conflicts and issues are taking place in organization for resolving them they need to be take some
actions and provide some recommendation of that issues to overcome that situation (McQuaid,
Green, and Danson, 2013).

Engaging of co-workers: At Hilton hotel, some unique and innovative idea's of
employees are actively collaborate with other employees because they share experience,
knowledge and working atmosphere of that organization to achieve ultimate goals.
1.4
By considering Maslow Hierarchy Theory which is important way through which all
employees can fulfill their needs because in this theory all factors from top to bottom level are
covered by evaluating of all these influences that are psychological need, safety need,social need,
esteem need and self actualization need (Jain, 2013). Moreover, in motivating of human resource
6

of organization this theory plays great role because management tries to motivate their
employees as per their need and demand which are raised social factors. If employee need
financial help and management provide on time through this they get motivated and will work
more effectively. Most of employees consist of same demand therefore, management need to
keep all factors ready through which they are motivated and work efficiently. At lower level
money is most important factor because through it all essential needs can be fulfilled. There are
some more factors which help in motivating of employees that are:
Providing transportation facilities: Transportation is major problem of employees
because many employees does not have four vehicle so they cannot travel far at Hilton Hotel.
Therefore, by providing of transportation facilities staff get motivated this is also a type of non-
monitory motivation (Yang, Cheung, and Fang, 2015).

they get motivated and many work in achieving of ultimate goals which are set by manager of
organization. Through, evaluating last month performance of employees best performer are

2.1
Problem can be solve by describing and observing of wrong things and by taking
corrective action regarding that problem. Moreover, if complex situation arises than management
need to solve problem by including of process i.e. through identifying problem, service quality
assurance and risk management. At Hilton hotel, initiative in problem solving is most important
task and aspect because to solve problem and issues some action are to be considered therefore,
through this workplace environment will be more effective and employees will work by there
willingness. Problem solving is very important part of organization because sometime problem
are not solve by higher level therefore, professionals are hired in solving out issues (Dawson,
Madera, Neal, and Chen, 2014). It is very crucial to understand role and environment of
7

workplace which are taking place by employees and staff of that organization. Through several
ways problems can be solve at workplace which is follow:
In time contingency: When employees and staff of organization are require to solve non
standardizes situation which may arise any time.
Using reassessment of equipment: In organization management need to provide all
equipment's after checking and they need to be maintain on time to time basis.

and resolution of issues and conflicts which are taken place in working environment.
Understanding: It can be termed as the fist process in which problem is identified and
understood.

deal with the problem and overcome the same in the best possible manner.
Solutions with alternative: In this stage, Hilton hotel seeks and evaluate various alternative
avalaiable through which the problem can be solved in the best possible manner.
Implementation with best option: Here the best option available among all is implemented with
an objective to overcome the issue identified.
Monitoring and review – It is the last stage in problem solving process in which monitoring and
review is carried out to identify whether the alternative selected has provided with desired results
or not. In case of gap between desired and actual outcome, corrective measures are required to be
taken by Hilton hotel.
Through various communication channels such as Verbal and non-verbal communication
and through body structure these also are crucial therefore, this will increase in awareness that
may cause primary concentration by expressing views through message (Becker, and Wang,
2016). Moreover, by involving of body language body gesture and postures are involved.
However, it can be argued that more specific problems which have been faced by Hilton
hotel are mentioned below as;
 Staff turnover – Over the past few years, the rate of staff turnover in the selected business
enterprise has been increased drastically. This is a problem because the hotel is investing
large amount of time and resources in hiring workers and providing training to them.
8

