Staff accommodation is the residential place provided by the company to its employees for staying purposes. Only a few high-level staff are provided with a luxury apartment or room. The rest of them, lower-grade staff, are provided a room at villas or camps. In this session, we will learn about the general rules and regulations for the staff to follow in accommodations situated in Dubai.
All the residents must know the basic practices of the country where they are living. The United Arab Emirates is rich in Arabic and Islamic culture and tradition. Currently, people from more than 192 nations are living in the UAE. You must respect the culture, religion, and all nations to maintain peace and prosperity, which is also an ethical responsibility of everyone. The best part of respect is that it costs nothing. Building a positive relationship with each other also enables the creation of a healthy environment.
Proper hygiene and grooming are the basic requirements of the company. Taking a regular bath (as Dubai is a hot place and people often sweat in minutes), cutting nails, brushing, washing hands and using sanitizers, using a face mask (in terms of COVID-19), etc fall under personal hygiene and trimming or shaving hair, beard and mustache come in grooming standard. Staff who fail to follow it are liable for disciplinary action.
The company is responsible for providing necessary training and briefings to its staff on how to perform the work. Staff must attend those classes and learn to work properly. It helps in the efficiency of the worker and benefits the company.
All the staff should wear a dress code assigned by the company, as it reflects professionalism. If any clothes are damaged, they should be replaced immediately. Wearing a dress improperly, such as wearing a tie randomly, or wearing shoes or caps unauthorized by a company, can cause disciplinary actions.
Most companies don’t allow visitors to enter the staff accommodation for security reasons. Some companies allow visitors of staff to meet them in a specific area at a specific time. None of the companies will allow visitors to stay overnight.
Always use designated areas provided by the company for eating and drinking purposes. It helps in getting rid of cockroaches and other insects in living spaces and maintaining a clean environment.
It is the key responsibility of staff to report any hazards and accidents to the camp management. It helps to minimize the potential risk that might be caused if timely action isn’t taken.
If anything is missing or found, you need to report it to the camp management or a security guard. Items like keys, ID cards, wallets, and phones often go missing. It also credits your goodwill in the eyes of management.
Nothing will change overnight in the camp, but at least if you can provide suggestions and recommendations to the camp administration, they can implement them according to the requirements. There might be some issues that can’t be noticed by the management, but staff can identify them.
Keep in mind that throwing waste anywhere is punishable in the camp accommodation. It must be thrown in the trash bins provided. Always think that your pocket is the first dustbin. The world is already full of waste. Make an effort from your side to set an example of a clean environment.
The kitchens provided are equipped with a wet chemical fire extinguisher and blankets, which help in putting out a fire during an emergency. Cooking in the living room or any other unauthorized place is not allowed.
Hanging the clothes on the staircase and corridors doesn’t seem attractive. Clothes must be hung in the proper area.
Many people may not be aware that cigarette buds may cause a fire if not disposed of properly. Smoking in public areas, rooms, corridors, and staircases is strictly prohibited. Always use designated places for smoking.
Consumption of alcohol and drugs causes a lot of disturbance in accommodation management. Staff found selling or bringing those prohibited things inside the camp may face termination, and legal action can be taken in the case of drugs.
The company takes strict action against those who use offensive language because it harms the healthy environment and may lead to conflicts.
Fighting and quarreling never end any problem, instead, it increases. So, always avoid situations that may create conflict.
Stealing or using others’ property without their permission is considered a crime. Legal action is taken against the person who is found doing it.
If you heard something bad about the company or anything else (like the company is going to be the default, the company is in heavy loss), don’t circulate it to the masses. If you are facing any problems, you can talk to the camp management.
Sexual harassment is punishable by law. Avoid getting involved in such issues.
Keeping unusual sharp objects (except kitchen knives) that may be used as a weapon is not allowed.
Misusing the tools provided by the company and damaging the accommodation property fall under the violation. The company may impose fines and terminate the staff without their consent.
Some people may offer gifts and take some information or something else related to your company. It should be avoided and informed to the senior or camp management.
Some people have an unhygienic habit of spitting everywhere. It may affect other roommates or staff. It must be avoided.
Disturbing other people by making loud noises is strictly prohibited, as other staff may feel more stressed. They have to take a rest at the accommodation in a peaceful environment.
Staff accommodation rooms are already congested. Using carpets and curtains may lead to fire hazards and difficulty in cleanliness. You should avoid keeping extra materials.
Staff are not allowed to feed the birds, cats, or dogs.
