What
tactics might address the problem you have identified?
Jonathan feels the fundamental issue at Ocean Edge Hotel is poor communication between
Human Resources (HR) and operational management. This reveals itself in a number of
difficulties, including inadequate job applications, poor employee indoctrination, a lack of HR
participation in training, and excessive policy issuance. To tackle these challenges, Jonathan
offers a diverse strategy:
1. Improved recruiting procedure.
• Clarify work criteria. Collaborate with HR to generate suitable job descriptions.
• Encourage management engagement in the screening process to ensure applicants correspond
with operational requirements and hotel culture.
2. Comprehensive Orientation Program:
• Customized Sessions: Create orientation programs depending on departmental needs and
management input.
• Mentorship programs link new workers with experienced colleagues to assist them acclimate to
their new jobs.
3. Collaborative Training Development:
• Joint Initiatives: Create training programs in partnership with HR and operational management.
• Provide constant professional development opportunities to increase skills and competence.
4. Policy Management:
• Collaborate with managers to establish policies that are practical and relevant.
• Establish clear communication channels and explain policy justifications for wider adoption.
5. Fostering a Cooperative Culture:
• Schedule regular meetings between HR and operational divisions to foster understanding and
collaboration.
• Encourage managers and workers to offer comments on HR practices to foster continual progress.
Implementing these principles seeks to transform the dynamic between HR and operational management
from antagonistic to cooperative, hence boosting internal operations and the passenger experience via
well-trained and aligned people.
