You are an independent consultant who has recently been hired by JCs Casino to help improve retention issues concerning the dealers and housekeepers. Most of the dealers have been leaving the casino to work at other casinos in the area, even though JCs Casino pays better than their local competition. On several exit interviews, many of the dealers have cited the pit boss, Joe, as being toxic, overbearing, evil, and incompetent. Joe is the casino owners step-son and the HR director, Tom Sneed, is afraid to confront the owner.Among the housekeeping staff, there has been an above normal rate of absenteeism and high turnover of rooms. Many of the managers who work in accounting, payroll, and other departments have had to ask their full-time employees to help cover for housekeeping by cleaning rooms periodically. Because of this problem, the hotel has had to adjust their check in times from 3 p.m. (the industry standard) to 6 p.m. Customers have arrived earlier and the hotel has had to accommodate them by creating a room to hold luggage. They have also had to hire staff to man the luggage room.The director of housekeeping, Andrew Keehn, has been working hard to add more staff but he states good help is hard to find. The housekeepers current hourly wage is comparable to other casinos in the area but because of the staffing shortage, the housekeepers have to clean more rooms per day than their counterparts. The casino owner only knows that there are some issues with keeping the dealers and that some customers were upset because they had to wait to check in. You have been hired for a quick fix and your suggestions were needed yesterday.
