Beekeeper Improves Employee Communication for Feather Falls Casino, Lodge & Brewing Co.

When Oroville Dam's main and emergency spillways were damaged in February 2017, it prompted the evacuation of more than 180,000 people living downstream along the Feather River in Oroville, Calif. Among the evacuees were some of the 520 employees of the Feather Falls Casino, Lodge & Brewing Co. During this crisis, property managers, including Human Resources Director Rhonda Turner, had no way of communicating with staff - the majority of whom do not have a work email address. It was critical for management to determine if employees needed assistance, to explain the property's attendance and absence policies, and to see who could work pre-scheduled shifts and who could not due to relocation.

Beekeeper’s ‘Bee School’ is Back in Session

Employee engagement is a big buzz word in hospitality, but few hoteliers truly understand its meaning. It's not just about satisfying employees; satisfied employees are there to "get" something from employment, but engaged employees are there to "give" something to the organization and its customers. In hospitality, an engaged employee will do everything possible to ensure an exceptional guest experience. It's a notable difference between doing a job and doing a job over and above what is asked; a desire to only make himself/herself successful vs. making the employee, the company and the guest successful; making a mutual commitment vs. a personal one.
