Process Street - Training Hotel Employees Template

Process Street's Training Hotel Employees Template has been designed to act as an aid to guide you through your employee onboarding and training process.

This Training Hotel Employees Template has organized the employee onboarding and training process into the below stages:

Pre-training Information
Trial Shift
Induction
Initial Training
Implementing the Training Procedure
Re-training
Implementing Continued Professional Development
End of Training Period

Human resources are regarded as a powerful resource. Within 'human resources', staff onboarding and training constitute essential parts.

Candidates hired should have the best possible match for both the job duties and the hotel's culture. It is through good onboarding and training processes that employees succeed in their role.

With this in mind, Process Street has designed the Training Hotel Employees Template to aid your employee training process.

At Process Street we have considered the common mistakes training programs often make, to avoid such errors in our Training Hotel Employees Template.

For example, according to the German Psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus, 90% of what we learn, we forget.

So let us translate in terms of employee onboarding and training. This means 90% of new skills are lost and forgotten. Employee training programs often neglect what happens after training, leading to their failure in this respect, as essential knowledge and skills are not maintained for the employee to flourish in their role.

Our Training Hotel Employees Template counteracts this by 'Implementing Continued Professional Development' as a stage in the employee training process.

Using Process Street's Training Hotel Employees Template, common training errors are avoided so your employee's talents, skills, and abilities are realized, enhanced and then maintained

This checklist should be completed at the beginning of every employee onboarding process. You will be presented with a set of specialized questions designed to make sure a good and effective onboarding process is carried out.

This Training Hotel Employees Template contains subtasks to be checked off when they are completed. In addition, short and long answer form fields can be populated with your own notes, data, and information.

''Good communication skills are a learned art and not a natural skill so one should consider training to enhance staff skills.''

Regardless of job title, the hospitality industry is a people's industry. The ability to communicate well with guests and other team members are vital skills to have. This is why it is important to provide basic training in customer service and communication to every employee, as part of the training process.

Provide basic customer service training

Provide basic communication training

Review trainee's induction period

Induction attainment is a conditional step. If the trainee passes they will move on in the training process.

Induction attainment

Notes on employee induction

Provide feedback to the employee

If the trainee was unsuccessful during the induction period, for example, they didn't attend general training, then you can summarise the reasons for the induction failure and embed this into an email. The email can then be sent, confirming the trainee was unsuccessful and providing feedback as to why.

Identify reasons why the trainee's induction was unsuccessful

Initial Training:

Identify success criteria

To generate the best training program, the program needs to be catered specifically to the trainee's position. Identify training targets specific to the trainee's new role and establish a training path to achieve these targets.

1

Consider the job description to identify training requirements

What are the training requirements?

Identify and record targets based on these requirements

Identify the training methods to be used to meet these targets?

Outline third-party training courses to be attended

It might be a good idea to consider the trainee's background and skills when setting targets. This can streamline your training plan to place a greater emphasis on training the trainee's weaknesses.

Review the trainee's progress

A dynamic due date has been set. A reminder will be actioned on the date entered to complete the review.

Date of trainee's first review

Email the trainee

Email the trainee confirmation of their success passing their targets in the initial training period. You can include summarised notes stating the trainee's successes. You can also state areas where the trainee can work to improve in as part of their ongoing development.

Implementing the Training Procedure:

Perform trainee's first review

Achievement of trainee's targets is a conditional step. If the trainee passes they will move on in the training process.

Achievement of trainee's targets

Review pass attainment details

You can note down the trainee's successes on passing their targets. What was the trainee specifically good at? What were the trainee's milestone achievements? Passing this information on can boost trainee moral.

It is also a good idea to consider areas where the trainee could improve as part of the trainee's ongoing personal development.

The below information can be passed onto the trainee via email later in this process.

Note down the trainee's successes

Note down potential areas for improvement

Re-training:

Review fail attainment details

Review why the trainee failed to meet their targets from their initial training.

State the trainee's successes to boost their moral, before diving into the targets the trainee failed to achieve.

Be sure to obtain reasons why the trainee failed to achieve these targets, so you can implement an effective re-training plan that supports the trainee in obtaining all of their targets.

Note successes the trainee achieved

List targets trainee failed to achieve with explanations as to why

Review and set new targets

Based on the targets the trainee failed to achieve, and the reasons why, formulate a new set of targets for the trainee's re-train.

Our dynamic due date feature has been used for the 'date of re-train review' step. You will receive a reminder an hour before the review is required on this date.

Implement a training plan to attain previously failed targets

State third-party training courses the trainee has to attend

Assign a mentor if required

Date of re-train review

Targets trainee failed to achieve

{{form.List_targets_trainee_failed_to_achieve_with_explanations_as_to_why}}

Email new targets to trainee

You can email the trainee's new set of targets using our email widget below.

Review trainees re-train performance

This is a stop task. You will be unable to progress in the Training Hotel Employees Template until the trainee has successfully passed their targets. This may require a continual review of the trainee until they pass and can move onto the next stage.

The trainee has their passed targets

Note down the trainee's successes from re-training

Note down potential areas of improvement identified from re-training

Implementing Continued Professional Development Training:

Create continued professional development targets

The trainee has passed the training targets. For the trainees continued professional development, further targets can be set based on areas the trainee could improve upon. These targets can then be emailed to the trainee in the final step of this process.

Create a new set of targets for continued professional development

Outline how the trainee is going to be trained to obtain these targets

State third party training courses to be attended

Use the 3x3 method, that is, state three strengths and three areas for potential development to the trainee.
