Employee Management: Give Them the Tools They Need

Employees cannot do their jobs if they do not have the necessary tools. For example, employees serving meals cannot accurately portion the meals if there are 3 items that require a #8 scoop, and there is only 1 #8 scoop available in the department! Or, the department cannot be cleaned and sanitized if the chemicals and cleaning equipment are not available.

Not having the necessary tools to do the job is extremely frustrating for employees. This negatively effects moral and can bring the productivity of the entire department down.

The best way to determine if the employees have the right equipment to do their jobs is to ask them!
