I work in a manufacturing company in the UAE as an HR Incharge and have been receiving regular complaints about the mess created by the staff after eating lunch in the office pantry. This includes dropping food, leaving used food containers on the table, and spilling food in the fridge, among other things.
I have put up warning notices on the pantry walls and have also sent emails to the staff outlining the guidelines on the dos and don'ts of using the common lunch area. Despite these efforts, the problem persists.
Can anyone share any tips or solutions that have been effective in addressing a similar issue?

Dear HR Team member,
I am sorry to mention now that it shows the bad attitude of your employees, which can be changed by regular counseling, whether one-on-one or in groups. We should aim to spread the organizational culture and maintain cleanliness inside the common areas used by other employees for their convenience.
Last but not least, remember that "spare the rod, spoil the child." It is important to address any issues by identifying and warning the defaulters, and if necessary, imposing fines to encourage positive change.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,

I fully agree with the idea of forming a society with the spouses and entrusting the responsibility to them, as it will bring a lot of discipline into the organization. Even when you think about uniform stitching, event management, creche management, etc.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

How many times have you had lunch, dinner, or breakfast with the staff members? Why do you think they are not concerned about cleanliness? Is there any dissatisfaction in their mind or heart for some reason? 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.
