Part 2- Case Study (6 marks)
Read the case given below and answer the questions:
Back Space (BS) was well-regarded as an employer of choice for many years before
missing out on a Best Employers list they were used to appearing on. The experience
prompted them to return to their core values and regularly measure their performance to
ensure their actions were delivering results. People who work at BS are called partners.
They believe that great guest experiences begin with great partner experiences. The
partner experience is one of the key success indicators for the company. Employee
engagement, leadership, enablement, alignment, and development are measured. They
seek feedback frequently because the feedback helps drive their business strategies. Past
survey feedback has contributed to company initiatives and programs like Vision + Goals
(a goal setting and personal development program), guest experience training delivered
via eLearning, and changes to their compensation and benefits program. “The BS
Experience is about leadership, it’s about people, it’s about development and growth,
and we have fun,” says Kareem, Senior Manager of Strategy at Back Space. “Our
company’s soul is to live a large, purposeful life filled with fun, and so we try to inject
that through all our communications, training programs, and make sure it’s integrated
into everything we do at BS.” BS conducted a pulse survey specifically for their kitchen
partners. They had been getting some feedback that front-of-house employees were
getting a lot of training and back of-house partners wanted that as well. With the survey,
BS was able to ascertain those employees needed to feel more connected to their culture,
as well as what was needed in terms of training and development. This feedback would
help mold future programs and initiatives that have a direct impact on kitchen partners.
The surveys would also help garner feedback regarding new programs. Back Space
launched a new guest experience training program that was provided to all their front-ofhouse partners. In the past, it was face-to-face training that took place in the store when
a partner was first hired. Later, the course was shifted to a combination of face-to-face
training and eLearning. Having not done a lot of eLearning, BS designed a survey to see
how effective the new training was and how they could improve it.
