Recommendations
Creating a space where you and your employees can produce excellent work and perform to the best of your abilities is no easy task, but with the right strategies, you can make it work. Employee performance management is one of the most important management tools that influence employee growth and organizational development significantly. It is particularly difficult in today's highly regulated business environment with changing employee attitudes. But, in the hospitality industry, squeezing out the very best performance from employees can dramatically impact guest satisfaction and ultimate profitability. In the case of Mayo Hotel, the hotel must strengthen its performance appraisal systems in order to enhance the accuracy of the rating systems. The fact that the company implemented the supervisor raters within the Mayo Hotel illustrates the desire to ensure that there is seamless service delivery when handling clients.
Another recommendation is ensuring that the hotel must empower the current workers by ensuring that they have proper and updated knowledge on management based on the changes in the business environment. Since the supervisors are chosen based on their experience, it equally essential to train them on the current challenges in the hospitality industry. This will ensure that they have the right skills to evaluate others and develop proper solutions to the existing problems in the market. Based on the findings, giving supervisors the responsibility of rating others still needs to be complemented with other developments in the human resource management.
