Hi Seema,
I had a somewhat similar problem in my office. Some of the male staff never used to flush. We used to call an informal meeting and warn all the males, stick notice papers in the gents' toilet, etc., but it was of no use. Then finally, I went and wrote a line on the notice board on our main floor: "Shame on you guys! The gents' toilet is stinking! Why don't you use the flush, after all, it's free?"
After that, I had never come across such a complaint. You can also try using something similar!

You should mention that if any one of them is caught doing that, they will have to clean the entire painting that's done on the wall. I am sure it will work; it did work in our company. If even one person is caught doing that, it will set a good example for the others.

Hi Seema,
The problem that you have mentioned, even after training the female employees, they are behaving like this, is strange! You can issue a circular to all the female workers so that it's in writing that the company can take disciplinary action.

Hi,
I empathize with you and your organization. Sometimes internal trainings don't help as they come from colleagues. That's when you need to look at training providers. I work for a multinational Training academy in Mumbai, and we regularly conduct such programs. Please get in touch with me if you are thinking of training your staff on corporate etiquette.

This is a bit different suggestion. We have tried it in our society. We did a bit of Gandhigiri.
Many people in the society were spitting on the stairs. So what we did is we wrote some notes on the stairs saying, "Please don't keep the stairs clean, spit everywhere you can. Make them dirty. Clean stairs are not looking good."
After some days, we found that the percentage of spitting decreased and eventually stopped. I do agree it's not a conventional way, but it worked in my case. Try the same way if you can; it's different and called Gandhigiri. The notice should be big and bold. I hope it will work because it makes the reader realize their mistake.
