Human Resource Management for Events is the first text to cover management of human resources in the event environment. Linking theory, research and application it covers the differing and various types of event in which human resource management is key, such as: * Business Events - a vast sector including events people who manage conferences, exhibitions, incentive trips and individual business travel. * Sporting Events - this sector includes sporting events ranging from the Olympic Games, Rugby World Cup, Soccer World Cup, Tour de France, Grand Prix to many smaller, local sporting events. * Arts and Entertainment - the logistics, risk and financial issues facing entertainment events are leading to the development of more sophisticated operational skills for this sector. Music festivals are increasingly popular. * Public Events - civic ceremonies, parades, celebrations, festivals and protests all fall within the scope of public events. Planning, approval and risk management are increasingly on the agenda for all levels of government. The particular challenges provided by such events are varied. The size of the workforce explodes at the time of the event to include the event management team, many paid staff, hundreds of volunteers and multiple contractors, such as food vendors and cleaning teams. Everyone working on the site comes into the scope of the event workforce. Little time is available for training and motivation plays a key role in retention and customer service. Decision making occurs on the run and the event is over before anyone can think about performance appraisal. The environment is further characterised by a fast pace, high stress levels and many workers are fatigued by the bump in period before the event audience pours through the gates to add yet another level of pressure. These features of the human resources environment are quite different to those of the traditional workforce. Human Resource Management for Events is vital reading for both students and practitioners involved in this crucially important aspect of event management. * The first book to cover management of human resources in the event environment * Links theory, research and application in event HRM in the context of both mega events and smaller scale events * Considers HRM in each of the major event areas - business, sporting, arts &amp; entertainment and public.

Human Resource Management for Events (Events Management)

The premise underlying this book is that every interaction between a staff member and a customer is unique. Training methods develop product knowledge or train staff in the complex and demanding field of customer service. However, selection and training of employees in the all-important personal dimension of service should enable them to respond to differing cutomer needs, to be aware of customers' different perceptions of what quality service is, and to adapt their responses to meet their unique needs. This high level of communication skill has not, until now, been adequately acknowledged or used as the basis for experiential and lifelong learning in the service sector. Managers who can bring this customer focus to their human resource practices, including competency-based training, can be assured that their organisations will deliver quality service both now and in the future. Lynne van der Wagen has been teaching, researching and writing in the field of hospitality management for the past 8 years and has recently completed her masters degree in adult education at the University of Technology, Sydney. Previously Director of Personnel for a 600 room hotel, Lynn is well qualified to discuss contemporary issues in the fields of quality management, human resource management, and competency based training.
