3. WORK FORCE: STAFF
MANAGMENT
Recruiting, training, and managing a team of employees is a
massive operation for medium- to large-scale organizations
such as hotel groups, chains, or even larger business owners
Turnover may be as high as 70%, but your company can face
this issue effectively by adhering to best practices and
making a determined effort to improve how you handle this
area of your organization
4. STRATEGIES FOR
ATTRACTING QUALIFIED
APPLICANTS
Make the job description, expectations and remuneration as
explicit and straightforward as possible. Prioritise applicants with
"people skills" above everything else, because personality is
essential when interacting with visitors. Post your job postings in
locations where the proper individuals will see them, such as hotel
employment sites
Don't be general - tailor your pitch to specific positions. Consider
this example from a hotel in Hawaii. Ask the proper questions and
pay close attention to how an applicant responds. You should get
a rough sense of their personality, which will help you make
decisions. The experience will also help you understand how they
think and act

8. WHAT DOES EFFECTIVE STAFF MANAGEMENT
ENTAIL?
Many people are natural managers, but even those who aren't will frequently find themselves
in positions of administration. With some effort and practise, anyone can become an
effective people manager
To accomplish the intended results, successful staff management requires matching their
requirements with the needs of the firm. The day-to-day complexities of this may get
extremely sophisticated, which is why you must be well prepared to be a great manager or
leader
Often, you must be extremely honest with yourself about your strengths and flaws, and you
must maintain your cool in every encounter you have with your team, especially during
difficult moments
9. Keep your door wide open - It's critical that you're approachable
and that employees feel they cancome to you withinquiries or for
assistance
Be explicit - Whenyour employees have clarity, they will
performmuchbetter. If there is a problemwithcustomer
service,for example, be clear about what needs to be
improved so that all employees canhandle the problem head-
on
Don't micromanage —This is a no-brainer, but it's still necessary.
When you delegate duties to employees, you must have faithin
their capacity to do them
Accept accountability - When something goes wrong, it's simple
to cast the finger at someone else, but a leader must also be
humble enough to realize when they have failed to meet
expectations
Be accessible to assist in any way you can, but don't
follow their every step
Encourage a team atmosphere - It is usually more
enjoyable to achieve and celebrate with people by your
side, so make sure that any victories you have are shared
withthe entire team
Provide individual guidance - As a team, you must all be
onthe same page,but eachindividual will have their own
personality and specialised position, so you must
communicate onthis level to get the most out of everyone
Measure and communicate outcomes - Noone wants to
labor in the dark, not knowing whether their efforts are
having an impact. Share outcomes on a regular basis
and let staff know how muchyouvalue their efforts
10. HOW TO MOTIVATE YOUR HOTEL
STAFF
Provide abundant opportunity for employees to upskill, learn, and gain diverse experience
Provide employees with frequent access to a variety of development options such as
courses, webinars, podcasts, workshops, and so on
Set aside time to recognise your employees' accomplishments on a regular basis, even if
there are no major milestones to celebrate - typically, the toughest work is done when
circumstances are rough
As employees gain experience, offer them greater responsibility and trust, so they can be
proud of their advancement
When your workers need or seek assistance, be helpful and flexible - everyone has a life
outside of work
11. So, to summarise, these are the greatest
ways for keeping employees at your hotel:
1.MAKE AN EFFORT TO HIRE CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE
2. INVEST SUFFICIENT RESOURCES IN PREPARING YOUR EMPLOYEES FOR SUCCESS
3. PROVIDE EXTENSIVE TRAINING TO YOUR EMPLOYEES
4. PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR EMPLOYEES TO LEARN, PROGRESS, AND UPSKILL.
5. LEARN HOW TO BE A GREAT PEOPLE LEADER
6. GET YOUR TEAM ON BOARD WITH YOUR BRAND'S OVERARCHING OBJECTIVE
7. RECOGNIZE, APPRECIATE, AND APPLAUD YOUR WORKERS' CONTRIBUTIONS
8. CONSTANTLY SEEK FOR METHODS TO KEEP EMPLOYEES ENGAGED
9. HAVE FAITH IN YOUR EMPLOYEES AND DISTRIBUTE DUTIES
10.BE FRIENDLY, AVAILABLE, AND ADAPTABLE IN ORDER TO KEEP YOUR EMPLOYEES SATISFIED

labor costs such as employee pay, overhead,
equipment, and technology.

AND HUMAN
RESOURCES
Hotels that continuously
provide a great visitor
experience have one thing in
common: an excellent staff.
One of your most important
jobs as a hotel manager is to
nurture a workforce that
genuinely cares about its
visitors. And that
necessitates a genuine
concern for their well-being
on your part. that's why
business owners always

and employee wellness,
productivity, and
management to help you

Stress is a bad thing.
Employees who are under a

performance reports to file
in an industry with a high
turnover rate. It's a
profession that may be
incredibly demanding! With
the correct technology,
though, the task might even
be entertaining. that's why
picking HR staff is one of the
trickiest and most sensitive
processes in the hospitality
industry.
25. MARRIOTTHACK
Hotel hacking is a popular target for hackers since hotels store a lot of personal
details, such as credit cards and locations. A recent data breach at Marriott has
brought the industry's cyber security standards to the forefront. That's why
businesses should always keep their systems secure and learn from mistakes made
by others.

Hotel operators are investing in systems and
technologies that can personalize the experience
when they invest in digital apps for
check-ins, room service, and other customer-
oriented digital interactions
This technology is also suitable for hotel self-
check-ins.
NFC technology may be used to personalize a
guest's experience at a hotel or resort, in addition
to payments and making it easier to get access to
hotel rooms.
Some hotels are already providing more futuristic
experiences, such as robots bringing room service
orders to guests' doors. Rather than posting a 'DND'
sign on doors or having cleaning staff wake up
traveling guests with knocks and phone calls, hotel
personnel may use infrared scanners to detect body
heat within a room and inform cleaning workers
that they should return later if the room is currently
inhabited.
Data provides insight into

Chemicals are used
significantly more frequently in
the housekeeping sector than
in workplaces or houses. The
housekeeping department
must choose the least
damaging cleaning products
while acquiring them. If
harmful cleaning chemicals are
utilized in hotels, the water run-
off might damage water
supplies.
U S E C H E M IC A LS
S A F E LY
Harmful chemical exposure can
have a negative impact,
especially on housekeeping
staff, and should be minimized
as much as possible. When
dealing with strong chemicals,
employees must be equipped
with appropriate safety
equipment, such as safety
goggles and gloves.
C LE A N GRE E N
The housekeeping crew must
maintain a high level of
cleanliness, which includes
making sure all surfaces are clean
and pristine on a regular basis.
Chemical-based fungicides, for
example, can have an influence
on local insect populations,
including bees, and certain
cleaning products can emit
poisonous fumes or damage
cleaning employees if handled
incorrectly.
