The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Hospitality and Tourism is launching an inquiry into \u2018recruitment and retention of staff in hospitality\u2019.<\/p>\n
The inquiry into \u2018recruitment and retention of staff in hospitality\u2019 will explore the reasons behind high vacancy rates, ask what more the sector can do and make a series of recommendations to government.<\/p>\n
The APPG is seeking answers to the following questions:<\/p>\n
Workers in hospitality roles often leave within a few months, and many within the first year. Does the industry have a retention problem? And, if so, why?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
The industry has more than 100,000 vacancies and shortages have remained a persistent issue for businesses for several years. What are the barriers businesses are facing when it comes to recruitment and finding the staff they need?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
One in five UK adults consider hospitality an appealing industry to work in \u2013 what can the sector and government do to change the perceptions of a sector that offers rewarding careers and rapid progression, to make the sector more appealing?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
Historically, hospitality has been able to fill vacancies with workers from overseas: as a sector how is the industry balancing the Government\u2019s emphasis on encouraging business to utilise UK-born workers with the need to deliver a high-quality experience for customers and guests?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
The sector has introduced numerous initiatives to support the mental health and wellbeing of its staff, such as the Hospitality Wellbeing and Development Promise<\/a> and Hoteliers\u2019 Charter<\/a>. How successful have these industry initiatives and action taken by businesses been, and what can be done?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n As a sector, many hospitality business utilise zero-hour contracts, what impact do you think this has on the recruitment and retention of staff?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Hospitality and Tourism is launching an inquiry into \u2018recruitment and retention of staff in hospitality\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9057\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instituteoflicensing.org\/news_archive\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Zero-hour contracts<\/h3>\n
