| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses golf course personnel management, stating that "based on their actions, successful superintendents are in agreement that one of the first steps towards achieving high employee performance is to provide ample training." Suggests that "the foundation of a good training program for new employees typically includes the review of instructional videos and/or booklets, one-on-one instruction from the turf equipment technician, and one-on-one instruction from a senior supervisor or superintendent." Also suggests that "in addition to addressing appropriate work surroundings, providing simple creature comforts can demonstrate how important an employee's role is to achieving success. Such comforts might include an oversized locker for storing personal hand tools [and] rain gear"; "catered meals from the clubhouse"; "a dryer for wet work clothes during the rainy season"; "low-cost vending machines"; "personalized parking spaces"; "and comfortable furniture in the break room." |
