In recognition of International Cleaning Week, KAUST Facilities Management (FM) would like to honor the invaluable contributions of its janitorial staff. This week-long celebration, taking place from March 24 to 30, aims to highlight the dedication and hard work of these essential workers who ensure cleanliness and hygiene across the campus.
In the bustling community of KAUST, where innovation and academic excellence thrive, there exists a group of individuals whose contributions often go unseen yet are undeniably vital. Among these unsung heroes are the dedicated janitorial staff, whose unwavering commitment to cleanliness ensures our community’s smooth functioning and well-being.
As we mark International Cleaning Week, let us pause and recognize these hardworking individuals who tirelessly maintain our campus’s cleanliness and hygiene standards. Their diligence, attention to detail and tireless efforts contribute immeasurably to fostering a safe, healthy and welcoming environment for all residents, students and staff.
Their daily dedication exemplifies the values of excellence and service that define KAUST. Consequently, let us take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the KAUST janitorial staff for their invaluable contributions, not only during this week but every day of the year.
Alvaro Bennett, Manager Soft Services at KAUST’s Facilities Management, remarked, “The commitment and dedication of our Janitorial Team is greatly appreciated and celebrated in Facilities Management. I am immensely proud of leading this service and working with a team with such a high level of ownership. We would like to encourage the wider KAUST Community to, where possible, take the opportunity of International Cleaning Week to extend a simple but meaningful “thank you” to the janitorial team and invite them to provide feedback via the usual Facilities Management channels on the service delivery of the janitorial team.”
International Cleaning Week also serves as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of cleanliness and hygiene in promoting a healthy living and working environment. The KAUST FM actively engaged in discussions and initiatives to promote cleanliness practices and foster a culture of appreciation for cleaning professionals.
Facilities Management at KAUST recognizes our janitorial staff’s hard work and dedication. We are deeply appreciative of your efforts and are committed to promoting and acknowledging the importance of your work. Thank you, janitorial staff, for your invaluable contribution to making KAUST a better place for everyone.
