We know we've got a people issue in our industry but what can businesses do to tackle it? In this episode we're looking at how we can help attract and retain new talent for the long term and what strategies are working across the sector.
Staff shortages mean businesses are concered, how can we make the industry attractive and capture talent? What incentives can help to retain our people and what training and development needs to be put in place?
What role can the government play, the industry has been hit hard throughout the pandemic, perhaps making it a less attractive option for young students and graduates as it may be perceived as an unstable industry. How can we change this perceived image of the hospitality sector and what initiatives are already underway to improve the situation for the short, medium and long term?
