Adapting to the new talent demands in Hospitality

The talent landscape has changed and workers want different things in the new world. To meet the resourcing requirements of the future, hospitality businesses need to adapt.

How can they do this? How can they meet the needs of those that want to develop their career and those who want the flexibility to work when and where they want? Are there any short-term fixes? What longer-term strategies could be developed? The answers could be found in a seminar hosted by HVS.

HVS along with Bird & Bird (lawyers), AlixPartners (business recovery specialists) and EP Business in Hospitality hosted the online forum focused on the hospitality sector, with a mix of topical presentations followed by a lively panel moderated by Russell Kett, Chairman, HVS with the participation of Theo Bortoluzzi, Kerten Hospitality’s Business Development Manager and Stephen Cassidy, Vice-Chairman, UK Hospitality and Senior Vice President & Managing Director, UK & Ireland, Hilton Hotels, Donald Sloan, Chair of Oxford Cultural Collective and Ruud Reuland, former Director General of Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne.
