People have always said to me, and it is thrown around a lot in life “it is better the devil you know, than the one you don’t know” but is this really true when it comes to the work place or life in general... If a member of staff is under performing, do you keep them as you should just become accustomed to their incompetence or inability to learn? If after all the correct training and mentoring has been exhausted, do you get rid of them and start again and hope for someone better next time around.
If the correct recruiting is done, the latter could be of great benefit. If resumes were honest and referees were of a high calibre themselves, not just high positions, to know they have really tested their ex-employee, or were they just a good employee to party with. True enthusiasm and passion with the correct basic skill go along way when it comes to getting the result from the staff you really want to work alongside you.
Have labour laws become so strict, or has senior management become so short sighted that it works against productivity and improvement for a business and the customer. I read an article recently about large HR companies having departments to check Facebook/ Myspace and so on when recruiting, to see how the prospective employees are in real life not just a luminary on paper. This maybe an invasion of privacy, but it’s out on the Internet for anybody to see, so be it.....
To be a good kitchen manager you must be a Kitchen all rounder, do and teach what you preach. Know body ever knows everything, though life is about being a sponge, soaking up information, evaluate its integrity and practicality, then put it to use.
