Hospitality ‘only has itself to blame’ for recruitment crisis | thecaterer.com
The hospitality industry “only has itself to blame” for its recruitment crisis. That’s according to the Unite union, which has responded to news this morning from the British Hospitality Association (BHA) that it could take 10 years to fill the sector’s skills gap and reduce its reliance on EU workers. The BHA has produced a 10-year plan calling for continued access to the EU workforce, with the reliance on foreign workers steadily declining throughout the period. The BHA recommends that the gap could be filled by focusing on three main sections of the population – the unemployed, returners to the labour market such as older people, and the next generation.
