Ana Chavarria, front office manager Case Study

Ana Chavarria, front office manager, has been with The Times Hotel for several years. She recalls her first few months as a time of great stress. There was Milo Diaz, personnel manager, who was always calling her to post her schedules on time and authorize payroll forms. Thomas Brown, executive housekeeper, seemed a great friend off the premises of the hotel, but at work, he continually badgered the front desk clerks on guest check-in and checkout problems.

Childhood obesity is a major national concern in the U.S., with about one third of minors overweight. A vast number of campaigns to reverse this have arisen in the last decade, such as Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign and the NFL’s Play60 campaign. However, the most progressive response is a prescription to take a step back from our modern technology-based society: doctors are now writing “Outdoor Activity” on Rx labels to overweight and obese children. “Outdoor Activity” prescriptions have been successful so far, not only improving youth’s health but also teaching them to love being outside. According to Kay Debrosse, who runs a Massachusetts recreation center, “They love the outdoors more now … They moan and groan when you tell them to get off their computer, but then they don’t want to come back inside.” These prescriptions resonate deeply with parents and patients because they are individually prescribed by a doctor, instilling a more committed attitude toward change.
