Given the importance of the facility department and the responsibilities of the director of facilities, why do you think a facility director's average salary is lower than the rest of the hotel's executive committee (i.e., HR Director, Director of Sales & Marketing, Hotel Mgr. Director of Food and Beverage, & Controller)? You should list as many pssible reasons as you can.
Homework Answers
- Facilities Director doesn't contribute to the revenue earning potential of the firm.
- Facilities department is a crucial but thankless place.
- Facilities director is an inward looking position. You don't interact with the customers, lenders, investors, shareholders, bank, government bodies etc.
- This position is dispensable, doesn't require any strong specific skill set to run. The educational and professional qualification required to run this position is significantly lower than that required for HR< Sales & marketing, Finance positions.
- The nature of work is also quite mundane, repetitive, not as challenging as that of HR head, S&M head, finance controller.
