However, many attractions struggle to design programs that are sustainable, meaningful, and relevant to their employees. A poorly structured recognition program can lead to confusion, disengagement, and even demotivation. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about the key components of an effective employee recognition program and share insights on how to make it valuable, scalable, and engaging for team members. Authenticity in Recognition "A recognition program can spark motivation, but it should be something that team members naturally want to perform the actions for, regardless of the reward." A successful recognition program must be authentic. If employees feel like they are being rewarded for actions they would have taken anyway, the program enhances intrinsic motivation rather than feeling like a transactional exchange. Leaders should ensure that recognition feels genuine and aligns with the company's core values. Keeping it Simple and Relevant "Too often, companies get carried away with layering in additional complexity, making it harder for employees to adopt and understand." A recognition program should be intuitive and easy to understand. When companies overcomplicate incentives with excessive criteria, rules, or unnecessary gamification, employees can lose sight of what they are working toward. Matt and Josh emphasize the importance of designing a straightforward program that reinforces behaviors that leadership wants to encourage while ensuring its relevance to different roles within the organization. Making Recognition Valuable and Scalable "The success of your recognition program should not mean an ever-growing expense." A well-designed program does not have to come with a high price tag. Many successful recognition programs involve low-cost yet high-value rewards, such as choosing break times, getting priority in scheduling, or personalized notes from leadership. By thinking creatively, companies can make their programs both meaningful and financially sustainable. Recognition Should Be Flexible and Tailored "We hear often that recognition should be public and coaching should be private, but public recognition only works if the team member is comfortable with it." Different employees appreciate recognition in different ways. Some prefer public acknowledgment, while others value a private thank-you. By understanding individual preferences, leaders can ensure that recognition resonates rather than feeling forced. Personalization is key to making employees feel seen and appreciated. Employee Recognition Should Be Fun! "Your recognition program should be as fun as it is rewarding. Think about the energy of something like the Savannah Bananas and bring that excitement to your team." Fun and engagement should be at the heart of any recognition program. Whether it's through gamification, creative reward structures, or lighthearted competition, employees should enjoy participating. If recognition becomes a chore, its effectiveness diminishes.   Have you implemented a program that has worked well in your organization? Do you have insights into what makes recognition meaningful?

Training is an essential part of employee development, but a one-time session is rarely enough to ensure long-term success. Many organizations struggle with finding the balance between equipping employees with the knowledge they need upfront and reinforcing that learning over time. Without ongoing reinforcement, employees may struggle to retain information, lack confidence in their roles, and ultimately provide a subpar guest experience. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about the importance of ongoing training and development, exploring how organizations can build confidence and competence over time to improve both employee performance and guest satisfaction. The Most Important Part of Training "The way that they could take what they're learning and immediately see it through their lens and apply it directly to the specific aspects of their job duties... That's the most important part.” Training is only effective if employees can connect it directly to their roles. The best training programs help team members understand the practical applications of what they're learning, ensuring they can implement new knowledge in real-world situations. The Importance of Ongoing Learning "The learning doesn't stop just because the training does." Employees absorb and process information at different rates. Some may excel with a single training session, while others need repeated reinforcement. Instead of relying on one-time training events, organizations should adopt a continuous learning model that provides opportunities for employees to practice, fail, and improve over time. Balancing Immediate Performance Needs with Long-Term Growth "We need you to have the standard that we expect from you. Therefore, the bandwidth to fail maybe tightens a little bit." Organizations must balance the necessity of immediate performance with the reality that true skill development takes time. Investing in early training while implementing ongoing reinforcement helps employees develop without compromising the guest experience. The Know-Feel-Do Framework "What do you want them to know? How do you want them to feel? And what do you want them to do?" The Know-Feel-Do framework provides a structured approach to training: Know – What key information should employees retain? Feel – How should they emotionally connect to the training? Do – What actions should they take after the training? By incorporating all three elements, organizations can ensure training is engaging, relevant, and actionable. Reinforcement Through Daily Operations "If you're not the one leading the charge in terms of training, employees will learn from someone else – and you might not like the outcome." Training shouldn't exist in isolation. Organizations can integrate learning into daily operations by: Holding structured pre-shift meetings with quick training refreshers. Providing real-time coaching and feedback. Using guest interactions and real-life scenarios to reinforce learning. Encouraging a Culture of Learning "People want to learn more. They want to continue to be challenged." Creating an environment where learning is continuous fosters engagement and retention. Employees who feel supported in their development are more likely to stay motivated and committed to delivering high-quality service.

