Nearly all hotels are experiencing staffing shortages, and half report being severely understaffed, according to a new member survey conducted by the AHLA.
Staff shortage – What solutions and alternatives are at hand?
One thing is clear, with dirty rooms and guests waiting in the lobby, no one in the hotel has time to care about prices and revenue management. Increased salaries may be needed to lure enough staff to get hotels back on their feet.
Local hospitality apprentices wanted
Escarpment Group offers free apprenticeships, which will help meet the demand for chefs; other hospitality and tourism workers, particularly in regional areas where shortages are felt most keenly.
