Week 6 EOC: Management Retail, Visual Manager Job Analysis

What is an manager when it comes down to an In Store Visual Merchandiser, Operations and a Manager for a retailer. These are all jobs that require strong skills when it comes down to the use of someone looking for a job in the field of a retail job. Having the right skills for the position that you are looking to go for are keen when it comes to applying for the job. “The American public has probably always been concerned about ethics. However, today, after recurring news events about numerous business organizations and political corruption and abuses at all governmental levels that most persons believe to have serious ethical consequences, these concerns have never been more significant.” (Hayes 159) Hayes, David K. Human Resources Management in the Hospitality Industry. Wiley, 02/2008. VitalBook file.

Reasons to why you would need to have a great group of managers on your payroll when it comes down to a running the right store. Having the right personal on the staff is a reason why went with the jobs that I wanted to list. I feel that I have the right amount of skills to make sure that I am able to fulfill the duties of a job like these. Human resources managers should recognize that their behavior often speaks more loudly than the philosophy expressed in their organization's mission statement. Consider managers who specify food portions that violate truth-in-menu laws, their peers who raise hotel room rates in times of emergencies in states where it is legal (but perhaps not ethical) to do so, and managers in all segments of the hospitality industry who exaggerate benefits in marketing and advertising messages.

The starting Salary for the current positions that are those that are things that start around $55k-$100k. I think that the starting is something that is not too far from what it is that I am able to do when it comes to the standards of the job titles that are all above.

Week 5 EOC Employee and Recruitment

I turely think that things that are in my opinion I believe in following the guidelines that represent the company when it comes to physical attractiveness during the recruiting process. The physical identity of your employees is very important to the company and securing and keeping an adequate customer base. “That is why employee recruitment and selection efforts are so critical to the long-term success of every hospitality business and to all of the hospitality managers who direct their operation’s recruitment and selection process” (Hayes, David K. Human Resources Management in the Hospitality Industry, 1^st Edition. Pg. 100. Wiley, 02/2008. VitalSource Bookshelf Online). When customers see an employee with poor hygiene that can stop a customer from doing business or they will just make a complaint against the business which can hurt the company in many different ways. During the hiring process it’s important to pay attention to any visible tattoos, scars and personal hygiene these factors are important when considering someone for employment. “Our people are our greatest asset” (Hayes, David K. Human Resources Management in the Hospitality Industry, 1^st Edition. Pg. 100. Wiley, 02/2008. VitalSource Bookshelf Online). When a company has an image to protect and a standard to adhere to this is why the recruiting process must pay attention to controllable and uncontrollable factors.“Employee recruiting and selection are the first two essential steps taken by businesses to identify and choose the right employees, with the right qualifications, to serve their customers” (Hayes, David K. Human Resources Management in the Hospitality Industry, 1^st Edition. Pg. 100. Wiley, 02/2008. VitalSource Bookshelf Online). 

Week 3 EOC Workplace Fairness

When it comes down to the  question of, Some company's only ask applicants to list recent criminal activity and does I matter? I would like to say that do think that it matters when it comes to the ways that when it comes to the factors of an employee would be a thing that would hinder their future of the future employee. I think that the company ask you that because they would like to know that if you have a recent criminal history in the last seven years. They would like to know if the person has any bad things like stealing or things like that on their record. With this information it would be able to know that it would help out with the growth of the person. As a hiring manager, I would definitely consider hiring someone who was convicted with drug possession that happened ten years ago. Something that happened that long ago, should not ruining her chances of being hired for this job. If it was more recent, then yes it can definitely ruining your chances for getting this job. And yes, I do agree with the manager approach and asking a potential hire if they were convicted of anything, no matter how long ago it was. Though the managers will find out either way when they do a background check. The applicant should always be honest and communicate to them if they were ever convicted of anything. Honesty communication are the two things employers are looking for when hiring new applicants. In most cases, hospitality unit managers serve as their own on-site legal counsel. As a result, these individuals are looked upon by their employers as well as those reporting to them to make the legally appropriate decisions in a wide variety of work situations. These range from selecting and disciplining employees to preventing harassment in all of its forms, to employee compensation, employee appraisal, termination, and a myriad of other HR concerns.
