Creating an Entrepreneurial Mindset for your Employees

It is not every business that is able or willing to ask their employees to find faults with their work environment. But the Vineyard is encouraging all their employees to look for areas of frustration , anger and fear amongst their staff and guests and then do something about it. We together with Teen Entrepreneur have been busy running a series of workshops for the Vineyard staff this month on how to “Turn Pain into Gain” through an Entrepreneurial Mindset.

Session of up to 25 staff have work shopped areas of frustration in the hotel and then worked through these to a viable solution that can be presented back to management with a feasible solution. The response has been very positive with some great ideas already resented back to managers and in the process of implementation. Staff have also been empowered to take any issue forward together with a viable solution to management using the new defined processes and forms. A recognition process for staff for implemented solutions is also being looked at.

What a privilege it has been to work with such a forward looking and proactive company. We are looking for ways to roll this type of workshop into other hospitality businesses as well as into other sectors.  If you are interested in learning more about this process and how it could benefit your business, then please contact us here.
