Human capital plan

Services are offered by people. You have become the managers of an organization, and with it came the premises, the market position, the processes, the network and the people. All elements should be adjusted to each other in order to keep the ‘engine running smoothly’. Even though automation and technology are increasingly making their mark on the hospitality industry, good people management is key.

Situation

Without proper development, your employees will not be able to perform optimally, nor will they get fulfilment in their jobs or get to work on their personal careers. The inventory of what is going on with your human capital needs some thorough scrutiny. How are your employees hired, instructed, motivated, coached and evaluated? Is it all in line with and consistent to your hotel operational strategy? What elements may be missing? What type of leadership best suit your hotel?

Goal

Create an inventory of employees, functions, positions and draw up an organization chart of the business. Make an analysis of the ‘engine’ of your hotel. Based on your insights, draft a plan that should attract, retain and train your current and future employees. Take a wide array of effects into consideration. How does your plan influence the quality of your service, your profitability, sustainability, your brand, in short; the way you run your business?
