KEY HIRING ESSENTIALS TO AVOIDING TURNOVER

by

From what goes on the plates to who serves it, it all comes down to who you hire.  What are they like? How do they interact with the guest? What’s their reaction to conflict? One bad hire can infect and affect an entire staff and bring a line of issues for yourself and your guest.
Beyond a bad hire ruining a guest experience, the cost of a bad hire is high.  According to the Council of Hotel and Restaurant Trainers, the average cost wasted on a bad hire is $20,000 per manager and $2,225 per hourly employee. Let the numbers speak for themselves.
So before your cash goes down the drain and a bad reputation spreads from poor guest experiences, consider these 2 key hiring essentials – it might just save you both time and money!
Hire the candidates with a level of high engagement. 
What’s the employee’s engagement level? It’s a candidates market and individuals are looking for the greatest and newest opportunities consistently.  Beyond the hire that stands out on paper with the skills to perform well, who are the ones with a genuine interest in the food and beverage industry as a whole? They are the ones likely to be satisfied in your working environment and therefore a steady employee.
More than just engaged in the industry, hire the candidate with shown social engagement skills too.  When employees are socially engaged in their career, guests notice it too. So what’s “socially engaged” mean? We’re talking about the candidates who like to lend a helping hand to their fellow co-workers, find importance in celebrating accomplishments and are not out to just make a buck or two…We’re talking about the ones who speak with the guest dining and are eager to ensure their experience is the best and most welcoming possible. Whether you’re after a close knit family culture, a strong team emphasis or any other cultural work ideas, hire the candidates who have shown you the social skills to meet your goals.  Your guest and other employees will thank you for the engagement levels each new employee possesses.
Hire the candidate you have screened fully.
It’s the 21st century and that means a whole new world of opportunity to automate the age-old hiring process.
From online applications to personality test, take advantage of the tools available to help “do the legwork” for you to weed out the candidates who don’t make a qualified fit.  Find out more than just previous work history and education… discover their character and outlook on work with a variety of online questionnaire surveys.
There’s far more to screening a candidate for hire beyond a one-time face to face interview.  In fact, it’s the hires that you interview one time with just a paper application who are costing you the big bucks we call turnover.  One example to setting an automated screening process to help eliminate high turnover rates could include setting up online surveys for previous employers and references to reply with detailed information on each candidate’s performance.
There’s more to the age-old practice of hiring than ever before… what are you doing to make it not only hard for candidates to want to walk away from your company after their hire, but before even accepting the position to ensure you’ve got the right hire?