To address this, Josh is excited to release a new online course called Service Recovery Hero, which allows attraction operators to streamline the service recovery process and use guest complaints to grow the business. Designed for the attractions industry, the course offers actionable strategies to handle complaints, empower employees, and turn service failures into opportunities for growth. In this episode, Matt and Josh delve into the nuances of service recovery, showing how it should be treated as a necessary component of any business strategy. Guests Aren't Complaining Enough "Less than 4% of people who have an issue are actually going to speak up about it." Guest feedback provides a wealth of insights, but the majority of dissatisfied guests remain silent. To get more complaints, embrace the four key pillars for collecting guest feedback: onsite channels, post-visit surveys, mystery shops, and public reviews. These pillars ensure businesses capture and act on valuable information to improve the guest experience proactively. Train Your Staff for Complaint Resolution "The LAST model stands for Listen, Apologize, Solve, and Thank." One cornerstone of service recovery is the LAST model, a structured approach to handling complaints. Training staff in this model equips them to navigate difficult conversations and resolve issues effectively. By emphasizing empathy and empowerment, this framework minimizes disruptions and enhances guest satisfaction. Empower Team Members with Recovery Tools "There is so much you have to offer that has high value to guests but low cost to your business." When you implement a robust recovery toolbox, you enable team members to resolve complaints without managerial escalation. By offering high-value, low-cost solutions—like complimentary tickets or experiential compensation—teams can address issues swiftly and achieve higher levels of guest satisfaction. The Importance of Documentation "Documenting recovery efforts helps track trends, coach team members, and prevent abuse." Documentation is essential for managing service recovery effectively. It allows businesses to identify repeat offenders and ensure recovery measures are applied judiciously. This systematic approach also helps refine operational strategies based on aggregated feedback. Handling Public Reviews and Online Feedback "Your response to a review is not just for the reviewer but for everyone who reads it." Public responses to negative reviews require tact and professionalism, along with validating the guest's concerns and stresses further discussion offline. This approach not only addresses the reviewer's issue but also demonstrates the organization's commitment to service excellence to potential future guests. Plan for the Worst "Even irate or unreasonable complaints can be addressed with a structured approach." Part of your service recovery strategy is to prepare for worst-case scenarios, including obscure and aggressive complaints. Training staff to use conflict resolution strategies, while maintaining safety, ensures even the most challenging situations are managed effectively. Grow Through Guest Feedback "The solution is not the opposite of the problem but solving for the perception behind it." Guest feedback offers opportunities for continuous improvement. Aggregating data and addressing systemic issues can lead to long-term enhancements in operations. This iterative process ensures guest satisfaction remains a cornerstone of the business.   Service Recovery Hero is available now as a self-paced online course tailored for the attractions industry.

In this episode of the IMPERFIX we revisit one of our many conversations with Johann Hari. However this IMPERFIX starts with Josh, delivering what may be one of the most powerful and moving acts of vulnerability we've ever seen on this podcast, when he felt compelled to share a realisation, that he had been addicted to the internet for much of his life. Johann's response was as always, heartfelt, engaging, hopeful and empowering. And we thought it was worth revisiting.

Tony Karklins is the founder of Allied Cycle, is currently the founder of Time, and has deep knowledge of all aspects of the cycling industry, all the way back to when as a teenager he owned a bike shop. He's the perfect match for a conversation with Josh about bike business, manufacturing, racing and more. 

This episode started with a question about what we as an industry might be lacking compared to other industries. It just so happens that Josh and Matt were talking about premium experiences just before recording, so that happened to be on our minds. In this episode, we talk about possible enhancements attractions can make to premiumize both the guest and employee experience.  At its core, a premium experience is based on three things: exclusivity, efficiency and personalization. With that in mind, we brainstormed a few ways to include those in our offerings to guests and employees. For example, what if guests who opted for a premium experience not only had a special parking pass, but a separate lane to bypass all other traffic?  Or better (or even more premium) yet, what if a van or limo arrived to pick the guests up and bring them to the park?  Would THAT feel like a premium start to the day? We also talked about this for employees, and discussed that what employees really crave is to be heard, valued and know that they have a future. From our experience, there are a lot of employees that would consider these foundations of the employee experience to be premium - IF done on a consistent basis. The real challenge for many attractions is looking at the business differently. Taking a strategic look at every phase of the guest or employee journey to determine if there is more that could be done - and the answer is YES! There is no plateau to hospitality or service that we extend to the people we care about. If you have initiatives that add premium touches to the guest or employee experience, we'd love to hear about them and possibly feature them on a future follow-up episode of the podcast.

