INTRODUCTION TO HOTEL INDUSTRY
One of the fastest growing sectors of the economy of our time is the hotel industry. The hotel
industry alone is a multi-billion dollar and growing enterprise. It is exciting, never boring andoffer unlimited opportunities. The hotel industry is diverse enough for people to work in
different areas of interest and still be employed within the hotel industry. This trend is not just in
India, but also globally.
Modern hotels provide refined services to their guests. The customers or guests are always right.
This principle necessitated application of management principles in the hotel industry and the
hotel professionals realized the instrumentality of marketing principles in managing the hotel
industry.
The concept of total quality management is found getting an important place in the marketing
management of hotels. The emerging positive trend in the tourism industry indicates that hotel
industry is like a reservoir from where the foreign exchange flows. This naturally draws our
attention on HOTEL MANAGEMENT. Like other industries, the hotel industry also needs to
explore avenues for innovation, so that a fair blending of core and peripheral services is made
possible. It is not to be forgotten that the leading hotel companies of the world have been
intensifying research to enrich their peripheral services with the motto of adding additional
attractions to their service mix. It is against this background that we find the service mix more
flexible in nature.
The recruitment and training programmes are required to be developed in the face of
technological sophistication. The leading hotel companies have been found promoting an
ongoing training programme so that the personnel come to know about the use of sophisticated
communication technologies.

guest accounts (cashiering), and checking out guests. Front desk agents also handle the
distribution of guestroom keys and mail, messages or other information for guests. The most
visible part of the front office area is of course the front desk.

Housekeeping is responsible for cleaning the hotels guestrooms and public areas. This
department has the largest staff, consisting of an assistant housekeeper, room inspectors,
room attendants, a houseperson crew, linen room attendants and personnel in charge of

advertising and public relations. The marketing division is charged with the responsibility of
keeping the rooms in the hotel occupied at the right price and with the right mix of guests.
Engineering and Maintenance Department:-
The energy crisis throughout the world has given a great importance to the engineering
department of a hotel. This department provides on the day-to-day basis the utility services,
electricity, hot water, steams, air-conditioning and other services and is responsible for repair
and maintenance of the equipment, furniture and fixtures in the hotel. The engineering
department has an important role in satisfying the guest- demand and helping to maintain the

maintenance of property and its furnishing, machinery and equipment are the joint
responsibilities of Engineering/Maintenance and the Housekeeping Department.
Finance, Accounting and Control Department:-
A hotels accounting department is responsible for keeping track of the many business
transactions that occur in the hotel. The accounting department does more than simply keep
the books-financial management is perhaps a more appropriate description of what the
accounting department does. Whereas the control department is concern with cost control
guidelines by way of reducing in investment, reduction in operating cost, control of food
service costs, control of beverage costs, labor cost control, etc.
Safety and Security Department:-
The security of guests, employees, personal property and the hotel itself is an overriding
concern for todays hoteliers. In the past, most security precautions concentrated on the

prevention of theft from guests and the hotel. However, today such violent crimes as murder
and rape have become a problem for some hotels. Unfortunately, crime rates in most majors
cities are rising. Hence today security department also concentrate on these additional
criminal activities too.
Administration Department:-
Top organizational members usually supervise the Administration Department in a hotel.
This department is responsible for all the work connected with administration, personnel,
manpower, employees welfare, medical, health and security.
Human Resource Development:-
This department has newly taken step in hotel industry and within a short span of time it has
become a very important part of the organization..
This department is the topic of our discussion. The practice, which this department and their
staff perform, is going to be learned in the light of following project.
INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT OF
HOTEL INDUSTRY
In hotel industry the job of HR manager can be compare with the job of
conductor, whose job is to instruct and direct all of the various musicians so that
they can perform well together. But before a conductor can direct a beautiful
performance, all of the individual musicians must be able to play their
instruments well. What kind of performance could one can expect if the violinists
did not know how to play their instruments or the flutists could not read music?
-
8/4/2019 finalSHRM
5/24
So it is in the hospitality industry, before a manager can direct and shape
employees individual contributions into an efficient whole, he or she must first
turn employees into competent workers who know how to do their jobs.
Employees are the musicians of the orchestra that the members of the audience-
the-guests-have come to watch performance. If employees are not skilled at their
jobs, then the performance they give will get bad reviews. Just as an orchestra
can have a fine musical score from a great composer and still perform poorly
because of incompetent musicians, so a hotel can have a finest standard recipes,
service procedures and quality standards and still have dissatisfied guests because
of poor employee performance.
That is why properly managing human resources is so important. No other
industry provides so much contact between employees and customers and so
many opportunities to either reinforce a positive experience or create a negative
one.
As in the five-star hotel and five-star deluxe hotel there are around lots of
employee are involved in different jobs in different fields there is dire need to
look and control on them. No doubt different departments heads are present to
look their department employee, but HRD is a place, which supervise and
effectively communicate with these departments head and communicate with the
top management. Thus there function is very large and diverse as compared with
respect to different departments heads.
