Jed Heller

President

The Providence Group

Jed C. Heller is President of The Providence Group LLC, and a 30 year veteran of the hospitality management industry. Heller began his career with Winegardner and Hammons, a full service management company in Cincinnati, OH. Heller went on to successfully manage all phases of three start up business ventures involved in real estate investments, acquisitions, and hospitality management; two of these as operating partner. With his experience, unique style, and personal involvement in every management operation, he has been engaged by clients around the world.

In 2005, Heller started The Providence Group LLC to offer unique hospitality and general management services to hotels, time-share resorts, and condominiums. Heller soon recognized the growing need for the professional management of small to mid-size hotels. The Providence Group LLC successfully fulfilled this need by providing positive, cost-effective, and efficient results to this market segment. His management focus is on quality, attention to detail, hands-on service, and full accountability for every employee. With a favorable industry response to his management style and business acumen, Heller made the strategic decision in early 2008, to allocate all resources and company focus to the full service management of small to mid-size hotels.

Hotel Human Resources: The Biggest Challenges
The economic challenges of the past four years have led many hotel companies to re-examine the ways in which they do business and how they deploy talent. In many cases, the work did not go away and fewer people were left to carry on the tasks that had previously been shared among many. As we work our way out of the recession and look forward to a healthier economic environment, there is an understanding that despite recovering business levels, we may never see the return of former staffing levels. This "new norm" of operating with leaner teams has led Human Resources professionals and people managers to look at career development and growth opportunities in a new light. The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
