According to the research conducted by Nestlé Professional in collaboration with 3GEM, 31% of Brits don’t think hospitality is a career path one “actively chooses,” with 45% of millennials considering it a “stop gap” and 18% of those who work in the industry “thinking of leaving in the next year.”
That said, 70% of hospitality workers agreed they are “proud to work in the industry,” while 53% of those outside the sector said it would be rewarding and 57% of those who have left would consider returning.
Providing “in-depth perceptions of the hospitality sector” as well as advice from industry professionals on how to “better attract, upskill and retain talented individuals” to tackle the current staff crisis, Lumley said the report “brings together some of the biggest names in hospitality to offer best practice on the topic.”
He continued: “It provides insight and innovative ideas on how to change outdated perceptions and top tips for how best to encourage new people into the industry for long-term careers.
“One of the strongest messages to come out of our research was just how important it is to reward employees for their achievements and help develop their career. Our very own Toque d’Or competition supports apprentices and students in their progression by celebrating their fantastic skills and has evolved over the last 30 years to leave a legacy that we can be proud of.
