The hospitality industry has a concerningly high turnover rate, and things don’t seem to be improving. An astounding 42% of new employees in hospitality leave their jobs within just 90 days. More than 80% of hospitality operators are facing recruitment and retention challenges, and 46% of hospitality workers are only paid the National Minimum Wage – which further exacerbates the negative cycle. This isn’t a sustainable situation, and it’s leading to all kinds of problems. Luckily, some change appears to be on the horizon.
