Eat’n Park Hospitality Group (of which Parkhurst is a member) received the 2010 People Do Matter Award. Presented by the Pittsburgh Human Resources Association, the People Do Matter Award recognizes regional employers that are implementing exceptional people practices. Eat’n Park received their award in the “Learning and Development” category for the Supervisor Certification Program, a leadership experience that has graduated over 200 hourly team members. A collaborative effort between operations and training, Eat’n Park’s corporate training team and field and site managers work together to help mentor, coach and evaluate the supervisor’s assignments and progress. Supervisors participate in over 25 hours of training and are required to pass a certification exam. Supervisors who have graduated from the program help to support and strengthen their unit management teams, uphold their standards, and enhance their guests’ experiences.
