Summary

ROZMARIN SMILES !

Hotel Rozmarin is part of a greater company called SC PIMEN TIMPA SA. Established in 1990, “Timpa SA” is a stock base company with private capital entirely Romanian, having as activity fields commerce, services and tourism. Located in Predeal on Prahova Valley the hotel has three stars.

The number of employees working in the hotel varies between 60 and 80 depending of the number of guests that the hotel has. During the high season (December/February) the number of employees is around 80. The permanent staff is made out of 60 persons.

Hotels logo „Continues the tradition” is perfectly illustrated in the quality of services provided to the guests. The young, professional management team is results orientated offering good services at affordable prices (extras from the opinions of clients).

Among the identified problems at the level of CSR, our team discovered:

- lack of supplementary benefits - the amount of participation given by employees in decision

making - weak communication between various departments

After discussing with the CSR team, formed inside the hotel, as well as with the management, we managed to identify some of possible solutions. We insisted from the beginning on the creativity of the CSR team from Rozmarin, bearing in mind the fact that they will remain after the consultants will finish.

One of the most successful and well seen option, by all the employees, was the supplementing of the MUTUAL AID FUND already existing at the level of employees) with the hotel participation. This allowed the employees to get more money after contributing during a year and since we decided that only the staff with more than 3 years within the hotel can attend, it will offer the possibility of increasing the level of stability inside the staff.

In order to address the problem of low implication of the employees in decision making the management team decided to cooperate with the CSR team from the hotel in various fields like : drawing up and analysing the surveys for the customer( so far only the management made them and the results were highly centralized), they were allowed to attend the departmental meetings (by rotation a member of an another department could attend the meeting of an another than his own), identifying with the management of the employees needs.

We also agreed on reforming the „Employee of the month” system, allowing the members of each department to vote for the person who will be granted this title. Under the new conditions, the opinion of the colleagues will count 50% when selecting the „Employee of the month .

At the parties organised by the hotel the employees family will be invited also, allowing them to better interact between each other. In order to raise the cohesion between them we challenged the employees to find a special cookie, to be offered for free to the guests.

The implementation of the options will continue after finishing the consultancy period and it will be made by the CSR team formed inside.

2.7 Issues related to collaborators

For recruiting the staff the management is directly responsible. They announce the free working places at the Regional Employment agency every month and based on the needs in the local media. After receiving the CV’s for the available positions the selected persons are invited to an interview. In the recruitment commission attends the general manager, the HR manager of the entire company and the chief of department where the position is available. After the interview the person is tested and he/she will be hired for a limited period (3 months).At the end of this period the person is evaluated by the chief of department and recommended for an unlimited period employment.

When entering the department, the new-entry is being trained personally by the chief of department regarding its duties, responsibilities and facilities offered by the hotel to the employees. The facilities provided to employees are: a hot meal, fidelity percentage according to the period of activity within the hotel Rozmarin structure, half of the costs of transportation paid by the company.

The evaluation is made periodically by the chief of departments and by the general manager of the complex. There is a promotion system based on fidelity within the company and respect to the core values of it (professionalism, customer care etc).

In case of dismissal and separation a final interview is conducted personally by the general manager in order to seize the reasons of the departure

2.7.1 Communication, Management style

The communication is very important and the general manager and all department managers have weekly meetings every Monday.

The general manager practice open door policy and every staff member can discus with him.

As result of this policy and management style is the good working atmosphere even dough the volume of work is big.

18.04.2023

Page 27: CSR Report ROZMARIN1 Forma de Trimis Final

26 IPA report for Hotel Rozmarin

2.7.2 Policy / Code of conduct

The hotel has a code of conduct generally valid for the entire staff from general manager to the last position. The code of conduct is presented from the interview phase and then developed by the chief of department.

The code of conduct, made out with respect to the Labor Code- mainly refers to: obligations of the employers and of the employees, how the work is organized (duration of the working day, beginning of the shifts, supplementary hours, programming of the holidays), defending the prestige of the company and the confidentiality convention, norms of hygiene and work security, work discipline and penalties.

