Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Denyse Campbell:

The Deputy referred to the changes in people’s requirements when they came back to work after the pandemic. We can see that in the industry. We have offered shorter shifts and have more flexible work rosters. A core focus of the federation is employees’ well-being and welfare, in addition to training and upskilling. It is definitely the case that rosters are shorter.

Reference was made to attracting organisations that are different from those attracted in the past. A lot of work is being done in this regard.

The federation has a quality employer programme, QEP, which assists all our members so they can be compliant and promote excellent human resource management at all times.
