Personnel


  1. Staff Recruitment

    Engage the personnel for the brand operation, varying the requirements based on the efficient and effective operation of the brand and Location.

    Determining the terms of employment, levels of remuneration, benefits and working conditions of personnel in line with industry standards and the financial budget for the brand.

  2. Training Programmes

    The development and implementation of training programmes geared towards staff retention, productivity and the implementation of new procedures.

    This would ensure individual growth and internal promotion aimed at the long-term development of superior human resources within the operation.

  3. Personnel Records

    Maintenance of personnel files and records for all personnel to ensure that conditions of employment are fulfilled in accordance with local legislation and codes of practice.

    Monitoring and appraising employee’s ability and performance in all aspects of their work.

  4. Interim Manager Services

    In the course of normal business, the higher layers of management may become indispensable even for short periods of time. And in the Hospitality and Retail industry today, industry best-practice may not allow for enough additional resources to cover necessary breaks in the yearly calendar such as annual leave. Emergencies such as bereavements or personal injury or sickness can devastate a business – particularly in extremely competitive markets and in remote locations.

  5. Physical Facility Reviews/Audits

    There are three aspects to physical assets or facility ‘hardware’;

    • Original design layout and space allocation, flow of traffic and selection of finishes
    • Maintenance of the hardware over time – including preventive maintenance
    • Expansion or remodeling requirements to respond to current market requirements

    Reviewing and analyzing these in the context of each other can produce a facilities road map that can help to keep the facilities current.
    Such an audit can also assist in avoiding sudden requirements for capital injections that can cripple the business. An assessment of capital replacement reserve status and additional funds to be set aside relieves pressure and anxiety on management – leaving the staff to focus on service delivery standards.

  6. Management Reviews/Audits

    To maintain high standards, it is often useful to have an independent review of current management practices. This ensures that industry benchmarks are being maintained but it can also be a way of introducing new contemporary ideas and policies etc. to a business.
    A planned and assisted Management Review is a constructive way for the management team to self-evaluate and set short-term and medium-term goals – for their department and for themselves personally.

    This should be a two-way procedure where the management staff also makes known their expectations from the employer and for their career.

    Another alternative is to engage a ‘unidentified shopper’ to experience and study the facilities and services on hand and produce a report and plan for remedial action together with targets and milestones on a timetable.

  7. Systems & Standards Reviews

    Whereas the bricks and mortar, fixtures fittings and equipment of a leisure facility are very important in allowing the best facilities and services to be consistently delivered to the user, the ‘hardware’ only goes so far. The systems and standards, policies and standard operating procedures, can differentiate two facilities with the same hardware. The ‘firmware’ can be altered and improved with very little or no investment or capital expenditure. And yet the difference perceived by the user can be remarkable.

  8. Staff Audit and Appraisals

    In the same way that the ‘hardware’ and “firmware’ play their relative part in the service delivery process, the ‘software’ investment is not only the most crucial – it is by far the most difficult to get right – particularly in countries where the standards of hospitality are not so mature.
