Motivating Employees Improving the Hotel industry By Kellye Brown
Problem: Solution: • Dissatisfied workers in the hotel industry. • Provide workers with more incentives and reward programs.
Nature of Work Manager • Main work objective -Keep the hotel running efficiently, oversee different departments, and ensure the guests happiness. • Hours -Managers in the hotel industry can expect to work long hours and many nights and weekends.
Nature of Work Workers • Hours -Long hours. -Work is unappreciated. • Work -Work may be extremely repetitive and may often feel underappreciated.
Principles of Management • Define objective - Improve employee relations by clearly detailing and explaining what their objective is for working with the company. • Accept responsibility - It is the duty of the administration and the manager to accept responsibility for the lack of employee satisfaction.
Principles of Management • As a manager I need to find out why my employees are dissatisfied with their job and are unhappy. • The employees job satisfaction has a direct link to their work and ultimately the consumers happiness.
Who Moved my Cheese • Scurry: was always motivated to keep going and never getting to comfortable • We need managers who are willing to accept change and be able to move forward and who can also motivate their team. • Haw: knew that he needed to change, but wasn’t comfortable with the change • At times it may be hard to change, but managers need to be able to detect problems and fix them quickly.
Why Add Incentive • Hotel workers often work repetitive jobs and feel underappreciated. • Adding rewards that make the individual appreciated would have tremendous effect on the work output. • No matter how simple the job, everybody likes to be appreciated.
Graph Explained. • I developed this graph because I believe that rewarding employees would lead to higher job satisfaction and therefore happier employees.
Impact on Industry • Happier employees would translate into better service and thereby happier guests. • Happy guest give good reviews and are likely to stay in your chain of hotels again resulting in higher revenues.
