INTRODUCTION

Employability skills can be defined as that skill set that are must for carrying out the

employment in the best possible manner (Wood, 2008). A better understanding and assessment of

these skills leads to improvement of the overall performance of staff members when they are

within or entering the workplace (Trough, 2011).

The given case is based on a hotel that has got a presence of an underperforming and

demotivated team thereby leading to low levels of customer satisfaction. The previous manager

has not made the use of appraisals, objectives, constructive feedback and ignored problems that

were faced by the employees. Hence, an operational manager has been appointed so as to take

immediate action. These are in terms of turning the team efforts into a positive one followed by

better solutions to problems.

In this respect, the report will focus on the areas of analyzing the responsibilities and

performance objectives of operations manager. It will further led to a discussion about the time

management strategies followed by understanding the concept of team dynamics. Solutions to

work based problem will also be given followed by checking out the successful implementation

and evaluation.

As per the performance objectives that have been set by me, there is a need to carry out a

thorough evaluation of my effectiveness against defined objectives. In this regard, I have often

ensured to carry out my personal assessment through a SWOT analysis. (refer appendix)

As per the given technique, I have found out that I am good in the area of written

communication and time management skills. However, my weakness lies in the area of verbal

communication, planning, management and analytical skills. I have got the opportunity of

motivating the employees as well as improving the overall satisfaction level of consumers.

However, there are some issues in the management of hotel that may not help me in attaining the

help of internet. This will aid me in solving puzzles as well as case studies thereby building up

my analytical areas.

1.3 Recommendations for improvement

Improving pay scale - In order to bring a substantial improvement in all the staff members, I

have thought upon making use of performance appraisals techniques. I have found that there

is decreased motivation level in the employees. This is a requirement as most of the

employees are demotivated on account of absence of any performance appraisals. Hence, I

feel that it can be enhanced by raising the salary levels of employees followed by providing

them performance bonuses. Salary increments are required to be done on the basis of

performance (Lopper, 2007).

Promotion - This is a requirement so as to differentiate between underperforming,

average and exceptional performing employees. Moreover, employees of the company have

been demotivated on account if lack I constructive feedbacks. Here, I feel that the

employees who have been working in the company form a long duration should be given

promotion. This will not only boost their overall motivation level but further led to

satisfaction (Gravells, 2010).

Regular meetings – Some of the employees have reported that there problems have been

ignored. Hence, the need is to carry out weekly meeting sessions so that issues can be

discussed. In case of new employees, I suggest that they are in need of training and

development sessions. Hence, I will ensure to arrange them as and when the necessity is felt

(Dhiman, 2012).




1.4 Motivational techniques can be used to improve quality of performance

Maslow and Herzberg theory can be used in order to bring an improvement the performance of

my employees. As per Maslow theory, motivation of employees can be enhanced by

understanding the level of need of employees (Mc Leod, 2007). For example, as per the case the

team member seem to be demotivated as there is absence of any appraisal methods. Hence, the

need is to focus on psychological need by increasing the pay scale of employees. Monetary

incentive is likely to bring an improvement in overall performance of employees (The Best Ways

to Reward Employees, 2012). This can act as a major boost thereby leading to fulfillment of very

first need of Maslow hierarchy (Knight and Yorke, 2003). Some of the employees are also at the

level of esteem needs where they seek achievement. Hence, here they can give constructive

feedbacks. They can undertake individual sessions followed by praising the efforts of employees.

These are likely to make the employee feel valued (Zepeda, 2011).

In the same way, there can further be an application of Herzberg theory in order to motivate

the employees of hotel. Employees falling in the category of hygiene needs can be motivated by

improving their relationship with supervisors, improving the working condition of hotel, giving

them good appraisals as well as promotions. In the same way, those employees in the category of

true motivators can be motivated by giving them recognition as well as additional

responsibilities.

