In previous "Feature Articles" we’ve discussed several, what you might call,
"foundational truths" about management, organizations, the working
environment and basic human behavior. If these observations, statements,
concepts, whatever you want to call them, make sense and you can see the
connections between management, state of mind, climate and the ability of a
group of people to function together successfully, then you’re probably
ready for the "how" part. In other words, ‘how" can a manager or supervisor
manage and interact with his or her people that results in those people
enjoying their jobs more and become highly productive, customer-focused
workers.

I am tan and rather flat. I come in a large pod and unless I’m very young…
I’m inedible. I can be purchased dried or cooked in cans. It’s an
infrequent occasion when you’ll find me fresh…but when you do, it’s
important to pick my pods that aren’t bulging –
which indicates age. I have a very tough skin that should be
removed by blanching before cooking. Oh yeah…I’m very
popular with the people in the Mediterranean and the Middle East.

This morning, an employee, good record, 5 years with the operation was
horse-playing in the service area. She removed the fire extinguisher, pulled
the pin and sprayed the white stuff in the kitchen, service area and dining
room. All the linen and food was damaged. All the plates had to be washed,
pots and pans also. The alarm went off, members had to go down 2 floors, the
fire department arrived, and so on. It costs the operation $2,000 in fines
to the city, new linens, as well as the tab for some of the club members.
Employees pitched in immediately to help clean the operation since we had to
get ready for lunch. The manager suspended her until next week. and I am
sure she will lose her job because of property damage. Remember you have to
set an example otherwise it will be done again. What would you do?
What would you do if one of your employees has poor hygiene without
offending him or her? In my career I have done it a few times? If
I have a good report with this employee I would talk to him or her If
I feel I will hurt his or hers feelings I will ask my Sous-chef or another
employee that has a good report with him or her to talk about. Or I would
have a kitchen meeting and the theme of the day is Hygiene, maybe the
employee will get the message. I have done it twice and it worked.
Have a great day.
