Those with large offices and lots of conference rooms
who cleans the rooms and erases the whiteboards after each meeting?
We are currently in debate and I have my feelings about it but I wanted to get others opinions.

The person who holds the meeting (or their assistant) should shut down the projector, remove their handouts,etc. Our cleaning crew will take care of clearing the left over food or cups.

Usually the assistants of the staff member holding the meeting but mostly everyone cleans up their own stuff.

Re: Those with large offices and lots of conference rooms
currently we are getting quotes on how much facilites would charge to clean the rooms daily including wiping the white boards.
It's ludicrous.
We can all pitch in after meetings to make sure the room is clean and the white boards are erased.
More wheel spinning.
and yes, guess who is involved in the chase.

Re: Those with large offices and lots of conference rooms
Everyone here cleans up after themselves, this is a corporate environment. That means tossing coffee cups and wiping the boards.
We have a person who sets up beverage and food service, and she removes the cart once the meeting is done. No cleaning though.
As far as vacuuming and trash removal, that is done by the regular cleaning crew.

Yes..exactly.
There is so much wheel spinning here. Waste of time.

We have two housekeepers on staff - they are responsible for cleaning up after meetings.

Is it a large firm/office?

It's not giant - about 20,000 square feet, 80 employees. We have a main boardroom, 2 private showrooms and 6 smaller showrooms that are seperated but in one big room. The housekeeprs clean the restrooms, showrooms, reception area, conference room, owner's & senior manager's offices, vacuum, take out trash, stock pantries, shred documents, etc. I work for an apparel company so they also keep our sample room in order and may be sent on an errand here or there. They would also set up beverage and food service for meetings and clean up the room after.

so you have clients coming in. That makes sense.
I just think that if you use a room you should leave it as you found it. If you write on the white board, erase it..take your documents with you and throw your cups out.
If you make a mess clean it up.
People take chairs out of the conference room too to have meetings randomly elsewhere.

Re: Those with large offices and lots of conference rooms
Depends on the type of meeting.
For client or executive meetings the administration team sets up and cleans up.
For internal day to day meetings the people in the meeting are supposed to handle any necessary clean up. Doesn't always happen...we usually end up wiping the white board and taking down board paper etc. It varies.

I seriously think for the most part maintenance cleans up after all of our events. They set them up as well.

Re: Those with large offices and lots of conference rooms
The individuals who facilitate meetings are responsible for the whiteboards and such for internal meetings. The more senior people like managing directors will have their admins coordinate stuff.
If it's an onsite client meeting we have admins who will set up food/coffee and office services who will bring in chairs or set up the room.
