17 1. Explain management activities and how evolving employee expectations can influence managers as they facilitate the work of their employees. Management activities include planning, organizing, coordinating, staffing, supervising, controlling, and evaluating. While all of these activities are involved in managing the work of employees, staffing and supervising directly focus on this area. Managers must assist with activities in the employment cycle that begin with finding, recruiting, and screening applicants. The cycle continues with hiring, orienting, and supervising new employees. It concludes with activities relating to employee terminations and then begins again. Three generations of employees comprise the majority of today’s workforce: Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials.

18 1. Explain management activities and how evolving employee expectations can influence managers as they facilitate the work of their employees continued… While some basic supervisory strategies are useful with employees of all ages, strategies will ideally be changed to address the concerns of employees in specific age groups.

19 2. Describe strategies for facilitating the work of employees.
Effective managers provide direction, lead consistently, influence others, and foster teamwork. In addition, they can motivate employees, coach and develop them, and champion change.

20 3. Explain how skills, abilities, leadership style, and corporate culture impact a manager’s human resources activities. Managers manage within financial restraints, implement quality management processes, and make effective decisions to turn problems into opportunities. They can use several different leadership styles including autocratic, bureaucratic, democratic, and laissez-faire. Ideally, they will modify their leadership style based on the needs of specific employees. The organization’s corporate culture impacts how managers supervise. Operations that are thought of as employers of choice work hard to treat employees with respect. Supervisory strategies can be an important employee retention factor.

21 4. Identify the benefits of and procedures for promoting employee diversity within restaurant and foodservice operations. Benefits of diversity include a more positive workplace, the ability to attract more customers and employees, and improved legal protection. Managers must work to reduce the impact of prejudice and stereotypes that hinder team development. They can promote diversity by using appropriate recruiting strategies, increasing cross-cultural interactions, educating employees and setting expectations, and addressing accountability.

22 5. Explain the importance of ethical decision making; the role of codes of ethics in restaurant and foodservice operations; and tasks involved in developing, implementing, and enforcing codes of ethics. Ethical principles help define what is right and wrong. Managers should be honest, should not mislead others, and should always do what is right. They should use a questioning approach to determine whether a decision is based on sound ethics. Written codes of ethics, driven by corporate culture and implemented with policies and procedures, provide a foundation for employee behavior. These codes also guide decision making, facilitate decision evaluation, and support the obligation managers have to the corporation, operation, customers, society, and the law.

23 Education and enforcement are critical.
