Event Details
With the tourism sector facing a serious staffing shortfall, employers need to get creative – and smarter – in how we build and sustain our workforce. Learning to get by with a smaller and more nimble staff is not just necessary, but it’s potentially transformative: we have the opportunity to rethink our recruitment strategies, restructure how our teams work together, and re-imagine the products that we offer. As we move towards a new normal of a fluid and dynamic labour force, fostering a focus on skills and competencies rather than jobs will allow us to reach the untapped potential of everyone we work with.
