Hotel Moment

July 15, 2021
Chipotle set the standard high for restaurants by offering competitive benefits and career pathing. Will someone do the same thing for hotels? It may be necessary as hotels are trying to quickly ramp up and rehire staff, and are discovering that no one wants these jobs. This week on the Hotel Moment podcast, we revisit one of our most popular episodes - "Unlocking the Staffing Crisis".We got together with former hoteliers, front line staff, academics, and corporate managers to discuss the future of the industry and the current staffing crisis. Will tech play a bigger role at hotels in 2025? What will it take to get employees back to work? Tune in to hear what long-time experts believe the future holds and what impacts the staffing crisis may leave behind.