After this when employee leave their job, it creates loss for the business. The best
possible solution to overcome this problem is of developing and implementing effective
reward system. This will create sense of satisfaction among employees and will
encourage them to stay for long run.
 Ineffective communication- Lack of proper communication is another major problem
which has been faced by Hilton hotel. This is a problem because lack of communication
has resulted in creating obstacles in understanding changing need of customers and
offering services according to the same. The solution to this problem is implementing
open communication process and using more effective channels of communication.
2.2
Communication is very important from all aspect in determining of organizational
success because through communication organizational can develop circle. At Hilton Hotel,
employ-ability skills are mostly related to communication. For job practices four crucial issues
are been involved that are to read, to write, to speak and to listen. At organization
communication shapes to get job result which might help in creating protection of documents for
expanding of their businesses. Modules of policy need to read by interpreting and through
explanation of documentation.
Basically communication is not easy task because it consist of different stages and levels
for overcoming, so management need to settle proper communication channel and fundamentals
of working environment (Ruetzler, Baker, Reynolds, Taylor, and Allen, 2014). With help of
clear communication channels firm can perform well because in clear communication
performance of employee and staff increases therefore, at different levels varied communication
technique could be adopted by top management and top authority of Hilton Hotel. In addition to
this, it is clear that size and structure of hotel does not matter in selecting of appropriate
communication style and media moreover, higher authority are communicated with board of
company by doing meeting and including of formal session within workplace. Further, middle
managers get information through seminars and conferences while, involving of these useful
techniques they need to establish communication with them.
Now a days for communication organization are using commonly and trusted i.e. media
because it is very easy to communicate at large level by involving of this channel (Juhdi, and
9

Hashim, 2013). However, Hilton Hotel, managers highly believe by ensuring of genuineness
communication through it large number of customer are targeted.
The process of communication occurs at three different levels which are mentioned below as:
Management level – In order to pass information and carry out communication at management
level, both formal and informal channels can be used. Here, the communication can be done
through emails, phones and conferences.
Strategic level- here only formal communication process can be used in order to pass information
from one person to another. The ways that can be used here are letters, conferences and
meetings.
Operational level – In order to pass information and carry out communication at operational
level, informal and formal both channels can be used. Furthermore, the ways that can be
implemented here includes posters, websites and emails.
2.3
Effective time management strategies involve of logical and disciplined approach
therefore, there is various requirement in focusing of dairy time management. Specially in
employ-ability skill involve of effective time management because it consist of planning and
organizing for effective developed in workplace. At Hilton hotel, it help in remembering
important activities that may require to do on priority basis. Further, in case of busy schedule
management as well as employee need to focus on dairy management because task are to be
written and mentioned on that book only therefore, they need to avoid in procrastinating in time
management strategies (Baker, 2014). At Hilton hotel, it is very crucial to get equally significant
by ensuring that people need adequate amount of time in completion of their task which are
given by top management. Employees trend to finish job on time and try to never postponed to
other day for that issues which are not reasonable.
Thus, it allows management in utilizing their proper time in efficient and effective way so
that ultimate goals and targets can be reached out and fulfilled by employees. Furthermore, it
allows them in managing of their burden and help in doing work quickly therefore, time
management strategies involve employee and staff in breaking of large task into small sections
through this work can be done efficiently. It also help in providing of useful piece of information
about urgency and toughness of task which are given to organization at individual levels (Sisson,
10

and Adams, 2013). Accordingly, time are allocated for particular task by involving of proper
time management strategies for accurate results which employees have performed in their task.
Managing diaries is also another way for effective time management. Keep and manage
appointments can help manage people work load and one can perform effectively. Managing
diaries can also help understand the time constraints to each activity in the organization on daily
basis and this also help setting up priorities to different working activities, such as which activity
needs more attention and which one can have some delays to execute. Work delegation and
another effective tool for time management. Successful managers knows the importance of time
and that is why they work to develop delegation skills among all team members. And this will
help managers to concentrate on other important activities within the organization and allows
them to think strategically to help decision making process.

Therefore, these function are separated into three major parts that are action oriented role,

Formal and informal teams:
It can be stated that there are certain formal and informal teams operating in Hilton hotel.
Furthermore, formal team is being developed by the hotel for a specific purpose and with an

reliable services to clients.

Team is regarded as an association of people who work together to achieve a common
aim and objective of the team (Slater, 2010). Teams are generally formed for numerous purposes
and at Hilton hotel, teams are formed on the basis of formal and informal aspects. When people
work in a team, they have to consider a lot of things and they should also emphasize on shared
roles and responsibilities (Raybould and Sheedy, 2005). Team dynamics is a very important
aspect of Hilton hotel because it can have a big impact on productivity of the hotel. However,
most of the time team dynamics are neglected and ignored. This can have a significant impact
on the way a team works and it is also affecting Hilton hotel in many ways (Fallows and Steven,
2000). Apparently, team building is considered as a never ending process because it involves
range of people and efforts in meeting organizational aims and objectives.
When the employees of Hilton hotel needs to manage complex work processes, then they
should work in teams as it can help them to achieve objectives in proper way. Team dynamics