Goal setting theory can further be used to motivate the employees in present case. The managers

of the hotel are required to identify those employees that have a high level of expectancy

for a valuable reward (The Fuel of High Performance - Motivation theories and action,

2015). The manager must make the employees feel that the reward to be achieved by them

is directly linked with their overall performance. The management of hotel is further

required to demonstrate the employees that meting or even exceeding the set level of

performance can make them gain the rewards. In this way, the hotel management can make

sure that expected performance is being achieved by the employees. Rewarding them for

the same is likely to make them feel motivated.




2.1 Evaluate own current skills and competencies against professional standards

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS (FOOD

AND BEVERAGE MANAGER)

OWN CURRENT SKILLS AND

COMPETENCIES

Presence of effective time management I am able to manage my work effectively as per

the standards set by the management. On self-

reflection, I have found that my skills of time

management are in par with the assistant Food

and Beverage Manager

Provision of training and growth opportunities

to employees

I am unable to provide effective training and

development session to employees on account

of increased work flow. On self-reflection, it

seems clear that the assistant Food and

Beverage Manager has been able to undertake

weekly sessions for the employees. I have not

been able to meet the set standard.

Providing proper guidance to employees I lag in the area of providing proper guidance

to the employees on account of increased job

responsibilities. Food and Beverage Manager

on the other hand has conducted daily meetings

with the employees so as to guide them in the

lacking areas.

Good oral and written communication skills I possess good write communication skills but I

lack in the area of expression. I am required to

work on this aspect so as to be in par with the

communication skills of assistant Food and

Beverage Manager.




TASK 2

2.1 Develop solutions to work based problems

As per the present issues of hotel, I have found an area of concern for the hotel employees.

It is the lack of any grievance handling system for the employees. It has been noticed that there is

an absence of any means by which issues faced by employees are worked upon. This leads to

increased demotivation as well as frustration in employees (Riebe and et al., 2010). It further

affects their overall performance followed by overall productivity of company.

Solution for the given work based problem can be making of a grievance handling cell

where all the issues faced by employees are looked upon. If an effective grievance redressed

system is kept in place then the management of hotel can ensure for an amiable work

environment (Employee Grievance - Effective Ways of Handling Grievance, 2015). This will

occur as the grievance will be redress to making the employees and the managers of hotel

mutually satisfied. It will further aid the employees to express their feelings, discontent and

dissatisfaction in an open and formal manner.

The issues that deserve special attention can be taken to senior management. The

employees can further be informed as soon as there problem has been resolved. Other than this,

individual sessions can also be taken by the management in order to assess the issues faced by

employees. These can be related to work culture, salary, job profile among others (Dealing with

Employee Grievances. 2015).

Other than that, if the grievances are personal in nature then they can be dealt by carrying

out one on one talk with employee and supervisors. A fully fledged discussion and




communication efforts can lead to clearing of many misunderstandings (Savolainen, 2000). If

there is an involvement of more issues, they can be dealt by reaching at a compromising solution

that is beneficial for both the parties.




2.2 Communicate in a variety of styles and appropriate manner at various levels

There is a need that the solutions that have been suggested are presented to the concerned

persons. In present scenario, it is the top level management who can work on setting up a

grievance handling cells and appointing concerned persons for the same. In this respect, the

methods of communication have been suggested that have been described below:

Written communications - In this regard, the work based problem as well as solution can

be dispatched to concerned authorities. It can be done by mail. The online

communications through mails can be edited easily followed by sharing them with the

concerned persons together (Griffin and Annulis, 2013). Paper based technique can also

be used so as to aid towards providing clear and file able solutions. It can further led to

clear statement of discussions in the present scenario.

Oral communications - The management can be informed about the work based issue as

well as solution through a phone call. The concerned authorities can be explained about

the issues (Patrick, 2015). The given technique can work in the area of grievance

handling whereby employees will get a chance to express themselves. It will further led

to provision of solutions to employees in a best possible manner.

Face-to-face communications- This can be the best method of communication by which

authorities can be informed about the underlying work based problem in the hotel

followed by the solutions for same. This is most likely to save time followed by causing a

reduction in unwanted misunderstandings (McNamara, 2015). It can further led to

carrying out of detailed discussions so as to resolve the underlying issues. Face to face

communication is a big necessity so as to handle the grievances. This is as both the

concerned sides will get a chance to express them. Solution to the issues can be resolved

by the end of the meeting.




