HR Keeps the Chefs Motivated to a Lifetime Experience

Do you like this post?

Chefs are known for being meticulous when ‘cooking’ and ‘food’ are the issues. They are known for creating palatable and mouth-watering foods. They may be the ones who have the most detailed works. It is applicable to say that chefs do practice excellence (like any other do) because excellence is associated with your being keen into details.

There are fast-foods and restaurants that expose the cooking of chefs in their kitchens. They are undoubtedly interesting to look at and you will really find yourself hooked while you watch them move. It is like as if it is so easy to prepare and cook dishes because of their smooth and quick actions. But in fact, chefs take a lot of study and practice to get into near perfection of their profession. In cooking, adequate knowledge, preparation, and timing are necessary. As they are essential, practice and acquisition are both needed.

As a saying goes, “Excellence is not an act but a habit. The things you do the most are the things you will do best.” My dear chefs, this is really true and it certainly happens.

HR development programs concentrate on developing people by means of training in the first place. Companies provide trainings to achieve success and that success is likely at sight by practicing excellence at work. There are three excellences at work that HR development programs aim for. These are excellence in performance, in quality, and in relationships.

Excellence in performance. Through HR programs, such as apprenticeship program like those of the chefs, the beginners are trained by observing the professionals how to do a work properly. They learn by themselves at first. Whatever they acquire during observations, whether correct or incorrect, their learnings will be corrected, directed, and polished later when they do the work themselves in the field with the help of the professionals. The next time they do it, they already have a clear goal in mind. That is, to do it good and right. Compliments from trainers are necessary to a motivated excellence in performance.

Excellence in quality. If quality is first, it should be number one on every agendum at every meeting. If quality is number one, then every step should be taken in the organization to eliminate businesses of reworking something to death. Areas in the business that are being reworked should be found to stop the conflict, and do it right the first time.

With step 1, excellence in quality is not that hard to achieve. With the right skills at hand and proper execution in work, quality can be obtained.

Excellence in relationships. Assuming your company manages to strongly improve in the areas of performance and quality but without step 3 in the triad of excellence, yours will become a two-thirds company. Meaning, your company will be scrutinized more by people than any other companies. Two-third companies receive different criticisms from people for the reason that they are near ‘there’ but cannot get there.

So if you intend on working toward the goal of excellence, remember that the leap between one and three is a risky one and needs to be bridged quickly. You need to work on building relationships with both your employees and customers simultaneously.

It is vital to any businesses to build faith with every person that they work with. Everyone in the establishment should be treated with due respect. After all, excellence would be in vain if good relationships would not be given emphasis.

In the case of the chefs, harmonious relationships at work are established through common interests, food and cooking. Sharing of ideas and trivia can be a bonding experience between chefs.

In every work you do, it is indeed motivating if excellence flows naturally from you. Once you get the benefit of it, you cannot get over it. Self-fulfillment, perhaps, is the main reason why we practice excellence. Hence, we are encouraged to perform in excellence every time. It serves as a motivation to a lifetime excellence.
