Workplace diversity
When a hotel starts nearby offering higher salary the quality workforce
shifts towards that hotel. The HR has to retain these employees. (Karan,
Challenges faced by HR in the hotel industry, 2009)
Retention of Employees:
When an employee gets into a hotel to work because he dint get any other
job his main goals are based on his private life and will not like to stay in
the hotel industry for a long time. (Karan, Challenges faced by HR in the
hotel industry, 2009)

Job Design-
While performing a work knowledge workers have the liberty and judgment
to choose the method of performing the job. The workers are provided with
the desired outcomes in advance and the decisions which have to be
completed in order to attain results are left upon the workers. This gives
them more liberty to work upon the ‘how to achieve’ the outcomes. When a
certain level of autonomy is provided it gives them liberty to work. But if
total autonomy is provided it results to a lot of liberty and leads to chaos.
Motivation:
Knowledge workers can only perform well if they are motivated. When
challenging tasks are assigned to these employees they get motivated.
These employees should be occupied in decision making and planning
which creates a sense of belongingness. Motivation is the key way to
accomplishment.
Communication channels-
(Husain, 2010)
Managing Change:
The employees working in an organization knows that the work done today
is completely different from work done 5 years ago. Responsibilities and job
assignments all keeps changing. But employees resist accepting this
transformation because it will change their functioning patterns and change
their type of working. There are 2 types of changes, reactive change which
results from the outcome of peripheral forces on the organizations
performance; proactive change which is initiated by the manager in order to
take gain of the targeted opportunities.
5) Motivation of employees.
6) Creating and planning for short term returns as well as quantifiable
benefits.

subordinate organization and channel the efforts of his subordinates to
improve efficiency by using fewer resources from the gateway, which is
beneficial to the organization. Correctly identified that people who have

Competence of HR Managers:
Recruitment:
Necessity for job arises at all levels in the organization regularly. It is not
possible to meet these requirements right away. Therefore, an alternative
has to be identified to go with the requirement
The recruitment process can only be doing well if only the organization
understands its requirements. The candidates should be selected
according to the requirements of the organization. Different strategies are
required for focusing on hiring high performers and average performers.
The strategy has to be clear about the amount of experience they require. It
can range from an experienced senior professional to a new fresher. It
should also describe as in from which industry they require the employee.
That is from the same industry, different industry, employed or unemployed
professionals.
Sources of recruitment
Trained recruiters
The recruiters who conduct and organize the recruitment process should
be well qualified and experienced. The recruiters should be well trained and
should be aware about the various parameters.
Workplace Diversity:
Individual strategies-
Organizational strategies-
It ensures that company policy has been adopted with a direct or indirect
effect on staff. In addition, these policies deal with the hotel, how to
accommodate a variety of problems arising from differences among people
influencing the diversity of the organization. For example, consider a
manager’s sexual harassment complaint. The hotel’s policy is, if the burden
proved too much harassment and individually, the administrator reported
that only a clear signal about the importance of such matters raises a minor
sanction. However, the hotel is not just diversity, balanced set of policies to
deal with issues such as sexual harassment is sending a message to
employees the importance of individual rights and privileges. The hotel
must have an attitude of flexibility in the nature of different practices and
continuous process. (Bohlander G. a., Managing Human Resources, 2009)
The only way to overcome this challenge is to inspire and motivate the
skilled employees in order to keep hold of them. At times, the skilled
employees find it hard to adjust to the existing staff. As a result, conflicts
arise and these workers have to be let go. This problem has to be dealt
with extreme care. Only these employees should be recruited who are
suitable for the job and who can easily adapt to the existing work
environment. (Karan, Challenges faced by HR in the hotel industry, 2009)
The main aim of the hotel industry is to offer guests with quality service. For
example, a guest would be willing to go to a hotel which has good interiors
as well as good level of service. On the other hand, the guest would be
dissatisfied if only the hotel interiors were good and the staff would be
deficient in extending good quality of service. Thus quality is of utmost in
the hotel industry. In order that the guests are served well, the HR has to
ensure that the staff serving the guests is not discontented. Thus the HR
has to follow both, the guest as well as employee in order to maintain
healthy environment for management. (Karan, Challenges faced by HR in
the hotel industry, 2009)
Retention:
The human resource managers have to think of new ways to catch the
attention of the staff members to keep their jobs and keep them fascinated
in their jobs in order to retain them for longer period of time. Managers can
provide staff members with training programs and also by providing the
employees with a clear sequence plan in order to create attentiveness
amongst them for their advancement to higher levels of service which may
cause them to stick around for longer period of time. (Karan, Challenges
faced by HR in the hotel industry, 2009)
