[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”47671″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The workplace can be a hotbed for gossip and tension, and the restaurant industry knows this all too well. Poor morale in the workplace can lead to stress, productivity decline, even turnover. Luckily there are actions management can take to improve workplace culture, and today we\u2019ll focus on our top 3.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Show Respect<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This seems obvious, but a lot of managers have work to do in this area. Showing respect is more than just being outwardly kind to your staff. It\u2019s about treating them like humans rather than just a number on the payroll. For instance, take look at the work\/life balance of your staff and consider how you can manage a schedule for them in which everyone gets one weekend off a month, or two days off a week. Respecting your employees\u2019 time goes a long way in making sure your team is happy. While workers are on shift, give them free drinks and meals during work. Supply the break room with snacks. Be considerate of how you can help maximize the amount of time your staff has on their breaks by simplifying things as much as possible. If they\u2019re having a particularly bad day with a cranky customer, commiserate with them. These are your people, not machines: Treat them as such.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Actively Fight the Toxic Culture<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Kitchens have a terrible reputation for toxicity. Staffers become jaded to it and just expect that this is what they\u2019re going to endure so long as they stick with the restaurant industry, but these types of conditions are demoralizing. You can be the manager who puts his foot down and says no, we are not going to operate this way. It\u2019s hard to make a shift like this if you\u2019re currently facing a toxic environment, but it\u2019s necessary if you want a happy staff. Don\u2019t repeat the cycle of toxicity that restaurants are prone to. Engage your employees to help you make a change, so they know they\u2019re going to be active parts of the solution.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Acknowledge and Manage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Tension is going to happen. Fights will break out. Employees will argue with each other and customers. You won\u2019t be able to completely cut out the stress that comes with working in the hospitality industry, but you can play a role in decreasing it. Make sure that the brunt of the tension is falling on the more senior members of the team who are more equipped to handle it. Recognize that lower-level employees shouldn\u2019t have to endure the same stressors that management does. Leadership needs to take responsibility if something goes wrong\u2014regardless of whose fault it is.<\/p>\n
