Idea Fair
Employee Referral Program
How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?
From September 1, 2022 - December 31, 2022 the Grill restaurant hired 25 new employees. Out of those employees, 15 or 60%, were referred by current Farmington Employees. Employees referring their friends and family to come work at the Club has been a great way to ensure we receive hardworking and dedicated candidates, as our employees are only going to refer people they know can handle the positions. Employee Referrals have helped us reach our ideal staffing levels which we were very far away from during the end of the summer staffing crisis.
How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
We informed our current team members of Farmington's Employee Referral Program through multiple outlets. We would discuss it at our daily pre-shifts for both lunch and dinner to remind our current employees to tell people they know about Farmington. We also sent a flyer out with every F&B Schedule we send out each week. Members have been very excited to see our team grow. They are glad we have been able to become fully staffed again after the staffing crisis and have enjoyed getting to know our new team members.
