Foremen should not only master certain business knowledge and operational skills, but also have a certain theoretical basis of management. Many foremen put the degree and standard of a certain job in the first place when training their subordinates, but why do they do this? Or what should be avoided? All talk and no practice, mediocre training and low morale of employees participating in training are all manifestations of lack of basic theoretical literacy, which should be made up by efforts. Now is the information age, with new knowledge, new technology, new concepts and new theories emerging one after another. If you don't keep pace with the times and study hard, you may fall behind, especially those older "old" foremen, who can't just stick to their roots. Moreover, the customers we are facing now are more knowledgeable, more demanding, more rational in consumption, more critical and more difficult to serve "God". The foreman in charge of the front line must be good at grasping the new situation and constantly studying the new needs of customers, so as to lead employees to continuously carry out service innovation.
Some employees said, "There is still a very practical question. Does the foreman want to cooperate with his subordinates?"? Because some foremen think: "In-class inspection is busy enough, how can we have time to work with employees?" In fact, the foreman can squeeze out some time to lead the staff, especially when the service work is urgent, which can motivate the staff. At the same time, some problems can be found in the process of working together, which is conducive to improving supervision and management. A foreman who only talks but doesn't do it, or only scolds his subordinates, can hardly establish real prestige in front of his subordinates. 2, the modern hotel foreman should be fair and just, don't engage in intimacy. Some employees think: "Although the position of foreman is small, it is the most direct boss for employees. If the relationship is not good,' little shoes' may be enough for you to wear! " Their desire for the foreman is the same: strict but not afraid, as long as the case is handled impartially and not "judge a person by his appearance", everyone will be convinced psychologically.
Usually, employees have two major opinions about the foreman, one is unreasonable work distribution, and the other is unfair handling of problems. One day, a hotel room cleaner complained to me: "Today, the foreman assigned me to clean 13 rooms, and some employees did much less than me." I tried my best to clean it for a long time, but when the head waiter checked the room, he caught some small problems in my cleaning and punished me for doing it again. I was really unconvinced at the time. "
It is difficult to determine whether employees' psychological dissatisfaction is justified according to the above concerns. However, the author believes that if the foreman makes clear the work tasks and division of labor (including employees who need to be taken care of), that is, the work arrangement is as transparent as possible and the workload distribution is generally reasonable, I think most employees can be reasonable. For various reasons, the cleaning progress of each employee will be different. At the end of the work, the foreman will properly coordinate and organize employees to help each other, reflecting the spirit of unity and mutual assistance within the team, and employees who are behind in cleaning will also be encouraged and educated. As for the foreman's persistence in some small problems during rounds, we must be sure that "strictness" is right, but "strictness" should be measured and "strictness" should pay attention to methods. Pay close attention to important issues, especially those that may cause customer complaints, and deal with them seriously. It is said that the quality inspector of a hotel spent more than 40 minutes checking a room and found out more than 10 problems, such as a little floating ash on the carpet in the corner, a little water on the purified water tray, a little short hair on the bathroom floor and a penalty slip. Similar to this treatment, the employees involved may not be convinced, and it is difficult to truly achieve the purpose of education rectification. The foreman on duty should not only check the problems existing in the cleaning work afterwards, but also conduct spot checks in the cleaning process, point out the problems in time, help correct them, and strengthen the quality control in the cleaning process, instead of blindly adopting the method of "calculating the general ledger" afterwards. The problems found should be summarized and analyzed in detail at the next day's pre-shift meeting to attract everyone's attention. For those serious problems or problems caused by poor sense of responsibility, not only do you have to be punished for redoing, but even deduct points and bonuses, which makes the parties feel "painful".
Whether the foreman and employees can get along with each other in good faith, what employees value is whether the foreman is decent. Although some foreman's ability and level are not very strong, they are good at getting along honestly with subordinates, establishing friendship and trust with them, and making employees take the initiative. The cohesion of this team is generally strong. Most employees look down on the foreman who bullies the weak and fears the hard, engages in intimacy and even engages in small circles, so how to do a good job in team building? Another important aspect for the foreman to win the hearts of employees is to respect their personality. Don't put on an "official" shelf in front of employees, and scold them at every turn. Most employees have their own specialties, and the foreman should sincerely learn from them and ask for advice. Don't think it will lower their social status. On the contrary, the more sincere you are to employees, the more employees will treat you as bosom friends. Foremen should take the initiative to do the ideological work of employees. If employees have problems, on the basis of finding out the facts, critics should criticize (pay attention to the proper way), don't "point fingers at mulberry trees", don't always report to superiors, and let superiors "punish" employees, so that employees' opinions will be greater, which is not conducive to the fundamental solution of the problem. For employees who have made mistakes, help them enthusiastically, not sarcastically; We should answer some simple questions put forward by new employees patiently and actively, instead of dismissing them, thus hurting the self-esteem of new employees.
