A lot of people left the hospitality and travel industry during the pandemic. Either they were laid off, lost their jobs, or decided to take new ones in different industries.

But, are they coming back?

And if not, how do you replace those who left?

Even though most of the industry seems to be returning to normal, staffing is still a big challenge for many hotels. Especially with the increasing openings for remote job opportunities and the fact that many roles in hotels require staff to be on property. How can you attract people to work at your properties and be proud of their position?

Peter Ricci, the Clinical Associate Professor and Director of the Hospitality & Tourism Management Program at Florida Atlantic University, joins us to talk about what he's seeing with labor trends in the hospitality industry. He also shares some creative ideas for staffing and attracting new workers. Enjoy this week's episode!