Recently, Universal Orlando shared additional details about Epic Universe, scheduled to open in 2025.  The news of the upcoming park's opening sparked a conversation about sustaining guest and employee experience initiatives on a continual basis.  Grand openings are often accompanied by fanfare and confetti, but attractions are built for the long term, rather than the initial splash they make.  In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about getting past the honeymoon phase, using feedback to drive growth, and moving the goalpost. Getting past the honeymoon phase "Every day should be a grand opening." There is substantial effort that it takes to open a large attraction such as a theme park.  From construction to marketing and hiring, the majority of work activity is pointed toward the grand opening.  Once the grand opening occurs, the initial novelty eventually wears off, and now the team needs to shift toward long-term operations. However, when guests visit for the first time - even years after opening, the attraction needs to preserve the grand opening feel.  For employees, this includes the first-day feeling that they have on their first day of employment, whether it aligned with the grand opening or not.  Sustaining the enthusiasm is critical, particularly as employees become accustomed to their work environment, which for them now feels normal, ordinary, and occasionally even redundant. How can you treat every day like the grand opening for both guests and employees?   Using feedback to make improvements "Ask what can improve the experience, not *if* anything could improve it." You should always stay up-to-date on how you are delivering the experience compared to expectations, for both guests and employee experience.  Using multiple streams of feedback, you can determine what friction points there are in the experience, coming from the guests or employees themselves.  Then, using an operational lens and recognizing that the solution is not always the opposite of the problem, you can implement solutions very quickly that address the perception of the issue, and continue to measure the data to track improvements. This also requires leaders to look at their environments with a critical eye and not accept mediocrity.  Saying “it's fine” to minor issues is an indicator that a leader will overlook circumstances that will grow into larger problems in the future.  Taking care of them immediately ensures a high standard of quality.   Moving the goalpost "Use 'wow' moments to make sure the experience has no plateau." The guest and employee experience have no limit.  The more you drive these forward, the more growth opportunities you have for guest loyalty, including repeat visitation and positive word of mouth, as well as employee loyalty, which includes retention and referrals.  Even if you are ranked #1 on TripAdvisor, you can create a larger buffer between yourself and the attraction ranked #2. The concept of the peak-end rule indicates how we remember experiences.  We are most likely to remember the beginning, end, and the peaks that occur throughout the experience.  If we strategically orchestrate the peaks throughout their day, we can better ensure satisfaction, and we can continue to iterate new ideas for “wow” moments that can push the experience further.   Even if your attraction isn't brand new, tomorrow is a brand new day.  When you focus on the guest experience and the employee experience, the revenue follows.

However, even if you are a people person, without a proper understanding and implementation of the Hospitality Mentality, an organization won't be able to deliver the fantastic service standard they want to provide to their guests.  To add context, Josh reminisces about a restaurant he visited, noting that it was staffed with excellent employees who believed they were well-suited for the hospitality industry due to their kindness and authenticity. However, despite their admirable intentions, the lack of a hospitality mindset made the overall experience frustrating for visitors, despite the fact that the employees were “nice,” and the restaurant ultimately closed.   Hospitality is more than an industry Josh shares that hospitality is a universal language that extends beyond the leisure industry. Connecting the dots of Josh's ideas reveals the simplicity of applying these principles to any context, but mostly those involving human interaction. Throughout the process of publishing his book, Josh has shared many stories on how these ideas have gone beyond the walls of the attractions industry. A manager at a child support call center found value in adopting multiple ideas that not only enhanced the service provided, but also positively impacted their team. Furthermore, a member of a homeowner's association shared that they wished the association had the Hospitality Mentality to make the experience even more enjoyable and swiftly resolve issues for its members.   Guests don't need us Josh shared a simple principle in his book that centered around one idea: guests don't need us. However, Josh uses this as an opportunity, and breaks it down into a simple three-step idea that helps build the hospitality mentality.  First, it's important to know that guests don't need us, which leads us to Josh's second point; guests' alternative options are limitless. Alternative options can span from direct, local competition all the way to streaming services and at-home entertainment. Knowing this, Josh shares that we need to show our guests that we know that. Guests come to an experience expecting it to exceed all the direct and indirect competitors, and we need to prove them right by providing the best possible experience they can ask for.    To learn more about The Hospitality Mentality (and to purchase a signed copy), click here.