2.3 Identify your time management strategies

Being an operational manager, I am required to manage by time in the best possible

manner. I thus ensure to make use of varied strategies that are as follows:

Prioritizing workload- I make sure to assign tasks as per the work load. In this regard, in

case of workloads, priority is given to those tasks that are of importance and may take

less time for completion (Hafeez and Aburawi, 2013).

Setting work objectives- I also ensure to set my work based objectives on a daily basis.

For this, I have prepared a work planner in which I write the tasks that are to be

completed. I also set deadlines for the same.

Making and keeping appointments- As an operational manager, I have to deal with many

employees and other members of management on a daily basis. Hence, I ensure to

provide appointments and fix a specified time for every meeting. This helps me to save

the extra hours (Lopper, 2007).

Working steadily rather than erratically- I ensure to work on a steady pace throughout

the day rather than working too much during a particular time period. This steady pace

not only leads to avoidance of errors but also helps me to keep myself relaxed.

Time for learning- I also take out time for learning new skills. This learning especially in

the area of technology helps me to bring a reduction in work load thereby giving me a

chance to save time for extra work (Whelan, 2012).

Task scheduling: In order to complete my work in stipulated time and make free time for

myself I am required to prepare a proper schedule for the same. I will try to stick with the

formulated schedule as much as possible. However, I will also ensure to bring in minor

adjustments in care of emergencies (Chapman and Ruptured, 2015).

Avoid Distractions - I will also try my best to avoid distractions that do not allow me to

focus on big projects. These can be in form of mobile phones, checking social media

sites, reading the latest news online. Even if required then I will set some time for such

activities (Mikoluk, 2013).




TASK 3

3.1 Explain the roles people play in a team and how they can work together to achieve shared

goals

Belbin has defined different roles that are played by the members while working in a team.

Shaper role in the customer service desk can be played by those members who are dynamic and

enjoy challenges. These can play the role of dealing with difficult guests that come to the hotel.

Following are the stated roles of different members of the team who work altogether in an

order to achieve the objectives as follows:



CONTACT US NOW:


Implementer: The role played by those team members who can get things done within a

team. Hence, these members can be appointed as group leaders during heavy guest inflow

(Human Resource Management, 2012).

Completer role: The role can be played by the one who have an eye for details. Hence,

they can deal with those guests like old aged and handicapped one that requires extra

attention (Salas and et.al., 2009).

Coordinator role: It entails for possessing good listening skills. Hence, these employees

can be employed for attending the phone calls of the guests (Boella and Turner, 2012).

Team worker role can be played by those individuals who have an act of keeping the

team united and are supportive to other team members. Here employees can play a major

part in ensuring that the new employees are well accustomed with the work.




Resource investigator role requires the skill of negotiating and networking (Reilly and

Williams, 2012). Hence, these members can maintain coordination with other

departments.

Evaluator: Role player are serious minded and cautious. They can play the role of

dealing with online site of hotel followed by solving the queries of consumes through

mails (Linio and Catherine, 2014).

Specialist Role: It requires workers that have an expert knowledge in the particular area.

Hence, they can be given the tasks as per the overall expertise (Sims, 2002).

Plants role can be played by those employees who are innovative members of the team.

They can thus aid in bringing out innovation in the overall team working.

In order to ensure team work, the team members will be given the roles as per there

characteristics. They will be made to work together in small groups. Group objective for

example, handling 10 consumer queries in one hour will be given so that they work with each

other and complete the specific objective.

3.2 A nalyze team dynamicsTeam dynamics refers to the method adopted to make the group of people to do work. It

is inclusive of developing effective interaction, ability to make decision, addressing management

and leadership style, accessing roles and responsibilities to the members, defining goals to be

achieved and action plans to be implemented. Moreover, it is also significant to consider the

problems and issues that came through the way of doing work. Therefore, team work connects

the very critical element of resolving conflicts, managing work, meeting specification of

objectives, following rules and norms etc. There are various models of team dynamics models.

