The hospitality industry is colossal, and demand for high-quality accommodations continues to ramp up. Although more Americans are traveling and indulging in luxury vacations, the worker shortage is persisting. If you’re struggling to hire quality candidates as quickly as you need them, you may be concerned about the toll open positions are taking on your current staff. If you’re feeling the pinch from a lack of workers, you’ll benefit from working with a top-tier temporary hospitality staffing agency. We source only the best independent contractors who are ready and able to step into any hotel management role. Here’s an analysis of how these valuable contractors can improve full-time employee retention at your property: 

Take the Pressure Off Existing Staff

There are currently an estimated 1.5 million job openings in the hospitality industry. That’s a lot of positions to fill, and there simply aren’t enough workers to meet the demand. Despite the additional H-2B temporary foreign worker visas issued for 2023, properties across the nation are struggling to keep up. 

If you’re a hiring manager, you already know how challenging it is to find qualified candidates. When job listings are fruitless for months, the seasoned, full-time staff on your team unfortunately bear the brunt. Preventing burnout is one of the best things you can do for your employees, and ensuring that no one is having to pick up the slack caused by vacant positions goes a long way toward promoting staff well-being. 

Improve Workflow

The work environment plays a significant role in employee outlook (and therefore, retention). The success of your property depends upon finding and keeping top talent, so it’s crucial to foster positive working conditions for your valuable staff. Many hiring managers are familiar with the scenario of hiring short-term workers in an attempt to fill the gap, only to realize that this practice leads to more chaos. New temporary hires who aren’t highly experienced and familiar will require adequate training, which can be impossible when you’re already playing catch up. This can lead to a massively disrupted workflow for the entire team, which is the last thing anyone wants. 

When your goal is to ensure efficiency, bringing on highly experienced contractors is the ideal solution. Our thoroughly-vetted independent contractors have a minimum of 10 years experience in their field and the vast majority have at least 20, so they often have the capability to improve upon existing operations (if desired) and are ready to jump right into the role with just a short briefing on expectations. Additionally, they contribute to a better work environment because they know their foremost priority is to provide unparalleled support to the existing team.
