I work in a manufacturing company in UAE as HR Incharge and have been getting regular complaints about the mess done by the staff after eating lunch in the office pantry like dropping food, leaving used food containers on table, spilling food in the fridge etc. I have put up warning posts on the pantry walls and also sent emails to the staff about the guidelines on the DO and DON'Ts of using the common lunch area. But still, the problem continues. Can anybody share any tips/solutions that have worked for you?

Dear HR Team member
I am sorry to mention now that it shows the bad attitude of the your employees which can be changed by regular counselling whether one to one or in groups and spread the organisation culture and cleanliness inside the common area where other employees use for their convenience. Last but not least, spare the rod will spoil the child, you catch the defaulters and warn them and fine them to change for the better.

Make this as pantry cum coffees shop and hand it over to group of ladies(wife’s)control. Fix the timings and procedures. You may see the wonders! It may click!

How many times you had lunch/Dinner/ Breakfast with the Staff members? Why you think they are not concerned for cleanliness ( Is there any dissatisfaction in their mind/heart for some reason?) Your more interaction with them will help you to conclude.

This is normal, Nobody drops food intentionally while having a meal. We serve buffet lunch at office, and ensure that there is enough of housekeeping staff to clean up once each table is vacant.
