“IF YOU WISH TO MOVE MOUNTAINS
TOMORROW,
YOU MUST START BY LIFTING STONES
TODAY”
This blog became active this year, 2017. It had been dormant for sometime.
As a Certified Hospitality Educator, I intended the blog to serve as a platform to share concerns and observations on the hospitality industry in Ghana, from the perspective of hospitality employees/personnel. I had read several articles on the industry from the points of view of guests/customers, a few on owner/investors but hardly any from the point of view of the workforce. Having worked through the rungs, beginning as a front desk clerk, I thought I could carry the voice of hotel personnel.
My approach has been to set alerts and offer critiques with the aim of generating relevant
discussions and hopefully motivate members in the hospitality fraternity.
My goal this year was to touch down on every department of a typical hotel; the front office, housekeeping, maintenance, food and beverage service, kitchen operations, finance, administration and human resource. I did not quite cover as much as I planned since there was a 2-month break period and shortfalls of planned articles during some of the months.
Do find below a summary of the articles shared beginning with the latest:
The quotation I started this article with is an African proverb.
The articles discussed are the ‘stones’ I have picked up with the hope of one day moving some mountains. Of course that cannot be done alone. You are an integral part to ‘this journey’ to achieve the vision of moving mountains.
Assessing how far I have come, I must confess I am yet to generate the much needed discourse required to move a mountain, much more MOUNTAINS!
I do look forward to engaging you, my readers better in 2018. I would therefore appreciate your comments and views on the blog; from the structure of the design, to content, to frequency of new articles e.t.c. Suggested subjects would also be considered as long as they will fulfill the objective spelt out above.
I am aware December is full of activities for hospitality personnel. I am therefore closing up for the year. I cease this opportunity to wish you all a Meaningful and Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2018.
Thank you for being a loyal reader and request that you invite fellow hospitality personnel to visit this blog in 2018.
