STAFF TRAINING & MANUALS

BESPOKE HOME ORGANISATION TRAINING & MANUALS FOR PRIVATE STAFF

At Ankersen Drake, we believe that the smooth running of a household depends on attention to detail, consistency, and confident day-to-day care. Whether you want to streamline daily operations or ensure your team can confidently maintain high standards, we offer detailed, hands-on training tailored to your specific household, complemented by bespoke staff manuals when additional guidance is desired.

WE OFFER TRAINING IN:

HOME ORGANISATION

Teaching your household staff to develop a keen eye for detail while maintaining and evolving organisational systems throughout the home.

WARDROBE MAINTENANCE

Equipping your staff with expert clothing care knowledge and wardrobe management skills, from seasonal changeovers and packing to maintaining tidy, functional systems with attention to detail.

DAILY SYSTEMS MAINTENANCE

Training staff to uphold key household systems, including pantry backstock and decanting processes, labelling and stock rotation, fridge and dry goods organisation, laundry upkeep, and other daily routines that ensure a smoothly run residence.

Our Staff Training Service is designed to equip your private staff with the skills to maintain a space that is organised, functional, and visually refined. Every element of our training is tailored to your specific household needs, ensuring a highly personalised, efficient, and effective approach.

As part of this service, we offer four weeks of complementary follow-up support via text message, providing quick answers to any questions your staff may have.

STAFF MANUALS

We can create bespoke staff manuals designed to support your team in upholding the highest standards of household care and presentation. These manuals can vary in detail depending on your needs, and may include:

  • A searchable guide to the location of household items for easy access and efficient management.

  • Detailed explanations of the organisational systems in place, along with clear steps for staff to follow in order to maintain them to the highest standard.

  • Clear instructions on how to care for clothing, including folding or hanging guidelines, ensuring everything is kept in pristine condition.

  • Example photos showing how things should be arranged or appear, providing clear visual references for staff.

  • Information on how to label items, with specifics on what should be labelled and how it should be done to maintain consistency.

  • Instructions for seasonal transitions, such as rotating wardrobe contents, changing table linens, or preparing the home for festive periods, with specific guidance on where to find and how to implement these items.

A well-trained team is key to a flawless home. Let us help set the standard.

OUR PROCESS

  • 1. CONSULTATION & ASSESSMENT

    We start with a complimentary virtual consultation to define your priorities and the type of guidance best suited to your household staff. Taking this into account, alongside your budget, we will then devise a quote for you. Once you have confirmed you are ready to move forward, we will get started on your Customised Training Plan.

  • 2. CUSTOMISED TRAINING PLAN

    Following the consultation, we create a bespoke training plan tailored to the priorities you’ve outlined - whether that’s wardrobe care, pantry upkeep, labelling processes, or maintaining household systems with precision and consistency. Once your plan is ready, we will email it to you for review and are happy to make any adjustments based on your feedback. Should you prefer a more in-depth discussion, we can arrange a meeting to talk through your notes. Once you are happy with the plan, we will schedule your training session.

  • 3. ON-SITE TRAINING

    On the day, we deliver hands-on training with your staff, providing clear instructions, practical demonstrations, and useful tips. We ensure they are confident in carrying out daily tasks to your standards, maintaining systems correctly, and preserving the overall order and presentation of your home. Our approach is supportive and practical, allowing your team to ask questions, build confidence, and fully understand how to implement what they’ve learned.

  • 4. STAFF MANUAL CREATION (OPTIONAL)

    We’ll develop a custom staff manual that aligns with the training. This can include anything from detailed garment care instructions to item location directories, ensuring your staff can maintain the highest standard of organisation at all times.

  • 5. ONGOING SUPPORT

    To ensure a seamless transition, we offer four weeks of complementary follow-up support via text message, providing your staff with ongoing guidance as they begin implementing the training within your household.
