Staff Tidiness

At a busy exhibition, a stand can very quickly become untidy. Dirty cups, saucers and plates should be cleared when the visitors depart, ashtrays should be emptied frequently, the stand should continue to look inviting at the end of the day, not like a refuse dump. It is all too easy to let this happen, and you should constantly emphasise the value of good housekeeping. Staff will get tired: they should be allowed breaks when they can sit and relax away from the ‘business end’ of the stand, either in a staff room built into the stand or one of the cafes or restaurants within the venue. In no circumstances should they lounge around on the stand, as this does not create a good impression. Staff should be discouraged from smoking on the stand. Many people find this offensive.
