Editor's Notes
- #5 One family staying at the Ritz-Carlton, Bali, had carried specialized eggs and milk for their son who suffered from food allergies. Upon arrival, they saw that the eggs had broken and the milk had soured. The Ritz-Carlton manager and dining staff searched the town but could not find the appropriate items. But the executive chef at this particular resort remembered a store in Singapore that sold them. He contacted his mother-in-law, and asked that she buy the products and fly to Bali to deliver them, which she agreed to do. Of course the family was delighted. Carmine herself has observed a lineup. And this is what she has to say: Two 15-minute lineups across 61 hotels, 365 days a year. The hotel is literally offering thousands of hours of training to its employees. No amount of training would be effective, however, without making an emotional and memorable connection with the trainees. Sharing cultural stories is the best way to do it. The Ritz-Carlton does this each day.
- #8 Do you know what your staff turnover is? Have you ever walked into a shop or restaurant where it is clear that the staff are demotivated? What was your experience?
- #14 Higher order needs – internal Lower order needs – external Lower paid workers are likely to be more focused on lower order needs BUT union members will go out on sympathy strike so the hierarchy does not always hold.
- #15 Two Factor Theory or Motivation – Hygiene Theory.
- #16 Removing dissatisfying characteristics does not necessarily make the job satisfying (placate rather than motivate) therefore a dual continuum. No overall measure of satisfaction – one could dislike part of the job and still be satisfied.
