Action Plan

Networking is very important to the advancement in the workplace and the advancement in personal relationships with others in the workplace. These relationships will follow an employee in their career pursuit and can be very fulfilling when the perceptions of the employee are positive. Developing a network of people in the workplace starts the first day of employment within that industry. At the Hyatt Regency Phoenix these impressions were made for me the first day that I started as a convention services houseman. Building on dedication to my industry I have networked with professional leaders in my industry. I have built the perception of being dedicated and diligent in every aspect of my job. These traits have led me in developing my own concepts and ideas on how situations and problems can be resolved in the most efficient manner possible. With the help of the professional leaders that I have made positive impression I have developed ways in which to handle arising problems from past experiences and actions taught by these leaders.

The next step in developing a longer lasting professional relationship with management leaders at the Hyatt Regency Phoenix is to convey the ability to handle situations that test the knowledge that have been learned in the field. These situations and the details of how they are handled need to be conveyed to the managers and an assessment on how the problem or situation was resolved. From this point the manager can further my professional career by providing constructive criticism that details how situations can be handled in a more efficient manner.

The plan to show more involvement and further my networking within the Hyatt Regency Phoenix is to attend every food and beverage meeting that is open for me to attend. When attending these meeting it is crucial to offer constructive comments and situational circumstances and ways to resolve these problems. Providing this knowledge of the hotel and issues that are affecting the hotel provides management with the certainty of my commitment within the industry. Addressing the issues will also show my development from an hourly employee to a supervisor and now with the mindset of a manager. The mindset of a manager needs to focus on the long term goals and issues that have a positive impact on the outlet it involves. The mindset from a supervisor to a manager transforms goals from just operation output on a daily basis to a long term beneficial plan for the department that is being operated within.

Showing the understanding of the hotel and the and the hotels operations will lay the platform to apply for Hyatt’s corporate management program. The networking and manager referrals will provide the evidence that I am capable and prepared to take on the manager role. The next chance to apply into the corporate management program is July. Although the economic situation limits the amount of interns they can except my chances are boosted since I have built the network within Hyatt that are essential in becoming a manager. These are my plans in advancement in the Hyatt hotels by following these points of improvement I can boost my chances of placement within the program.