Coaster Nerd Con, or CNC23, took place from July 6-14, 2023.  This is the annual trek where Matt and two friends take an epic journey to ride roller coasters, debate the best park food and experience the best the industry has to offer. This year, Josh got to join them at their first park, Six Flags Great America. From there, the trio went to Lost Island Theme Park, Adventureland, Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City, Frontier City, Six Flags Over Texas, SeaWorld San Antonio, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. As usual, there were lessons learned along the way. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about the “things that matter” to the park-going experience.    Enthusiasm matters   For those who know Jeffrey Siebert, Park President at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, you know that he has enthusiasm to spare. In fact, he calls himself an “enthusiast who gets to run a theme park,” and that enthusiasm shows from the look of the park (amazing), the interactions with the team (hospitable and friendly), and the fact that everything was open. His energy is infectious, and that has an incredibly positive impact on the entire operation.    We also ran into team members at other parks, such as Lost Island, who leveled up their own enthusiasm. The gentleman who greeted us for the dark ride and the chef who checked on us as we ate lunch both positively enhanced our experience because of their enthusiasm and positive demeanor.    Recognition matters   There are so many ways to recognize a team member and so many great accomplishments to recognize them for! As we learned from Tony and Gina Claassen, there is something that Silver Dollar City does that combines recognition with a way to immortalize loyal team members.   Disney has the windows on Main Street, and Silver Dollar City has customized, themed posters that are placed throughout the park that recognize team members that have been with the company for 25 years. The best part is that Gina and Tony got to help design their posters and had a choice of where to put them. Next time you're at SDC, see if you can find them!   Environment matters   The look, the feel, the emotion, the smells, the music… it all plays into the environment you are stepping into and will be the foundation of an immersive experience. Worlds of Fun has done considerable retheming and upgrades to the park, including paint and new facades. Lost Island was clean, incredibly well-themed, and paid attention to the little details that really made a difference.    Props must also be given to the Bamboozler (Round-Up) at Worlds of Fun.  The internal paint job (which one could argue wasn't needed for the ride to function) created a visually interesting and attractive experience not just for the riders but the guests on the midway as well.    History matters   Many rides and attractions have had lives before landing in their current home. Parks also move things all the time to accommodate expansion and new experiences. It truly enhances the experience when a park takes the time to acknowledge and document the journey that a ride has taken to get to its current home.    A notable piece of history for Matt is the Grand Carousel at Worlds of Fun, which used to be at Geauga Lake in Aurora, OH. Geauga Lake was Matt's home park growing up, and there is a very good chance he rode it when he visited with his family. Sharing the history can develop and strengthen the emotional connection of the experience.    Activities matter   As much as the CNC crew loves roller coasters, it was really fun to discover, observe and participate in a variety of activities that bring people together and let them have fun or challenge themselves in a non-traditional way (for a theme park).   Lost Island had a number of activities that allowed guests to challenge their minds as well as their body. Silver Dollar City staged a good ‘ol fashioned water balloon fight, and Fiesta Texas has a state-of-the-art gaming center.     For more on the CNC23 trip, look for #CNC23 on Facebook and Instagram.    To connect with AttractionPros, visit attractionpros.com or email attractionpros@gmail.com.

We all want to enjoy our time off.  However, as leaders, there is often this nagging feeling like we're missing something or we are going to be needed for an important decision. What follows is an endless parade of checking email, texting co-workers, checking email, thinking about the work left undone, checking email…   When does it stop?  When you proactively put a plan in place to identify the things you SHOULD be contacted for vs the items your team should be able to handle. In this episode, Matt and Josh talk about defining your DEFCON, operational communication, and empowering your team. Defining your DEFCON   "If I am going to hear about this from external sources, then I want to hear it internally first."   You're getting ready to leave for an extended period of time and tell your team, “Only contact me if there is an emergency.”  However, your version of an emergency and their version rarely line up - without some conversations and expectations.   Defining your DEFCON refers to creating a system or tiered approach to emergency or off-time communication. Similar to measuring a nuclear threat, you can assign DEFCON ratings to various situations that may or may not require your intervention. DEFCON 1 (worst case scenario) could be a team member or guest injury, a 911 call, or social media event about to go viral. You NEED to know and possibly act on these situations. A DEFCON 5 (lowest priority) could be a routine guest complaint or needing toilet paper. Your staff should be able to do these things and do not require immediate attention.  Operational communication   "It's not just about delegation, it's also about communication."   Defining when and how to communicate goes beyond preparing for a vacation; it should be the rule for figuring out the best way to run your operation. With so many communication methods and strategies available, there is no reason for someone to be out of the loop.   As you are defining your DEFCON, you are likely identifying areas of the business that your team should be able to handle but maybe can't. This gives you a great place to start regarding tasks and processes you should discuss with your team. This not only prepares them for your absence, but ultimately this process strengthens their individual skills and builds the confidence needed to function without you. Empowering your team   “Fewer employees having more autonomy means we HAVE to empower them.”   Teaching your team how to handle situations requiring more and more responsibility not only increases their aptitude and confidence but also gives them a greater sense of ownership and autonomy. The true definition of empowerment is to literally give power to another person - you are doing this by teaching a skill and trusting them to carry it out without your supervision.   Whenever you empower someone, the results may not come out as you thought. Maybe they are better, maybe they are worse. If they are better, celebrate and recognize your team for improving a process or practice.  If the results are not what you expect, then this would trigger a coaching conversation where you can discuss the decision-making process and actions taken.  This podcast wouldn't be possible without the incredible work of our amazing team: Scheduling and correspondence by Kristen Karaliunas   To connect with AttractionPros: attractionpros@gmail.com
