Hotel Management and Housekeeping Executive Summary Hoteliers and hospitality managers can have a clear edge over the competition once they gain a better understanding of these management issues. This paper seeks to explore ways Hotel International can reorganize its housekeeping department in a bid to maintain quality accommodation and excellent customer service for its guests. Hiring employees from different nationalities has been seen to make good business sense as it gave hotels a truly international feel to it and since it cut operational cost. However, the challenge with this has been hiring inexperienced and incompetent student workers who lacked professional training in the hospitality industry. As such, the outcome was a poor performance and poor ratings from the unsatisfied customers. Job hiring based on clearly outlined roles and responsibilities and an appraisal scheme for performing workers have been shown to improve efficiency and performance in the housekeeping department and result in higher customer satisfaction. Besides, continuous or random inspections have also been identified to help to ensure quality performance (Park et al.,2019). The idea behind this inspection is that even…
Personality Influence by Social Media Over the years, people have had personality problems about themselves, either depending on how they felt about their bodies, how they looked, etc. With the increased usage of social media, the problems which people faced about their selves has greatly changed, and people now are focused more on impressing people and being over-concerned about what people generally think about them. Doctor Linda, who is a psychologist, shares this important insight into people’s shift from facing personal problems to being over-concerned about what people think about them. Social media has created a certain image of what people should look like, and many people have fallen victims to try and be what they are not. Social Media gives people the power to judge other people without even personally knowing them. I agree with Dr. Linda that a lot of people have lost their personalities, and they now want to impress others at all cost. I agree with Matthews’s post, where he highlights the large impact that other people have in determining our levels of confidence if we…
Protecting Media Sources The main principle supporting press freedom is the ability to protect their sources as identified in international law and by the United Nations. Therefore, the news media sources should be protected at all cost. Otherwise, important information that exposes many illegal doings might never be made public. Also, the sources will be dissuaded since no one will agree to offer any sensitive information when they are not protected. In our article, a New York Times reporter has undergone several cases where information was seized from his phone, thus exposing his sources (Apuzzo, 2015). Involving journalist in a trial to disclose their sources, or putting them to jail for refusing to identify their confidential sources, put their job at risk. However, a line should be drawn to exclude cases in which the journalist is supposed to reveal their sources.. In exceptional circumstances, disclosure of confidential sources is possible. Regardless of the journalist’s privileges, sometimes the need to protect vital interest justifies disclosing the information. However, utmost caution must be taken when interfering with the secrecy of the news.…
