You're facing resistance from staff on eco-friendly kitchen practices. How can you overcome their objections?

1. Include a team member in the planning phase. The better you understand their challenges prior to implementation the more buy in you will have. 2. Make sure there is a clear reason for this change, and how it will benefit them. If massive changes just means extra work without a beneficial outcome to the party that has to execute it, they are less likely to be engaged! 3.have a clear plan for implementation. Remember, while you are leading the implementation someone else has to execute it. 4. Be open to suggestions. There are you may not have thought of. And be open to scrap it is a completely failure. Don’t make staff continue to do something that doesn’t make sense or that doesn’t work. They will respect for you and the process.

People sometimes oppose to change. Explain the why and benefits to the changes not only to the personal but as a business. Do not impose the changes as a totalitarian way but involve everyone in a democratic way.

Most people hate and are frightened by sudden changes hence introducing changes gradually is a wiser option. First the person who is introducing the concept should have conviction and clarity.Otherwise it will reflect in his/her actions.

Sometimes people are afraid and they don't know the process and proper guidance, So we have to 1. Educate and raise awareness 2. Explain the benifits 3. Provide Information 4. Practice what you preach 5. Showcase Success Story 6. Involvement of staff 7. Hands on Workshop 8. Provide the Right tools 9. Simplify the process 10. Offer Incentive

Teaching them the correct ways. if they make any mistake teach them with respect explain and work with them guide them in the right direction. you should be able to communicate in ways to increase their knowledge and practice good habits

Open dialogue and having the team truly understand the benefits will ease the transition into a better future. By making everyone see the impact one operation can make for them and other operators alike, is key to a successful eco system

some times is very hard to teach some people. you have to leeds the way kitchen by washing you hands. make sure that all food handelerase are clean to start processing do the prep work for the day ensure you covers all the protocols guidelines. explain by doing all the necessary methods are to prevent cross contamination. cooking is a art doing with passion .you have to inspires them with out any dialogue. some people like this way . I love to cook and my hobby too .so it is easy for me to show best possible way to minimize west. and keep the place clean

A well-prepared in-site 'field trip' showing the why and the how of the new changes could be productive. Maybe the same reward system that applies to 'employee of the month' could be implemented for 'ecologist of the month' in the first year or two until the protocols and procedures are ingrained in the company's how-to.

Education is another form of training, educating your staff is equipping them with more knowledge and skills enhancing skills.

Many people today do not understand the importance of being "eco-friendly". To be fair, there are many so-called practices out there that are not really as such but appear to be simply because of lack of education. Did you know that you cannot recycle a bag such as potato chips if it has a foil lining? As eco-friendly appearing bamboo container loses its ability for recycling if it has a "film" lining or wax coating? Point is there are many things out there that appear to be good for the environment but are not. It takes more time to peel off the tough skin so it can be used in a salad but this prevents waste and creates a "new" free profitable ingredient like when Dunkin' Donuts starting selling Donut Holes.....Education removes fear.

Effective communication is crucial for a well-functioning team. Addressing issues promptly and efficiently builds trust in management. Organizing team events can further strengthen bonds and improve collaboration. Additionally, regular feedback sessions can help identify and resolve potential problems before they escalate, fostering a more cohesive and motivated team.

Effective communication is essential for understanding your team and collaborating effectively. It's important to show patience and understanding as each team member adjusts to changes.

Giving a constant feedback for improvement, giving a trainings where we can shape them via different channels of communication. Take every step and lead them the way and understanding that you should initiate by giving them fresh perpectives about the topic. They will eventually understand in a way that it should be.

Build steadily towards your goals Overnight hype does not make it far in the hospitality industry. We know the basics can always improve. Make one awesome and eco thoughtful gesture then build up to being eco buddies.
