I finished work at 9, so could still go out and have fun and I managed to feed myself (and most of my friends) that summer.<br \/>\nI wasn\u2019t very popular with the bar staff though as on my first night, I waltzed out of the Friday night pub having switched the wrong switch and oil from the massive deep fat fryer flooded the back of the bar, and kept them there till the early hours trying to clean up the sticky mess!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1991\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Jobs-at-Rathfinny.jpg\" alt=\"jobs in brighton, Rathfinny tasting room\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Jobs-at-Rathfinny.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Jobs-at-Rathfinny-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Jobs-at-Rathfinny-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Jobs-at-Rathfinny-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Jobs-at-Rathfinny-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Jobs-at-Rathfinny-1600x1066.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">You have a strong ethos around developing a positive work culture in the hospitality industry;<br \/>\nwho or what inspired you to do things differently?<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I always think of our staff as our best asset in so many ways. Not just from the jobs they do, but as ambassadors for our brand. I think happy, engaged employees give more to the business and also, I hope that with the transparency we try to invoke, they understand the business better and feel part of it. I like to listen to their views as they see the business from a completely different side to mine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">I worked once for NOP (National Opinion Polls) and always thought they missed something like time and again people told us things, but if it \u2018wasn\u2019t on the form to be ticked\u2019 they didn\u2019t want to know. I like to know what people think \u2013 good and bad.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the key things you are doing, as an employer, to improve the industry work culture?<\/h2>\n<p>I like to think that we look after our staff. For our Core Team, we offer a 10% pension contribution, private healthcare, work insurance and a generous parental policy. As a seasonal business, we have a Core Casual Team of employees and they are entitled to come to events, as well as getting staff discounts and offers.<br \/>\nThey all get 100% of the tips given. I am mindful to include staff in the reasoning behind our decision making, and we share news across the business at monthly meetings.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I know the <a href=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/brighton-hospitality\/\">hospitality industry<\/a> is one of the long hours and busy times, but I am always clear that staff should be mindful of their health and mental well-being.
