Why German Hotels Need 22,000 Housekeepers Now
By the end of 2025, Germany will have recorded a total of 47 million overnight hotel stays and will have generated revenues of €28.4 billion, which is projected to continue to grow at a CAGR of 4.2 per cent through the calendar year 2030.
According to Germany's Federal Employment Agency, the second-highest-skilled labour shortage in Germany is housekeeping, with the vacancy rate of approximately 48 per cent during peak seasons (Oktoberfest, ITB Berlin, and IAA Munich). DEHOGA standards require hotel facilities across Germany (over 12,500) that provide room accommodations (over 1.2 million rooms) to maintain the sanitation of each hotel room according to DEHOGA hygiene regulations.
Dynamic Staffing Services utilises India and Frankfurt-based offices to recruit experienced 5-Star housekeeping staff from Oberoi and Trident hotels and employ them at various hotel operations in Germany, and employ trained and certified housekeeping personnel from Taj Palace and ITC Grand Chola Properties in India.
Each housekeeper selected by Dynamic Staffing Services has completed DEHOGA hygiene certification and BG Verkehr Cleaning Standards and received a City & Guilds Level 2 Housekeeping certification; therefore, the DSS housekeepers will immediately comply with 5-star housekeeping standards.
