Individual Assignment - Presentation – 15% - Tuesday Class
Students will be required to complete an individual presentation and an individual paper at the end of the term. Students will be required to provide a paper written APA style format.
You are a hospitality human resources executive in a new hospitality global entrant. Your main responsibility is to oversee the strategic planning as well as the hiring, training and development of all employees. You will need to create the company’s goals and objectives. This includes the development of the mission statement for the organization and the purpose of the hospitality brand.
Every employee speaks English at various levels, however, there will be communication issues as many employees are from different parts of the world. You need to plan for the long-term growth of the brand and this means that employees will be working in different locations around the world for this new hospitality company entrant.
For this presentation, you will look at current hospitality leaders’ best practices in human resources. You are presenting your plan to the executive committee team at the annual strategic planning meeting. This means that there needs to be buy-in from the executive team and the leaders of the organization have to have confidence in your leadership. I would encourage you to look at Fairmont Hotels and Resorts and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts in the accommodation sector. In addition, you may want to look at Tim Horton’s and Cactus Club in the food and beverage sector as they attempt to grow their global presence in the industry.
