Managers Induction note

 

THE Chinese Buffet Induction Overview

 

When a new employee begins working for the restaurant, it is extremely important to begin the process well.  By far the best way to start is to hold a formal Induction session.  The best person to conduct this Induction programme is the General Manager of the Restaurant.  Should the GM not be able to lead the entire programme, a senior member of the Management Team should take over for the GM after he/she has welcomed the new employees and completed the introduction phase of Induction.

 

A comprehensive Induction Session will produce the following results:

 

1.      The new employee will come away from Induction feeling good about their new employer.  Since employees work better when they are proud of their company, one of the most important elements of the Induction process is to establish this sense of pride.

 

2.      The new employee will come away knowing what is important to their new employer.  It is extremely important, from the outset, to clarify to new employees the foundation principles of Restaurant- the beliefs and values of the Restaurant Group as a whole.  In particular, since the new employee is now a part of the Restaurant team, it is important to make sure that they understand what the leadership of the team believes.

 

3.      The new employee will come away from the Induction with a clear understanding of their Restaurant's "Vision" and "Mission".  They will know what the Restaurant is striving to accomplish.

 

4.      The new employee will come away knowing the importance of the team.  Since the success of the Restaurant depends upon everyone working together, it is important to reinforce the principles of teamwork during Induction.  For this reason, some type of team building exercise should always be conducted.  Although individuals are capable of performing well, teams always produce better long-term results.

 

5.      The new employee should come away from the Induction programme with a clear understanding of the organizational structure of the business both on the national and local level.  They should learn about the parent company, and they should learn about the growth and development of Restaurant.

 

6.      The new employee should come away from Induction with a clear understanding of the information contained in the employee handbook.  This information answers most of the questions every new employee will have.  Questions like, "When do I get paid?"  Do I get a uniform?"  "How am I supposed to enter and exit the building?"  "How do I get something to eat at work?"

 

7.      The new employee will come away from Induction with a visual image of the Restaurant, its facilities, and its leadership.  Induction should always include a comprehensive tour of the Restaurant and its facilities.  It will be impossible for new employees to understand the big picture without this tour.  In addition, Induction should always include introductions to the leadership of the Restaurant.

 

8.      The new employee will come away from Induction having completed all of the necessary forms and paperwork.  Induction is the ideal time to complete this

Recruiting locally means that THE Chinese Buffet can support the local community. We can help support young people to make their first step in their career, or help residents who are out of work to return to work.

 

As part of level 5 training, Assistant managers (AM) are expected to have knowledge of local staff recruiting sources.

AM’s should familiarize themselves with the local job facilities e.g. job centers / recruitment agencies.

Have written down or recorded the telephone numbers that can help in case of emergency of labour. E.g. telephone number of local college/universities, job centers, chamber of commerce.

 

Local staff recruitment has many benefits including:

  • Increased staff loyalty and productivity

  • Stronger community relations

  • Insight into the local community and local customers
