleaning expenses).

Maybe this will be a bad idea or might be impractical, however if possible it will work cent per cent ie. 100%. Put a notice that there are hidden cameras for surveillance and Lady wardens are on watch. And if possible you may go on installing them as well.
Personally I would not recommend something that harsh, however if nothing else works this is a foolproof solution.
Cheers -:)
