A straightforward way to ease the hospitality staffing crisis... Improve your retention rates! For the past four years, hospitality recruitment issues have dominated headlines in both hospitality and mainstream media. Given the difficulty of recruiting new talent, it's always surprising how many businesses don't invest time and resources into tracking and improving the retention of existing team members. Only when you have solid data on attrition rates can you start to implement measures to improve turnover. Review each of your venues each month to determine the number of exits and compare it to last year. Take the time to understand the trends and compare across venues. Host impartial exit interviews to understand the key reasons for people leaving the business and areas for improvement. ⁃ Is there enough exposure to management? ⁃ Is there sufficient training? ⁃ Is the progression path clear enough? ⁃ Is there a culture issue? ⁃ Is there a pay issue? ⁃ Did they feel valued? By understanding why employees leave, you create a more attractive and supportive workplace, which not only helps retain current employees but also makes your business more appealing to potential hires. #recruitment #hospitality #hospitalityindustry

Michael Page is a global General Recruitment Firm. Not a hospitality or Asia specialist as such. Their report though is very informative. What stands out for me is on page 7, Hospitality. Tourism & Travel among the highest scoring industries to face challenges when hiring. Yet, on the topic of age discrimination and stereotyping we see the employer side has not caught on with reality. Major hotel companies that were not capable of retaining talents, especially during the COVID period, label those who kept themselves at work, as job hoppers, and while also not always maintaining the highest standards, randomly have an opinion on what is 'luxury' or 'life-style'. We see overall the great disconnect, that is keeping hospitality down, foregoing to hire the RIGHT people, and RETAIN them.