The code was made in 2004 and updated with the approval of the Board of Directors. The employees are consulted in case of change of the document during their bi-annual meeting with the General Manager of the entire company (Pimen SA). Usually the employees are introduced with its application from their first day and the middle management is responsible for applying it, under the supervision of the general manager.

Support received for doing the job 22 positive/ 5 negative ; priority 3,05

Current career opportunities 15 positive/8 negative ; priority 2,74

Training provided 27 positive/ 2 negative; priority 3,42

The general manager has daily meetings with the chief of departments and also periodical meetings with all the employees. During these meetings a subject on the agenda makes reference to the degree of employee’s satisfaction. Starting with this year, team building had been conducted outside the hotel with the help of professional companies (1st one in April). However, it is hard to find a period when all the stuff can be involved in team building activity. An entire shift can’t be sent to training, (from one department) because the hotel has a constant number of clients.

The management is preoccupied with the staff satisfaction considering that a happy person in hospitality industry equals a happy customer. The General Manager is perceived by the staff as an authoritarian person, but fair when it comes to decision-making.

The General Management of the mother company (Timpa -Pimen) is holding regular meetings (once three months) in order to discuss the current problems of the hotel. Generally the employees are invited to discuss their problems but very few do it.

A large number of the present staff had been sent to training on different issues related to the improvement of their working skills.

Average working hours per week 72 hours/shift (12 hours – shift X 6 working days)

Average overtime per week 20 hours/shift /week ( 3,3 extra hours per shift)

Maximum overtime per week 24 hours/shift/week

Depending on each department there are different working hour arrangements. In general they work in shifts daily one for restaurant, kitchen, chambermaids and 12/24/12/48 for the reception. The overtime is generally being paid as half of the normal working hour. According to the Romanian Labor Code the extra-hours have to be paid with 75% of the value of a regular hour. We made a recommendation in this way to the management but they motivated that at the moment that is not possible. The staff has at least one day off per week.

The overtime varies depending on the season. One of the reasons for the staff turnover is considered to be the overtime. There were cases when people gave up the job even from the testing period due to the overtime.

Main suppliers / subcontractors

The only service subcontracted is the security of the company. The hotel preferred to subcontract the service because the company assures more security to the customers and to the personnel.

The security company is a local based one, used since the re-opening of the hotel.

For the electricity it is used the regional supplier while for the water the local company. The garbage is collected separately by the city hall of Predeal. The relations with all the subcontractors are based on contracts and they remain in the legal status. For each type of food product there are at least two suppliers in order to assure the freshness of the products and not to have pauses in the circuit of food. (all types of foods and beverages from the menu are available).

The hotel is inspected annually in order to maintain its 4 stars classification. The quality of the services is thoroughly monitored through the 30 seconds questionnaire. This instrument is offered to the group organizers and also to the private clients of the hotel. An analysis of this questionnaire is personally made by the General Manager who discusses them afterwards with the middle management. Every complaint- if any- is treated with professionalism in order to prevent further incidents.

The staff of the hotel has access to training courses, annually an important number of them attending these classes in order to raise their level of knowledge.

2.9 Community and authorities

The mother Company – Timpa Pimen is involved in community in Brasov (town situated at approximately 20 km from Predeal). In the last years the hotel had built a church in Brasov and in Predeal the hotel is offering its conference rooms at preferential rates to the local authority. This allows the Town Hall to organize different events of promoting the tourist attractions in the area of Predeal. Due to the cooperation between the Town hall of Predeal and the management of the hotel with the help of the local Info Touristic Center, the town succeeded in creating a good image of the resort.

The hotel management is also interested in linking with other hotels in order to create a professional organisation dedicated to the hospitality industry in the area. The purpose of this association will be the creation of various programs together with the city hall in order to increase the number of tourists in the Valea Prahovei area.

3 Synthesis – Identification and evaluation of options

The Identification of CSR options measures has been done during a brainstorming process of the CSR-team during the CSR Assessment using the cause and effect diagram ( Ishikawa diagram).

