7. Ability to Overcome Resistance to do Manual or
Menial Work
For all the hotel staff “menial” jobs are part of
their normal work. This follows from the fact that
in this industry, service is of the outmost
importance and hence everyone must involve
himself in achieving that objective. This would
mean that right from the general manager to the
utility worker, everyone is actually serving the
guest in one way or the other.

Menial Work
To ensure a proper attitude to
menial tasks, the trainer at times
may himself have to do the work

important of his job and made to
realize that the hotel cannot run
without the essential services that
he provides
