Readthe following scenario:
You are an independent
consultant who has recently been hired by JC’s Casino to help improve retention
issues concerning the dealers and housekeepers. Most of the dealers have been
leaving the casino to work at other casinos in the area, even though JC’s
Casino pays better than their local competition. On several exit interviews,
many of the dealers have cited the pit boss, Joe, as being “toxic, overbearing,
evil, and incompetent.” Joe is the casino owner’s step-son and the HR director,
Tom Sneed, is afraid to confront the owner.
Among the housekeeping staff,
there has been an above normal rate of absenteeism and high turnover of rooms.
Many of the managers who work in accounting, payroll, and other departments
have had to ask their full-time employees to help cover for housekeeping by
cleaning rooms periodically. Because of this problem, the hotel has had to
adjust their check in times from 3 p.m. (the industry standard) to 6 p.m.
Customers have arrived earlier and the hotel has had to accommodate them by
creating a room to hold luggage. They have also had to hire staff to man the
luggage room.
The director of housekeeping,
Andrew Keehn, has been working hard to add more staff but he states “good help
is hard to find.” The housekeeper’s current hourly wage is comparable to other
casinos in the area but because of the staffing shortage, the housekeepers have
to clean more rooms per day than their counterparts. The casino owner only
knows that there are some issues with keeping the dealers and that some
customers were upset because they had to wait to check in. You have been hired
for a quick fix and your suggestions were needed yesterday.
Writea 1,400- to 1,700-word paper in which you identify
each issue and make recommendations to JC, the casino president, on how to
improve overall retention. What the scenario does not provide, you can create.
Be sure to include the following in your assessment:
·
Evaluate at least two work
motivation theories and how they can be applied in order to improve employee
recruitment and retention at JC’s Casino.
·
Examine possible occupational
stressors that are negatively influencing recruitment and retention. What
improvements would you suggest to alleviate these stressors?
·
Examine the role of job
satisfaction and its influence on retention at the casino. Provide
recommendations for improving job satisfaction of the employees and how that
can play a part in successfully improving retention.
·
Discuss counterproductive
employee behavior occurring at the casino. What suggestions would you make to
reduce the counterproductive behavior and increase productive employee
behavior?
