The foodservice industry weathered one of the most challenging times during and after the pandemic. The industry had to reinvent every aspect of its operations to stay in business. While innovation and creativity were in play, the reality is sadly, many operations did not make it. Other contributing factors were “the great resignation”, “quiet quitting” and a new generation entering the workforce with very different values from previous generations. Now what?
Business operations are seemingly back to normal and yet great employees seem harder to attract and retain. If this sounds like a situation you are facing, this book is for you.
This book provides practical tools and gap analysis to reimagine today’s foodservice workforce and what matters to them.
This complete guide will show you how to recruit, retain, and reimagine a new type of workforce.
The purpose of this book is to develop a plan for your successful transition from incarceration to living a full and productive life post-release. Ideally, the process of getting ready for the transition starts six months prior to your release. The ideal structure is for you to have a mentor and go through this program every week while still in prison and twelve weeks post-incarceration. The objective is to reduce recidivism by addressing community-reintegration issues and providing a structure for transition success. In other words, to keep you from returning to prison by helping you build a successful life as you address typical problems in the free world outside of the prison walls! The book provides some prework to get you ready to reach out to a mentor. Once you are ready, you and your mentor will meet weekly to discuss the chapter. The design of the book is to provide you with an opportunity to work on life and employability skills. Finally, a checklist and templates are provided to ensure post-release readiness. By the grace of God, most people have not been incarcerated and probably cannot imagine how their life would have turned out if they had gone to prison. It is my prayer that if you or your family member or a church partner are reading this book, they will believe you are worth it and want to reinvest in you to give you a second chance. We all deserve a second chance. Certainly, God has provided for a lifetime of chances!
