Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Tourism Industry: Discussion
10:35 am
Mr. Stephen McNally:
To add to that Chairman, the Irish Hotels Federation runs a quality employer programme. Our members sign up to codes of practice in terms of dealing with people. That has made our industry a lot more attractive in that employees are given adequate hours, a regular pattern of work and proper contracts. That has been hugely beneficial. We believe that staff retention will be much higher in the future as a result of that.
