working on a corporate customer service program for all MGM-Resorts dealers. He told me that he thought we some fantastic ideas, and the he might be able to incorporate some of them into his corporate program. After several months I was told that Mr. Kirby attended a corporate event were Greg Chase presented his customer service program “Table Games Guest Workshop”. Mr. Kirby took for the meet the accompanying literature the Mr. Chase gave to the attendees. The similarities between Mr. Chase’s presentation and the one I created are quite obvious. A week or so later, Mr. Hartley ask me if I would be willing to present the new corporate program to the New York New York dealers. Mr. Hartley told me that it was Mr. Kirby’s suggestion …show more content…
Mr. Hartley wanted a system in place that could correct any mistakes there were made in the interview process.
Mr. Hartley urged me to create an evaluation system that was specific to the position of dealer. The evaluation process consisted of a weighted survey given to a floor supervisor to complete. The questions on the survey were directed at the three skill sets required of a dealer (technical skills, language skills, and social skills). Survey questions that were based on an important skill were worth more than questions about less desirable skills. Each new hire would be evaluated by three supervisors, and the evaluations would be averaged together to reach a final evaluation score. Three supervisors were required in an effort to mitigate any personal bias on the part of the floor supervisor. I told Mr. Hartley that the process would first need to be tested on current dealers to work out any issues related to the weight and wording of the questions. I then had 32 current dealers evaluated by supervisors (96 total surveys). This process accounted for much of the unpaid overtime I performed from September of 2015 to December of 2016.
Dual Rate Development/Analysis Program
Late In September of 2015, Mr. Hartley had informed me that he had recently spoken with Mr. Kirby about a recent round of interviews he had conducted with the of the dual-rate staff. An opening for a full-time supervisor had opened due to a retirement.
MGM Resorts International was incorporated in Delaware on January 29, 1986 as MGM Grand, Incorporated, a subsidiary of Kirk
Mary Ann Sena-Edelen is currently the Director of Guest Experience at MGM Grand. Before that though, she was just a Mexican/Filipino intern at Salt Lake City for a radio station. After her dad won $10,000 at bingo, she quit her job and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to pursue new opportunities. She had known ever since the day she moved to Las Vegas that everything about the city was suited for her. Everything that happened after that was out of effort, which was one of the points that Mary Ann wanted to drive home to a classroom of about 200+ students. Mary Ann’s success was a result of effort and her creating the person that she wants to be.
Performance appraisal systems play an important part in the process of performance management (Cascio, 2006) and toward ensuring consistency and fairness; this proposal recommends Kudler Fine Foods to use of the current performance appraisal system for evaluating individuals within the sales team.
In a conclusion, strengths of the negotiated performance appraisal are its ability to promote candid two-way communication between the supervisor and the person being appraised and to help the latter take more responsibility for improving performance. In contrast, in this case, the supervisor acts more as a judge of employee performance than as a coach. By so doing, unfortunately, the focus is on blame rather than on helping the employee assume responsibility for improvement.
I don’t feel that the experts’ recommendations will be sufficient to get most of the administrators to fill out the rating forms properly. The managers would be pleased with the recommendation to rescind Mr. Winchester’s forced ranking technique but would definitely challenge the idea of not tying salary increases to appraisal forms because it’s what they’ve always done and it is the only way they feel they can provide competitive wages for secretaries. The issues of providing invalid feedback to each secretary
The first step that D-Bart can take to improve its overall performance appraisal process is to make sure that managers are properly informed as to how to complete this process effectively. A failure to provide proper guidance is one of the biggest reasons many performance appraisal systems fail (Kromrei, 2015; Park, 2014; DelPo, 2007; Armstrong, Appelbaum, & Henches, 2003). D-Bart should evaluate its current process and seek to implement procedures which will allow managers to be more informed about this process. Some ways in which D-Bart could seek to improve this process is by creating a handbook which management can reference when completing the process, requiring every individual in a management position to undergo a training course, and specifying a designated individual to which all questions about the process can be directed. All of these will help managers feel more
Customer service is always important for companies to increase their sales and it can be divided into before and after sales.

MGM Mirage is one of the largest gaming industries in the United States and specifically Las Vegas, Nevada. The two people responsible for the start of this empire are Kirk Kerkorian and Steven Wynn. Kirk Kerkorian opened up the first MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1973. Steven Wynn moved to Las Vegas in 1967 and after investing in land on the strip he later opened up the Mirage, followed by Treasure Island and the Bellagio. The MGM Mirage was created during the merger in 2000, and Steven Wynn is no longer affiliated with this company. Since this merger, MGM Mirage has grown and acquired numerous other properties. Currently MGM Mirage acts as a holding company and conducts operation
Some managers were reluctant in differentiating between their employees and allow any unfamiliar person to evaluate them. Because of this true performer might miss his/her rewards and incentives.
Hilton Hotels, one of the biggest worldwide corporations in the hospitality industry, adopted a Customer Really Matter (CRM) strategy to manage its diverse segments of hotels and to improve customer experience. The cornerstone of the CRM, the custom-built OnQ information system, built profiles of the guests, which could be used by the front desk employees and the reservations center to better serve the customers. The OnQ system did improved efficiency of call center operations, but the way of using it also reduced the flexibility of the customer service in the hotels. It could benefit or harm the service-profit chain depending on the specific situation. A few recommendations were made at the end of the case study to improve the system. In general, Hilton should implement big data analytics and give more control to the customers.
“Dave Sinclair vice-president of human resources at Blue Mountain Resorts, on December 2, 1999, was looking at his service quality program by introducing three new proposals to the company executive team on Monday December 5th” (Analysis of the Case, Campbell). “Blue Mountain had been using the service quality program for the past nine years, and has improved their service rated by the customers every year. The three proposals that Dave is reviewing are ways to enhance the customers experience at Blue Mountain Resorts by making it easier to navigate and reduce stress” (the BMR official cites). As Dave analyzed the three proposals he saw that they were a very logical continuation of the service quality program that he
