St. Regis Hotel Atlanta
In a refreshing display of things really bad bosses would never do, the St. Regis hotel in Atlanta did a couple of really great things. First, the hotel, scheduled to open on Aril 14th, hired 200 new employees. In Georgia, where the unemployment rate is 9.3% ,those jobs spell much needed relief for families all over Atlanta. Then on Thursday, the hotel put 186 employees in a police escorted limousine motorcade, formally welcomed their arrival with a French military salute and toasted them with champagne for all. The hotel wanted employees to understand what their guests would be experiencing.
I’ve talked to friends over the past several months who all tell me the same story. Management, at least in their cases, has actually gotten worse. One even said that when he brought his concerns to management, they asked him where else he could go “in this economy.” How incrediby short sighted. That’s why St. Regis’ treatment of their new hires is to be applauded. What a great way to gain their loyalty, commitment and respect. Lets hope management finds creative ways to keep the good sentiments going. Source
