Labor shortages. The strain continues.     Like many other industries, Hospitality continues to experience the significant challenges of being able to seek talent, fill positions and retain team members.   Since July 2021, quit rates in hospitality have consistently exceeded 4.5% - placing immense strain on workers and the industry as a whole.   According to a recent survey from the American Hotel & Lodging Association, labor shortages are still one of the biggest issues hoteliers face in 2024, with two-thirds claiming to not have enough staff and more than four in five claiming they raised wages in the second half of 2023 to help recruit and retain talent.   In response to this issue and to meet the evolving demands of consumers, the industry is turning and investing in new technologies.   As someone who has been part of the hospitality industry for 28 years, I’m seeing first-hand the powerful tools that are needed and being implemented to help support current team members with operational efficiencies and alleviate burden.   Want to have a conversation on how to support your current team members and refocus on providing exceptional and hospitable service? Then let’s connect.   Who knows? You may find that your organization will no longer be part of that 4.5% rate in the long run.   #hospitality #hospitalityIndustry #tourism #hotels #employeeengagement #workforcesolutions #canteen Canteen North America

In the U.S., nearly a third (61%) of hospitality managers have observed a drop in gratuities. What does this mean for front line hospitality workers? To be blunt: nothing good. In customer service, it's important to find ways to thank those serving you. These jobs can be difficult, especially when on the receiving end of hostile complaints. With rising concerns surrounding the labor shortage, it's been shown that nearly 80% of current hotel workers say they would be more likely to stay with their current employer if their tips were increased, with more than half stating that they would be extremely likely to stay in their position. #Hospitality #LaborShortage #Burnout #Tourism

The current staffing shortage in the hospitality industry is well-known among industry leaders, yet it remains largely unnoticed by the government. This shortage has become so severe at the operational level that it perpetuates a cycle of understaffing, resulting in the exhaustion of existing employees due to increased workloads. As a consequence, many individuals begin to harbor resentment towards the industry, as their wages remain stagnant while their workloads continue to intensify. Seeking alternatives, those with strong communication skills and a confident demeanor easily secure positions paying upwards of INR 30,000 in metropolitan areas. They opt for these roles due to superior compensation and, importantly, a better work-life balance. A potential solution to this workforce crisis lies in the training and development of talent from Tier-2 cities. The government must recognize this opportunity to cultivate a skilled workforce for the hospitality sector, thereby reducing unemployment and improving conditions within the industry. #workforcecrisisinhotels #hospitalityindustry
