Hospitality businesses need to adopt an inclusive approach to their recruitment to try and solve the industry’s vacancy crisis, according to Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Destination Coventry and Coventry City Council, recently brought together a panel of hospitality and event experts at a Recruitment and Skills Summit. The panel, which included UKHospitality’s Skills Director Sandra Kelly, discussed staffing, recruitment and skills challenges.
The summit comes at a time when staff shortages are causing one in three UK-based hospitality businesses to close on one or more days a week, according to a recent UKHospitality survey. Meanwhile the latest Office for National Statistics data shows there are around 152,000 hospitality vacancies in the UK.