All identified options from the brainstorming process were categorized into a number of possible CSR interventions, which are:

(Employee) training

Information and communication (internal/external)

Engagement and dialogue

Policy development and implementation

Changes of procedures or the organisation

Subsequently the options were screened and grouped into:

1. Options which can be implemented immediately

2. Issues or options which need further analysis (audit, data collection, survey)

3. Options which were rejected for certain reasons

A table with all options categorized and screened is listed in chapter 3.1.

The economical and social benefit of the options, which can be implemented directly, is estimated in chapter 3.2.

Options which needed further analysis are assessed according to the economical, social and organizational feasibility in chapter .

3.1 Screening of identified options

The purpose of this sub-chapter is to present the screening of the CSR options. All the options identified during the brainstorming process had been listed and categorized into:

(Employee) training

- a special module of organisational culture, motivation of the employee and communication will be designed, developed and implemented by the two consultants with the help of the CSR team inside the hotel. The training addressed the needs of better communication between different departments and between employees and was delivered under the form of an interactive short course. The communication training agenda was presented and discussed together with the CSR team.

Information and communication (internal/external)

- Tools used to enhance communication: identifying a person in order to represent the interests of the employees in front of the management of the company. According to the Romanian legislation they should have workers representatives; previously this was done only formally that is why we proposed that the staff should elect someone. The decision will be taken on the basis of a short questionnaire (having as criteria: experience, qualification, initiative, sociability and representatively) which will be filled in by every employee; paper of different colours will be used for every department in order to grow the visibility of the inside announcements made by the management; redefining the periodical meetings so that the employees don’t fill under pressure during this events.

Engagement and dialogue

The company is determined to continue the CSR work and to keep active the CSR team already formed. The main attributions of this team will be: interface between the employee’s needs and the company’s interest, involvement in the selection of the employee of the month; at the moment the employee of the month is selected by the middle manager of each department after consultation with the general manager. The selection criteria refer to the relation with the customers, the number of extra hours done, relation with the managers and his colleagues. Another attribution of the CSR team inside the hotel will be the participation alongside with the management in drawing up

18.04.2023

Page 43: CSR Report ROZMARIN1 Forma de Trimis Final

42 IPA report for Hotel Rozmarin

and analyzing the surveys from customers- the results of the surveys will be presented during the periodical meetings and discussed with the employees; active participation in departmental meetings.

Policy development and implementation

Rozmarin hotel is going to introduce the possibility of starting a mutual aid fund which will address the employees. The fund is already existent at the time of our assessment but the employers ( the management team) wasn’t a part of it. What we proposed was the introduction of the hotel as player in this mutual fund in order to increase the sum of money that the employee can receive after one year contribution. According to our calculations, after the introduction of such measure, a contributor will be able to gain with 30% more than before.

In order to increase the personnel implication in the development of the company we have proposed to start a new complementary brand policy.

Main defining element: smile. The concept will be: Rozmarin smiles – find out now! Rozmarin kiss – discover now! The whole policy is going to be discussed together with the CSR team and representatives from each department. A new specific cake will be designed and offered free of charged to every visitor. The logo of the hotel can be changed so it can integrate a smile.

The Employee of the month – already existing, will be developed involving the personnel to decide the person who will receive this title.

Changes of procedures or the organisation

Every department will have its own colour in order to find out easily the important announcements made by the management. Also the procedures used within each department will be also printed on every departments colour.

At the daily meetings one employee will have the opportunity to share a personal story that will warm up the beginning of the meeting.

3.3 Further analysis of the issues and options

Some of the options found in the hotel such as: identifying a person to represent the interests of the employees and the establishment of a mutual aid fund having the hotel as player requires in-depth analysis. Together with the CSR formed team we developed those two options which were highly appreciated by the hotel management.

3.3.1 Option no 1 identifying a representative of the employees

Observations

At the moment of our assessment the communication between management and employees was done during the periodical meetings by listening to each employee’s opinion. Individuals presented their problem but seldom there was a general agreement. Everybody came with a problem but there wasn’t a single voice on behalf of the employees. Generally, during the meetings, when asked about a general problem no one spoke. Under these circumstances the communication process was only one way: from management to employees.

