1 - OBJECTIVES/GOALS The items in yellow are compulsory, the other ones to be adjusted between HM/GMs and Area/Regional Managers before review and approval of Mr. Alaa
2 - STANDARDS IMPLEMENTATION For a Hotel Managing Company, the standards are (after our employees) the second most important assets. If we use them as we have worked them all together out, we will permanently adjust them to the market and so adjust/improve our operation. Not everywhere are the standards reaching our employees and even the Dep. Heads. The GMs is responsible to forward it to the Dep. Heads and the Department Heads to his Supervisor and Employees. Make sure that standards are a part of an handover to a new Hired Dep. Head The standard implementation sheet is for you to review the progress of the operational departments on the standards as they are described and not as the Department Head interpret them