Given below is a Tuckman's model of team dynamics stated as below:

Figure 1 Stages of team dynamicsTOLL-FREE NO: +44 2038681671 EMAIL: [email protected] NO: +44 7999903324 WEBSITE: www.instantassignmenthelp.com



(Source: Group dynamics group processes, 2015)

Team dynamics is all about the forces that influence the behavior of the members in a team.

In this regard, focus has been given on varied stages of team development that can be used by the

hotel so as to ensure proper team work.

Forming – This is the stage when the team members get together to accomplish the work

of preparing food in F and B department. They get a chance to introduce each other. Here,

a team loader can be appointed in form of experienced chef who can ensure to create a

clear and strong leadership (Hafeez and Aburawi, 2013).

Storming – This stage involves of voicing of individual; differences by members

followed by joining of the ones that are in match with beliefs. The role of head chef is to

voice the views and create consensus among all the members (Shuffler, DiazGranados

and Salas, 2011).

Norming – Here, the team members start sharing a common commitment to purpose of

group which is to prepare food. The head chef that starts deciding over which employees

will make a particular dish and what is the role of other team members (Reilly and

Williams, 2012)..

Performing – Here, all the employees work dedicatedly towards preparing the required

dishes and helping each other in case of difficulties (Lopper, 2007). Here, the head chef

has to play more indirect role as the employees take over stronger participating.

Closing and celebration – At this stage, it is clear that the team work of food preparing

has been achieved.

As per the above mentioned steps, there is a presence of varied factors that may led to

encourage or discourage the team cohesion. For example, if there is a presence of supportive

supervisors then there can be an increase in team cohesion. However, if team members develop

an increased feeling of competition with each other then it is likely ot pout a negative impact on

overall cohesion of team.

3.3 Suggest alternative ways to complete tasks and achieve team goals

There can be use of varied ways by which the employees working in departments of the

hotel can complete the tasks so as to achieve goals of team. But in the ever changing times, it




must be remembered that one approach does not work for all employees no matter how

customized the approach is made.

Coaching – The employees can be coached and mentored as to how team working is to

be carried out. They can be given individual a well group training sessions so as to teach

them the techniques of team working (Linio and Catherine, 2014). For example, coaching

can be given to the team members working in food and beverage department. They can

be guided towards handling cutlery items and how to present themselves in front of the

guests.

Setting direction – The food and beverage department of the hotel requires team work.

Hence, the need for them is to set directions that are to be followed by them. In this

regard, a lead can be appointed who can supervise the activities being carried out by the

team members while preparing the food. A proper process for food preparation should be

set for all the team members. They can be directed towards maintain hygiene while

preparing food.

Effective communication – This can be regarded as a major step towards achievement of

team goals. This will require ensuring towards development of processes so as to

facilitate flow of information within the team. The members are further required to

actively listen to one another. Conflicts are also required to be dealt openly and

constructively (Senécal, Loughead and Bloom, 2008).

Encouraging innovation – task completion and achievement of team goals can occur

when team members are encouraged to adhere with innovative pieces. This will not only

lead to designing of innovative solutions but also aid in creation of ways so as to improve

processes. It will further led to brainstorming sessions. Where employees will get a

chance to suggest new ways of doing things (Achieving Team Goals, 2015). For example,

brainstorming sessions. Can be developed for employees working in finance department.

Complex financial analysis problem can be given to them. This will make then take

innovative steps to sort the problem. The suggestions given by them can be used to

handle the financial issues faced by company on a day to day basis.




Task 4

4.1 Evaluate two tools and methods for developing solutions to problems

The evaluation of two tools and methods for developing a solution to problem is made.

Any problem under hand is required to adhere with following steps so as to get solutions for the

issues. The tools used are namely, problem solving technique and process mapping tool.

1: Problem solving technique: According to this method, following steps are made and any

problem in the organisation is solved by using the following stated points as follows:

Firstly, the need is to define the issue in the best possible manner. The technique in this

regard can be written so as to get the crux of overall issue.

