Synopsis

In many hospitality establishments, one manager or supervisor is the entire human resources department, making all the hiring and training decisions, often without having a formal human resources background. Filling this knowledge gap, Hospitality Employee Management and Supervision provides both busy professionals and students with a one-stop comprehensive guide to human resources in the hospitality industry.

Rather than taking a theoretical approach, this text provides a hands-on, practical, and applications-based approach. The coverage is divided into four sections: legal considerations, employee selection, employee orientation and training, and communication and motivation.

Each chapter in this lively and engaging text features:

• Quotations----Various practitioners in the hospitality industry highlight the chapter's focus
• Chapter Objectives and Summaries lay out key concepts and then, at the end of each chapter, review them
• HRM in Action features highlight real-world HRM experiences that relate to the content presented in each chapter
• Tales from the Field----Hospitality employees provide accounts of the various challenges they face in the industry
• Ethical Dilemmas----Scenarios from the hospitality industry which emphasize the role ethics plays in every aspect of the hospitality industry
• Practice Quizzes and Chapter Review Questions reinforce student comprehension of key concepts
• Hands-On HRM----Mini-cases based on real-world situations with discussion questions
• Chapter Key Terms----Bolded within the chapter and then listed at the end of each chapter with definitions.
