Training a Diverse Workforce
by Jeffrey Drozdowski, Manager, National Training at Little Caesars
In 1776, artistic consultant Pierre Eugene du Simitiere suggested the adoption of the U.S. motto “E Pluribus Unum” (“Out of Many, One”). The original meaning of the phrase was that out of many colonies rose a great nation. However, in recent years, its meaning has evolved to suggest that out of many peoples, races, religions, languages and ancestries has emerged a single people and great nation, illustrating the concept of the melting pot.
The workplace makeup is changing, and quickly. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, workplace makeup includes gender, race, ethnicity, age and religion. There are other factors that fall under the category of diversity in the workplace, including culture, sexual orientation, and physical and mental abilities and challenges.

What Hospitality Trainers Should Know About Restrictive Scheduling Laws
by Patrick Yearout, Director of Recruiting and Training at Ivar's & Kidd Valley Restaurants
What is restrictive scheduling?
Sometimes called predictive or penalty scheduling, it is a national labor movement that wants to require businesses to notify employees well in advance of their work schedules (generally 2 to 4 weeks ahead of time). If a supervisor needs to alter the schedule by rearranging work shifts, asking employees to stay late during busy times, or trying to send them home during slow times, the employees affected might be entitled to additional compensation if the changes are made after certain deadlines. In addition, these laws can include provisions such as:
- Paying employees extra for on-call shifts.
- Eliminating the practice of “split shifts” and “clopening” (when an employee works a closing shift and then has to open the next morning) by mandating specific rest times between shifts.
- Offering available work hours to current part-time employees before a company can hire any new employees, with the intention to create an all full-time staff. Read More