Secondly, analysing the areas in the problem that require immediate attention. This will

aid in identifying the possible outcomes for the problem under study (Reilly and



Defining the issue

analyzing the areas in the

problem

Suggesting suitable solution

assessing of various

alternative


Williams, 2012). The given set should further be followed by identifying and assessing of

various alternative outcomes.

Thirdly, the varied alternatives will help in making choice as to which technique is the

best one. Then the suitable solution for the problem can be identified (Lopper, 2007). For

example, if the issue is related to lack of employee motivation then the need is to analyse

what has led to a decreased motivation in sales team. This will aid to assess the exact

problem that needs to be given attention.

Lastly, there comes revising the possible steps to be chosen for identifying and assessing

of various alternative outcomes. These can be by providing monetary benefits for extra

sales that have been done. It can also include for giving free lunches to the best

performing sales employee. The varied alternatives will help in making choice as to

which technique is the best one.

Advantages

The organisation faces ample of issues which ranges from simple to complicated. With

the help of this tool, an ability to make effective use of problems in the future is

beneficial.

It act as a assistance and aid tool for getting work in an organisation.

It helps to bind together full experience of real world and past learning experiences.

It enhances coordination and participation.

Disadvantages

It is limited as it fails to make appropriate use of the algorithms.




It includes blocks after every intervals that makes difficult for the people in developing

solutions (Linio and Catherine, 2014).

The process is time consuming and may delay in obtaining the final results.

2: Process mapping tool: By collecting data on the area where the problem is detected in an

organisation, “dynamic” model is constructed.

In this process, picture of the activities takes place. This is helpful communication tool

that help in improving teams and identify opportunities for improvement. ICOR (inputs, outputs,

controls and resources) is an internationally accepted process analysis methodology for process

mapping. It is for processes so that they could be broken down into simplex and administrable

units. The maps are inclusive of the inputs, outputs, controls and resources for both the high level

process and the sub-processes in an order to solve the problems.

Advantages



Illustration 1: Process Mapping tool for solving problem


It helps to recognizes the ineffective and inefficient work or operations in the

organisation.

It provides easy and appropriate achievement of work.

It is advantageous as it benefits the organisation in creating visual process depiction.

It offers excellent training to the employees and clients (Jones, 2015).

It is beneficial as it carries the ability to identify the implementing best of practices.

Disadvantages

There is need to collect data which should be accurate as statistically weak collection

leads to affect the processing.

While using data for small groups, process maps may not represent whole process.

While sending the data for the verification, time consumed is very much. Therefore,

accurate process mapping may got affected.

It becomes more challenging for the management to motivate and encourage employees

for obtaining accurate data.

4.2 Develop an appropriate strategy for resolving a particular problemIn order to meet the solutions to any set of problems there is need to define the problem

which is under study. In the hotel, the present issue is lack of communication within

departments. Hence, the nature of problem is related to communication. The next step is to assess

the problem so as to analyze the techniques that can be used to solve the issues (Linio and

Catherine, 2014). On further analysing, it is found that the lack of communication was on

account of increased work lost that was present on the employees. This led to less discussions

and meet up sessions. The lack of communication further led to issues if terms of less

coordination and increased grievances in between inter departmental employees. Hence, the

problem was assessed further so as to suggest various alternative outcomes (Hafeez and

Aburawi, 2013). The outcomes revealed were as follows. It has been decided that a monthly

outing will be kept for all the employees of the hotel. There will further some of the team

activities so as to increase team spirit as well as enhance the coordination in the hotel employees

who are working in varied departments (Reilly and Williams, 2012). It will further help the

management to assess the hidden skills that are present in the employees. Other than that,

monthly meeting can be conducted with the head of the varied departments. This will assist in




finding out the issues that are faced in terms of coordination. A mutual solution can be arrived

that can assist in maintenance of effective team efforts (Lopper, 2007). In this regard, a time

scale can be set for solving out the communication issue. The time line in present case can be six

months. The resources for the same can further be identified.




