Question:
Department in a large hospital and receive lots of advice from our HR department about a wide variety of special concerns that otherwise I would never know about." He was speaking to a friend, Alice, who worked in the same city for a busy fast-casual restaurant.
Alice's reply was expected: "Keeping up with legal issues and finding time to address a wide variety of other HR concerns is a problem. I try to do the best possible, but there are always emergencies that must receive a priority. Then, unfortunately, many 'nice to know and do' things are never done."
"How do you stay out of trouble, then, Alice?" asked Oscar, "There are always legal concerns, benefits cost issues, and compensation studies, for example, that I would assume are necessary. There also must be lots of things that your employees want and deserve that require some attention.
"Yes, Oscar, you're correct," said Alice. "As the manager of a multiunit chain property, I do get some support from corporate officials. And I belong to several professional associations and attend meetings and receive updates from those groups. I've learned some other tactics along the way, but obviously it's not possible to spend all of the time on HR concerns that I would like."
- What are additional ways Alice can obtain the HR-related information she needs to do her job well?
- What information applicable to Oscar's nutrition services employees will likely be relevant to all hospital employees? What are some food service-specific HR concerns Oscar might have?
