[post_page_title]Keeping his staff happy[/post_page_title]
One of the most important elements for a CEO to be successful is a happy and healthy staff. Batali says he did this by enforcing a “family meal” before every shift at his restaurants. This means that the staff would be able to enjoy a free and delicious meal while discussing what they were eating and airing any comments they may have. “It’s the time that we let the people know in the staff of the rich tradition of the Italian table and culture,” he says. Although he may have publicly discussed how he boosted employee morale, a number of his former employees have accused the chef of abuse.
