Hoteliers on Automation Replacing Jobs: 'It's Coming, It's Now and It's Happening' 'During the second day of The Lodging Conference, hoteliers emphasized the need to connect to younger generations and adopt artificial intelligence to bolster the workforce, retain talent and increase productivity. Labor challenges have been a problem for hoteliers since the beginning of the pandemic — and even before that in some cases. Sloan Dean, CEO of Remington Hospitality, said during the “Leaders in Hospitality” panel that staffing has gotten better, but it’s far from being resolved, as the majority of properties across the U.S. are understaffed. “You have to supplement with either increased productivity, automation or immigration law,” he said. “The solution is productivity sped up the last three to four years 8% to 10%. Everybody had huge productivity gains. How long is this sustainable? Well, automate — that’s actually part of the answer is automation, AI, etc. Job replacement: It’s coming, it’s now and it’s happening.”' Read more: https://ow.ly/4AO750PQfTL via Hotel News Now #LaborChallenges #LaborShortage #StaffShortage #LodgingConference #Hoteliers #Hotels #HotelIndustry #Hospitality #HospitalityIndustry #HospitalityLaw

One of the Next big thing in the Hospitality Landscape in 2024 👇 Workforce empowerment: Transforming challenges into opportunities Over the past two years, the industry's biggest challenge has not been attracting customers but rather finding and retaining staff. To address this issue, many hotel groups have begun to make improvements, and there has never been a better time for newcomers to the industry to negotiate better working conditions and salaries. Today, many hotels offer their staff free or low-cost accommodation, increased wages and reduced peak-time working hours. They also invest in training programs to motivate staff and allow mobility up the corporate ladder. Empowered employees not only have a positive impact on how guests feel and their decision to become repeat guests, but also help attract other employees to build a cohesive, high-quality workforce.

It turns out that staff engagement matters - in both senses of the word 'engagement'. Little wonder that hoteliers are seeking to adapt to employee needs and wants. Adapting to employee needs and wants sustainably is key to meeting (and exceeding) their expectations and retaining them in the long term. Indeed, adapting to guest needs and wants sustainably is key to meeting (and exceeding) their expectations and, in so doing, retaining their loyalty. Sustainability is so much more than a buzzword. It is at the heart of any truly proactive and progressive organization, and can be built into all industries and projects using design and systems thinking from the outset and throughout. Get it right and loyalty will be the prize everyone can revel in, which is why ensuring every new hotel project is economically, ethically and ecologically sustainable is so critical for the future of the hospitality industry. #valuesarepriceless #designandsystemsthinking #respectandreciprocity #loyaltyismorethanmarketing #livesandlivelihoodsmatter #sustainabledesignmatters #economicallyethicallyecologicallysustainable #thefutureofsustainablesleepismattressfree #ammiquesleepscapehotels Accor Brune Poirson Hilton Larry Traxler Alison Taylor Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group GOCO Spa Whatley Manor Hotel and Spa Sue Williams MI FIH Florence Yu Magaly Etter MIH Ulpa Chauhan Jacqui Hamlin Jack (Tato) Bigio Albert Douer Sophie Tuviahu Alejandro Reynal Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Sustainable Hospitality Alliance Susan Krumdieck The Sustainable Markets Initiative Glenn Mandziuk MEDes.

#Bleisure is reshaping demand, while technology is transforming hotel operations. According to NPR, almost 200,000 fewer people work in hotels and lodging than pre-pandemic, a 9% drop. "You know, like it or not ... the pandemic has kind of taught us a lot. We've become a lot more efficient", says Vinay Patel of Fairbrook Hotels. Automated pancake machines and self check-in have reduced the burden on front-of-house staff, but what about back-of-house? What back-of-house technologies has your hotel business implemented post-pandemic to increase efficiency?
