I’ve been thinking about how crucial our training methods are for new hires in the hotel industry. Recently, I incorporated role-playing scenarios that mimic actual guest interactions and it seems to boost their confidence significantly. I’d love to hear what techniques other coordinators are finding effective to improve performance and development for their teams.
I’ve found that incorporating shadowing opportunities can really help new hires get comfortable before they’re on their own… They get to see how experienced staff handle various situations. It aligns with your point about confidence, especially in tricky guest interactions.
And i love the role-playing idea! In my experience, adding feedback sessions right after those scenarios really helps reinforce what they learned… It’s all about building those essential skills in real-time. @jasonrobinson21, have you tried anything similar?
You’re spot on about role-playing! I’ve found that adding real-time critiques right after scenarios can really clarify expectations. It’s great for boosting confidence, but I also think regular team check-ins help maintain morale over time. @jasonrobinson21, have you tried that?
Using role-playing is fantastic! I’ve found mixing in some fun icebreaker games can ease the tension, making it feel less like training and more like a team-building party. Plus, it helps everyone bond, which is just as important in our industry. @guestservicespro shared some neat ideas on this a while back, and they’re definitely worth checking out.
