guest and a host, or the act or practice of being hospitable.
Specifically, this includes the reception and entertainment of
guests, visitors, or strangers,resorts, membership clubs,
conventions, attractions, special events, and other services for

"Hospitality" can also mean generously providing care and
kindness to whoever is in need.The hospitality industry is vast and
very diverse. Any time people travel, stay in a hotel, eat out, go
to the movies, and engage in similar activities, they are
patronizing establishments in the hospitality industry. The
management of such establishments is very challenging, as managers
need to be flexible enough to anticipate and meet a wide variety of
needs. They must also handle tasks such as training employees,
handling staff, setting standards, and so forth.3.2 Meaning of
Hospitality
The word hospitality derives from the Latinword hospes, which is
formed fromhostis, which originally meant a (to have power). The
meaning of "host" can be literally read as "lord of
strangers."hostiremeans equalize or compensate.
In the Homeric ages, hospitality was under the protection of
Zeus, the chief deity of the Greek pantheon. Zeus was also
attributed with the title 'Xenios Zeus' ('xenos' means stranger);
emphasizing the fact that hospitality was of the utmost importance.
A stranger passing outside a Greek house could be invited inside
the house by the family. The host washed the stranger's feet,
offered food and wine, and only after the guest was comfortable
could ask his or her name.

hospitality operations including hotels, restaurants, amusement
parks, destination marketing organizations, convention center,
country clubs, and related industries.

The Engineering Department has a great importance for
Hospitality Industry that is actually controlling the electricity,
generators, chillers, boilers. The functions and duties of Chief
Engineer, his staff, and the engineering department have been
relegated to the subconscious of hotel management and certainly of
the hotel guests. The only time the functions of engineering
department became noticeable was on those unhappy occasions when
something went wrong with one of the building systems and guests
and or management were in convinced. The role and mandate of any
property engineering department is the protection of the
buildings/owners assets; the structure from the faade or building
envelope, to the integrity of the floors, walls, ceilings and all
of the furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) contained
therein. This includes the electrical transformers and the
distribution throughout, the domestic water distribution and
sewage, the heating-ventilation-air conditioning system, (HVAC),
the fire alarm system and fire safety components, the vertical
transportation system (elevators), the property surroundings like
parking and landscaping and pest control. Utility management such
as electrical, gas, steam, water. A hotel is a plant encompassing a
myriad of facilities and services and it is imperative that all
those elements work smoothly and in cohesion to ensure that the
guests have a comfortable and safe stay. Although hidden behind the
scenes and rarely feted, a hotels Engineering Division performs an
invaluable role in the equation. With the evolution of hotel
building design and the ever growing range of features and
facilities being incorporated in hotels, the scope of the
engineering function in hotels is expanding exponentially. The
engineering department has to keep records and maintain the smooth
functioning of the equipment without any hassle or disturbance to
the guest. They are on call 24 hours of the day, and have to ensure
that the technical side of the hotel is looked after. Each day
routine checks are done, and the staff walkthrough the entire hotel
premises on regular basis, for inspection and attention. Chief
Engineer is entrusted to oversee the engineering staff, and they
are entrusted with different aspects and operations of the hotel
machinery and equipment. The other departmental heads of the hotel
are expected to inform the chief engineer, in the case of any need
of repair or maintenance. Engineering department has categorized
their work in two ways; Preventive maintenance and scheduled
maintenance. In preventive maintenance the department sees to
timely inspection of the machinery, shutting down blocks of guest
rooms and other areas periodically for refurbishment.
13.1 Front Office, I.T and Exchange Department
The Front Office is the nerve center of a hotel. Members of the
front-office staff welcome the guests, carry their luggage, and
help them register, give them their room keys and mail, answer
questions about the activities in the hotel and surrounding area,
and finally check them out. In fact, the only direct contact most
guests have with hotel employees, other than in the restaurants, is
with members of the front-office staff.The front office functions
can be divided such as Reception, Bell service, mail and
information. The main function is that they are performing to
reserve rooms online for their guests.The Information technology
department has also great importance in Hotel because there is also
need to interconnect with all the systems in such a way with one
main server of the Hotel. There was a Munshi server in Ramada
hotels it department through which all the systems were
controlling. The Munshi server was using as the back up of all the
data of Hotels computers. When ever they feel some problem with
some viruses in the systems and data destruction then they can
easily another copy from that main server named as Munshi. The
internet facility is also provided to all the department of the
hotels with high speed. There was also the main function of that
department to networking with the computer systems of the
departments. Information technology department is one that has
great importance for the hotel because world is global now and
every business is basing on I.T. They are using different types of
electronics and computer is pretty much important in every sort of
business. In Ramada hotel the facility of computer with internet,
scanner, and printer is provided to all the guests. Who wants to
use that there is separate room available to use it and all the
computers of different departments are connected with each other
but controlling main server named as Munshi. The exchange
department has also very important for the hotel because it
provides facility of communicating telephone. Actually, they are
controlling to transfer the calls with in the boundary of the hotel
and connecting the calls outside the hotels towards the different
people. Even they can record the calls of every day. Mostly they
are controlling the calls those are using with in the boundary of
the hotel among all the departments on daily basis.

