Looking for some good research topics about Housekeeping Dept. in a 4-star hotel....HELP ME PLEASE!?

I'm going to start an internship program at a hotel for my college requirement. The internship program requires me to do a research or a project about one specific department that I'm going to work in.





One hotel has decided to let me do my internship program in their housekeeping department. However, I still couldn't find a good topic for my research paper or my project about that dept.





Descriptions: This hotel is a 4-star hotel (upper-scale) and it is under the union regulations.





Some of my friends that will work at the same dept. at another hotels have came up with some good topics on their own such as "Developing an effective Housekeeping Staff Training Manual" (project topic example) or "How to control the inventory cost of the Housekeeping Dept.?" (research topic example).





Can somebody help me finding other good research or project topics about this particular department?I'm really confused and really need some help about this..





Thank you so much for helping!

I used to be a housekeeper in a luxury retirement home. Believe it or not, running a housekeeping department is quite complicated. If I were to do a project on the subject, here are some angles I would consider:





*Don't do your project on the training manual*





- controlling the inventory cost. State-of-the-art vacuums cost money, as do the chemicals they use.


- do you pay your workers by the hour, or by comission? pros and cons.


- maintaining customer convenience while keeping the standard of cleanliness.





there are lots of others you can do. my advice is, interview a few housekeeping supervisors and ask about their biggest challenges.
Reply:Why is housekeeping an important factor in the Hospitality trade?


How is it related to customer service ? Describe its importance in supporting the integrity and pride of the hotel's mission statement...Explain why it can make or ruin a hotel's name if there is no structure in its housekeeping department...........
Reply:what about the pros/cons of allowing pets in the rooms.


Or maybe the pros/cons of having smoking rooms in hotels.
