Hotel Team Experiences Now Require a Tech Rethink

Adam and Larry Mogelonsky | May 31, 2023

By Adam and Larry Mogelonsky If you’re reading this, it means you likely use your computer for work. Most of us do these days. But have you ever given any thought to how often you switch screens each day? And on that note, when you equate this screen switching with how our ancestral brains were evolutionarily designed to process the environment, do you think all this may induce more than a bit of unwanted stress in your life? The statistic that best encapsulates this comes from a study published in 2019 by the University of California, Irvine, which found that the average office worker switches between different screens or tasks 566 t...

Train Your Hospitality Staff to Elicit Kama Muta (Commonly Called That “Warm, Fuzzy” Feeling)

Doug Kennedy | May 11, 2023

By Doug Kennedy It’s something that virtually all humans have experienced in our lives, especially those who work in guest-facing jobs in the hospitality industry when we make an authentic, personalized, and heartfelt connection with another human. For me, it seems to happen more often with strangers, rather than with loved ones we routinely see. It is a mutually experienced feeling, felt across cultures, nationalities and languages. There is even a common gesture that humans around the globe use when the feeling arises, which is raising the right hand and placing it over the heart. Recently while preparing for a conference keynote...

Five Steps to Acknowledging a Compliment

Shep Hyken | May 4, 2023

By Shep Hyken My very funny friend, Tim Gard, who also happens to be a wonderful keynote speaker, had a great question: “Doesn’t anyone know how to take a compliment?”    My response was, “Don’t most people say, ‘Thank you’?”  Apparently not. Tim said he observed some friendly behavior from the TSA agents in the security line at his local airport in Portland, Oregon. He decided to compliment the supervisor, who appeared to be confused by the praise. The supervisor asked, “Do you want me to file a complaint?”   Tim emphasized this was a compliment, not a complaint, and walked away, shaking his head and th...

How Gen Z Work Ethic and Attitudes Are Impacting the Workplace

EHL Insights | May 2, 2023

Horizontal working modes typically imply, for example, that employees from department “A” be given regular opportunities to collaborate on cross-functional projects with employees from departments "B", “C", "D”, or “Z." You name them. When these cross-functional collaborations multiply throughout/across the organization, here is what you get in the short term: the sharing of new ideas, knowledge, and best practices. In the medium term, these cross-silo collaborations may even shape employees’ career development paths—that is, by helping them develop a wider panel of skills and expertise. When this happens, your organization s...

Overcome Hotel Turnover and Improve Morale With Better Shift Coordination

Cristian Grossmann | April 27, 2023

By Cris Grossmann, CEO and co-founder of Beekeeper Hotel managers have a thorny challenge to solve: they must ensure exceptional guest service, while dealing with staff scheduling challenges and punishing turnover. While other service businesses like restaurants and retail stores close after business hours, hotels are always open. That means managers need to schedule staff around the clock, ensure adequate coverage during peak hours and seasons, and accommodate staff requests for time off. That’s increasingly a difficult task as worker departures soar; in January 2023 alone, 5.4% of all accommodation and food service workers quit their j...

Engaged Employees Lead to Engaged Guests

Adria Levtchenko | April 26, 2023

By Adria Levtchenko With the right tools and strategies in place, hotels can deliver exceptional service and exceed guest expectations while also fostering a happy and engaged workforce There is no question that hotel operations have been one of the greatest casualties of the persistent labor shortage continuing to impact businesses everywhere. Not only are many of today’s hotel workers overwhelmed by daily operations, but many are also not engaged with their properties beyond the surface level. When your hotel’s workers don’t have a connection to the property, it reflects negatively on the guest experience. Hotel workers are ...

How to Stop the Culture of Fear and Bullying in the Hospitality Industry

Ian Scarth FIH | April 17, 2023

According to the dictionary, 'Bullying' is defined as “Seeking to harm, intimidate, or coerce someone perceived as vulnerable”, while ACAS define it as “offensive, intimidating, malicious or insulting behaviour, an abuse or misuse of power through means that undermine, humiliate, denigrate or injure the recipient.” The same dictionary suggests Hospitality is “The friendly, graceful, and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.” Anyone reading these definitions must surely conclude that it's impossible to be hospitable if at the same time one is a bully. Yet the hospitality industry appears to h...

Singleton Employees in the Hotel Industry

PolyU’s School of Hotel and Tourism Management | March 29, 2023

Many organisations take pride in their ability to offer a rich variety of supportive programmes for employees with families. However, the growing number of single childless people in the workforce, especially members of Generations Y and Z, rarely benefit from equivalent perks or policies. Does the hospitality industry care about single childless employees? Curious as to whether organisational support can benefit hotels and their employees, Dr Xiaolin (Crystal) Shi of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University and her co-author quizzed hotel employees in China about their experiences. The fruits ...