the daily purchase of different things such as food items, meats,
vegetables, and other different products such as computers,
medicines, and other necessary things required to different
departments, they also contact to purchase department for that. But
there is need to make PR (purchase requisition) that is issued by
the purchase department to all the departments. The main function
of the purchase department is to bargain with different shops for
the required products and then products are being purchased by the
purchase department and there is also a major link of the purchase
department with the finance department who is actually controlling
all the cash. All the things come at first in this department and
then send them towards different departments as per their
requirements.

at the operational level, their salaries are not that attractive
compared with that of certain other industries. This may make it
difficult to attract employees for such positions.
3. Due to the non-essential nature of this type of service to a
potential customer, this would be one of the first areas that would
be cut back at a time of recession or economic downturn.
16.3 Social/Cultural
1. The lifestyle change which is growing among certain sections
of the middle class as well as the upper class.
2. As hotels benefit from holidaying the extent to which people
take holidays and their ability to get off from work for such
holidays will have a direct bearing on the demand experienced by an
organization such as Ramada.
3. As hotels consume a large amount of resources such as water,
soap, detergents as well as cause a fair amount of pollution (from
water, leftover food, use of strong detergents), there exists a
fair amount of pressure to be green especially by Environmental
pressure groups.
4. Employment of the employees may effect due to the change of
corporate culture.5. As traveling for a holiday is seen as
non-essential travel. Some may opt not to engage in leisure travel
especially where air travel is involved.
16.4 Technological
1. The hotel industry is seen as utilizing an increasing amount
of technology with a view of achieving greater customer
satisfaction.
2. It can be seen that customers, even potential customers
extensively use online information sources including reviews and
comments by previous customers when making their own choice about
holidays and places to visit.
3. The use of technology and other advanced techniques can be
useful in managing the consumption of resources such as water and
electricity which are resources that are extensively used in this
industry. e.g: Power Factor Corrections, recycling water.4. The
increasing use of IT/IS can help in improving the information
available for management decision making which will also allow the
organization to better plan its future activities and events.
17.1 My Activities
During my initial meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of
the Hotel Mian Faisal, He asked me about my specialization in MBA.
I told him that my specialization is in Human Resource Management
so he asked me to do the internship in the HR department of their
Hotel. I had to carry out most of the activities as HR Officer was
also new to the job. Following is a brief summary of my
activities:
I joined HR department of Ramada Multan on June 17, 2010.
The Staff in HR department included HR Manager and Assistant HR
Manager said that you are a part of our HR department as HRO and my
responsibilities included:-
1. Deal with discipline matters as per the direction of HR
Manager which normally included preparation & processing of
warning letters for defaulters and maintaining their records.
2. Preparation and issuance of show cause/ Explanation letters
and is a part of the inquiry team and suggesting measures to
resolve the matter.
3. Recommend and process promotion/increment in pay of employees
in the light of company policy and managements direction.
4. Assist in recruitment and selection of various employees to
include:
5. Initial interview to prepare his profile for subsequent
selection process. 6. Issue appointment letter to the successful
candidates and guide him to the department and the job he was
selected for.
7. Maintain personal data of all employees of the organization
containing the following documents. Personal Bio data Sheet of
every employee requires following.a. 3 Recent Photographs b. Copy
of CNIC8. Guarantor form stamped by Councilor/ Nazim of the area is
required. In case of employee who is actually working under finance
department then guarantor form will be on the stamp paper. 9.
Previous Experience Certificates (If any) 10. Qualification
Certificates.
11. To ensure that the concerned departmental head submit
performance appraisal of probationary employees at the end of
probation period to enable HR department decide about the status of
employee (Permanent or otherwise).
12. Process release/resignation of employees resigned from the
job and preparation of final settlement.
13. Plan relief and rotation of employees working in various
shifts.
14. Keep an up to date attendance record of employees on daily
basis. I used to enter the absentees, leaves, day offs, suspensions
(if any) of employees in the computer software basing on that daily
report.