Description of option

Under these circumstances we discussed both with the management and with different employees about the possibility of having someone as informal leader. This person should play the role of an interface between the employees’ needs and management requirements. The person will be selected with the help of a questionnaire distributed and filled in by all employees. We are not going to ask them to indicate for names but for essential characteristics.

18.04.2023

Page 53: CSR Report ROZMARIN1 Forma de Trimis Final

52 IPA report for Hotel Rozmarin

Analyzing the responses inside the management team with the CSR team from the hotel we’ll try to identify the portrait of the workers representative. Of course, a meeting with all employees will be held and everyone will try to express their opinion about it and finally draw a short list of candidates. On the basis of employees vote a person will be assigned with this task of representation.

Economic feasibility and consequences

There will be no economical consequences for this option as long as the position will be a symbolic one, not paid. Our aim is not to create a union but to give the employees the possibility to have a spokesperson.

Social and organizational considerations and feasibility, influences on other stakeholder

Requirements :

- the staff representative will act as a “single voice” of all employees and as dialogue partner recognized by the company management. The elected person will cooperate with all departments in order to identify their problems and will communicate permanently with the management team.

Advantages :

- a more clear picture of the needs of the employees

- in cooperation with the CSR team and with the management the representative of the employees will attend the meetings when disciplinary measures will be taken or the decisions regarding the Employee of the month nominalization.

- The employees will have the possibility of expressing their interests in an unitary way

- The management team will have the time for accomplishing other duties instead of hearing the direct complaints of the employees.

- Staff will be easier to motivate if the elected person is well known for its performance in work and the capacity of solving problems.

18.04.2023

Page 54: CSR Report ROZMARIN1 Forma de Trimis Final

53 IPA report for Hotel Rozmarin

- It will create a precedent, since it’s a common fact that generally in tourism industry the voice of employees is rarely listened. – no active union in tourism industry .

3.3.2 Option no 2 establishment of a mutual aid fund having hotel as a player

Observations

The practice of a mutual aid fund (C.A.R.) exists at all levels in the Romanian companies. Therefore neither hotel Rozmarin is making any exception to the general rule.

Description of option

Introducing the hotel as a player inside this system will allow the other participants to receive a larger sum of money instead of the one they are receiving at the moment. The fund will be managed by the hotel and every employee with more than 4 years of activity will have the possibility of receiving a larger sum of money after contributing for at least one year.

Economic feasibility and consequences

This option will not involve a large sum of money from the part of the company. The exact amount will be fixed during the next meetings. One of the most important consequences will be growing the degree of fidelity of employees. Since one of the identified problems was the lack of supplementary benefits, this option can be seen as a certain solution to the mentioned problem.

18.04.2023

Page 55: CSR Report ROZMARIN1 Forma de Trimis Final

54 IPA report for Hotel Rozmarin

Social and organizational considerations and feasibility, influences on other stakeholder

Requirements:

- the fund will be deposited at a bank so that it could give the possibility of growing it not only through employees deposits but also through the interest offered by a bank

- a set of rules will be designed in order to make functional this project.

Advantages:

- the employees will have annually the possibility of receiving a larger sum of money.

- The fund can be a factor of growing the fidelity of the employees

- Staff motivation

3.4 Evaluation/priorization of options

Purpose of the evaluation step is to compare the feasibilities of the workable options in order to set priorities for the implementation of the most feasible ones. Based on the discussion in chapter 3.2. each option was assessed according to the rating scale with scores for social, economic, technical and organizational feasibility. This scale was set up by the CSR-Team and is listed in Annex 2

5 Conclusions and recommendations

Hotels logo „Continues the tradition” is perfectly illustrated in the quality of services provided to the guests. The young, professional management team is results orientated offering good services at affordable prices (extras from the opinions of clients).

According to the Romanian law the hotel has been classified starting 2009 at 4 stars. The conditions offered make the hotel ideal for conference organizers and also for family visits.

Among the identified problems at the level of CSR, our team discovered :

- lack of supplementary benefits - the amount of participation given by employees in decision making - weak communication between various departments

The CSR is a continuous process and that‘s why the external team suggests that the work done must be continued by the internal CSR team. The management of the hotel was open to all the ideas and we believe that the project will continue on its own.