4.3 Evaluate the potential impact on the business of implementing the strategy

Evaluation of the potential impact on the business of implementing the strategy is

required to be assessed. As discussed above the employees of the organisation were decided to be

taken for monthly outing. Wit the help of activities that are planned, the employees will be

prepared for working in team. It helps in gaining coordination and participation in them. With the

help of engaging them in using of problem solving techniques, they would be developed to use

tricks for solving simple issues (Haynes, 2012). Time management skills are the most significant

aspect. With the help of targets, the potential impact can be seen in time management of every

individual employee of the organisation. However, it may depends on one person to another on

undertaking things and learning. There is possibility that may affect the work of every individual

because of other factors which are essentially and equally required. They are perception, attitude,

behaviour etc.

It is further required to be evaluated as to what has been the possible impact on the

business when the problem solving strategy was implemented. The evaluation is to be carried out

if the inter departmental communication issue that was going on within the hotel was solved or

not. It can be checked by measuring the overall satisfaction level of the consumers (Linio and

Catherine, 2014). It acts as an indirect indicator but is helpful one. Other than this, it is further

required to be checked by carrying out disguising with the departmental heads as well as the

team leads (Hafeez and Aburawi, 2013).

If the head of department have seen a reduction in the grievances and increase in

coordination of affairs then it clear that communication is on for front. It is because if the issues

that are encountered are solved and employees started working on their own, then they are

required to be appreciated. It is a strategy which motivates and encourages the employees to

move towards better performance of work. This may also help in increasing the possibility of

exploring themselves in front of senior staff (Shuffler, DiazGranados and Salas, 2011). It,

therefore, helps in developing their communication skills and abilities. Strategy implementation

may further led to development of a better understanding and assessment about what is expected

from the employees. It may further led to improvement of the overall performance of staff

members when they are within or entering the workplace. There is also a chance that employees

may be motivated further so as to give in best performance. It will also lead to generation of staff




loyalty as they will have a feeling that there issues are being heard and worked upon by the

management. Following are the positive impacts of implementing the strategy in an organization

and are stated as follows:

Retaining top talent and enhance employee satisfaction is considered to be positive

impact of implementing change. When the organization undertake any change, the

objective lies in making it acceptable with the employees as they are the one who bring

action plans to achieve them.

Generates competitive advantage is the another benefit. It is the aim of strategy as by

defining effective objectives by suing appropriate strategies, employee will be developed

to work with competitive spirit. This would be helpful to them to make use of best of

commutation style for gaining greater customer base (Linio and Catherine, 2014).

Motivating staff to perform better is the advantage where the employees are prepared to

perform better in an order to achieve the objectives of strategy.

Increases participation of employees is another merit which is achieved when the

employees work together to achieve the success outcome for strategy formulation.

Development of skills and ability of the staff is the resultant which comes from the

strategy planning and implementation.

Following are the negative impacts of implementing the strategy in an organization and

are stated as follows:

Passive behaviour of employees is the factor which is observed when the impact of

strategy may not be acceptable by the employees. This may affect the mode of interaction

among the employees at work.

Timely process is the de-merit which affect the organisation in a way when the procedure

to address the outcomes becomes lengthy and difficult (Layer, 2004).

De-motivates personnel is the another impact when the strategy is formulated. It thereby,

leads to lack of communication with each other.

Ineffective work performance is also the impact which came when the work is affected. It

hinders the communication when the employees become selfish and greedy (Hafeez and

Aburawi, 2013).




Development of negative relationships among the business employees when while

working with the achievement of strategy. This is generally observed as people who are

more effective in communication, develops a kind of superior feeling in themselves. In an

order to show them up, they do not support other employees and therefore develops

negative relationships.

CONCLUSION Employability skills are that area within an organization that focuses on management of

people; provision of direction etc. for better running and growth of the organization. From the

above study, it can be concluded that in order to manage the issues faced by hotel, there is need

to set up some performance objectives on the basis of which improvements can be made. This

should be followed by understanding the work based problems being faced by the team members

who were involved in the area of lack of grievance handling. The solutions should further be sent

to management by making use of varied communication methods. These are related to oral,

written as well as online communication. Operations manager further worked on the area of team

dynamics followed by understanding the issues faced and providing solutions for the same. The

solutions were further evaluated so as to check as whether the technique used for problem

solving was successful or not.