15. Keep an up to date leave record of employees according to
their terms of employment. There were three types of workers
working in the hotel. Firstly, Permanent employees, secondly, Daily
Wages Employees and lastly Temporary Employees or Employees on
trial base. According to their employment type they were granted
leaves. The leaves given could be sick leave, casual leave, special
leave, short leave and if an employee has been working for more
than a year then he is eligible for 15 earned leaves but for
executive. 16. At the start of each month a list is printed from
the software which contains the birthdays of employees during that
month. On the birthday that employee is given a birthday cake of
two pounds from the hotels bakery free of cost. This offer is valid
only for Permanent Employees and Employees on daily wages.
17. The salary period of the hotel is from 26th of every month
to 25th of the next month. On 26th of every month time office
register was sent to the HR department which contained number of
days of all employees which they worked in that month. This we had
to tally with the number of days of employees already entered in
the software (as in the software we daily record the absent, leave
record of every employee). Once both records matches we process the
salary towards finance department which after further processing
distribute the cheques on 2nd of every month.
18. I also prepared memos ordered by GM to HR Manager and after
preparing them they were dispatched to the department heads. 19.
File management was also part of my duties. I had to maintain
following files: a. CVs files according to the skills, education
etc. b. I had to place the warning letters, appreciation letters,
increment/promotion letters, resignations, final settlements etc.
c. Performance appraisal file. 20. In file management I was given a
task by HR manager to check the department wise files and check
whether files were complete as per requirement i.e. they had all
the required necessary papers of employees. The Head of department
of employees with missing papers were informed about that and they
were ordered to submit the papers.
21. I was also responsible for allocating employees, lockers
where they could keep their personal things.
22. On daily basis security report to be checked, given by the
security officers and to be given to HR Manager.
23. Transferring of employees from one department to the
other.
24. I issued uniform slips to the employees such as security
officers, drivers, kitchen cleaners, dish washers, waiters.
18.1 What I learnt?
Following are few things which I think I learned after working
in the organization: 1. I learnt how to work efficiently to the
entire satisfaction of my superiors.
2. I got great experience while interviewing candidates.
3. I became bit expert in writing warning letters, appreciation
letters, memos, increment/promotion letter, show cause letters and
also writing letters to clients.
4. HR department in any organization has great nuisance value.
This is one department on which everybody looks upon for solutions
of various personal and professional matters.
5. I learned how to be polite with all employees and at the same
time encouraging & motivating them.
6. I was also part of conflict resolution committees and
inquiries which helped me a lot to understand how to listen to both
parties and in decision making.
7. I learnt how to be tactful in performing some unpleasant
duties.
8. I learnt about the difficulties and problems of
employees.
9. I learnt about the problems of practical life. 10. I learnt
how to attend professional meetings.
19.1 Suggestions for the Organization
Following are a few suggestions for the organization:
1. Organization culture needs to be friendlier and more
democratic.
2. Pays of employees should be according to the market.
3. Food quality to be improved.
4. They can have a bar b que introduced on their pool site
during the nights.
5. Air conditioning system needs to be improved.
6. Monthly or quarterly performance based rewards or incentives
to be given to employees in order to get them motivated more
towards their work.
7. System of bonuses to be introduced on Eid.
8. Rooms of the hotel to be more innovated.
9. Ethical lectures to be arranged for all employees once in two
months.
10. They should have more structured training & development
system in each and every department.
11. Providing job security to employees.
12. Employees who work overtime they should be paid
accordingly.
13. MOD (Manager on Duty) at night should have the facility to
take dinner in the restaurant of hotel as he is not paid extra for
that duty. 14. They have to make more employee involvement
more.
15. Hajj or Umrah policy needs to be introduced.
16. They have to raise pay more according to the competitive
market.
If I were the Manager there?
If I be the manager there then I would have carried out
following tasks on priority basis:1. Re-design the recruitment and
selection criteria in order to have the best men working in the
organization.
2. Improve the incentives and compensation system.
3. Re-design the Training & Development aspect of every
department.
4. Improve working conditions for the employees.

6. Rewards to motivate the employees. 7. I prefer to conduct the
meetings two times in a week.
