Last year economy was very strong and nearly every part of it the company was doing very well room occupancy was very good we had lots of party booking however things change now because of the reaction we have to reduce our staff from almost every department we are hiring the skill worker in less pay but most skill worker if you pay them less then they don’t work for the company for longer periods so this the problem for the organisation because again we need to give them training and it takes little time to understand their own duties.

Technological – Before Washington Mayfair hotel was having a very Morden technological instrument especially in the kitchen, concierge and in the house keeping department but now these instrument is not up to date because the hotel cant sped too much money on repairing these machines the use of technology impact on employ hire example Apple Mac book due to the internet people can search the job online for the relevant jobs so it again effects the hotel .people can book the room online

The hotels suffer the quality of labour for example kitchen department the sociological factor such as demographic change in age and gender. Number of working affecting the Washington Mayfair hotel.

The four manpower demand factor –

Future expansion- According to me Washington hotels future plane expansion to expand their property by 2012 so the supply will increase to meet the supply the demand needs to be there The human resources manager need to hire the new staff to met the supply and demand factor in future.

Customer demand – As there are the major events in London such as Olympic common wealth, so the customers supply will be huge to meet this customer expectation an organisation needs to hire highly skill staff that will be future demand factor

Internal demand – The internal factor are those with the manager or senior member can apply to the organization for the manpower demand for future. The food and beverage manager need the staff to work the hard for the long hour to meet the expectation of customer. In this case manager can demand the staff for future.

Economy factor- the most common factor is economy has major labour turnover over the period of time. The recession has been stable from 2010 according to the newspaper from evening standard stated that the growth has grown of 0.5 upward because of that the average spending power has been gone up. This economy can growth can give the business to hospitality and can raise average spending power of customer.

The supply and demand are the inversely related with each other. The supply goes high the demand also raise to meet the expectation from of the customer. To meet the strategic plan for future the organization need to hire the staff meet the organization of hotel. When the supply is low the demand goes down directly has the organization has to plan for the training and development in organization to raise the supply factor

Effect of labour turn over on organisation – Because of the labour turn over organisation has to face some problem like they have to reduce the staff because of cost cutting again hire new staff and give them proper training that training can cost to the company also skill workers they don’t work for less pay so they don’t work with such organisation who pays less the reason for that all new employees are not skill and not highly experiences so it automatically drop the organisation business and their future plan. The cost increase of the employer such as advertised and hiring process.

Retention plan – exit the interviews immediately before the staff leave the organisation. It can give the complete details information the cause of staff turnover and can be the channel for the introduction of new initiative

The payment systems can be unsuitable or not match up to that offered by the competition we need to give good payment to the staff

The working hour may not be good or not suitable for some individual staff. We need to adjust the working timing according to the staff the nature of the work or the way it organised some time it can be boring.

The management process may be too lengthy because if you are hiring the new staff and the organisation process is too length then it can cause the delay in requiting the new staff
