Puttin' on the Ritz
by Patrick Yearout, Director of Training and Recruiting, Ivar's Restaurants
How
do you measure the quality of a hotel? For some people, it has to do with the physical elements of the property: spacious guest rooms, lavish decor, or thick walls to keep noise at a minimum. For others, it has to do with the amenities: luxurious linens on the beds, 24-hour room service to cater to their every whim, or an upscale spa where they can melt away their cares. And for some guests, it has to do with the location; they want something that will be within walking distance to a city’s stores, restaurants, and nightlife.
Luckily for us CHART members, the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans is wonderful no matter how you measure it. This property, the site of our 90th Hospitality Training Conference this summer, is located right in the heart of The Big Easy, only a block away from the world-famous Bourbon Street and surrounded by restaurants with delicious Southern cuisine. The rooms at the Ritz-Carlton are amazingly appointed, with large comfy beds that you will want to take home with you, and the building is filled with a classic elegance that you don’t often find in newer hotels.

This simple step has the ability to better align training with business objectives and give employees a voice in creating meaningful improvements in training.
You know the snapshot. Trainers conduct a class and hand out “smile sheet” evaluations to trainees at the end. These do little more than evaluate how employees feel coming out of the room, or make the trainers feel good (or bad) about themselves. Yes, we are collecting feedback, but rarely does it involve honest and substantive feedback that we actually use for Level 1 change.
From a technical perspective, taking NPS into training evaluations is pretty straightforward and involves changing your evaluations to a 10-point Likert scale, including “intent to recommend,” and adding some new open-ended questions designed to identify strengths and weaknesses. The organizational perspective, however, goes beyond the straightforward and includes many benefits: . Read More
