How to solve the employment problem when the hotel is busy?

Nowadays, this job is becoming more and more difficult to do, and even the five-star hotels that used to be high above are lamenting that they can't recruit people.

At present, the industry is indeed facing a long-term employment gap, the most concentrated performance is the basic posts such as room attendant, concierge and chef.

Experts in the industry believe that the hotel industry may face a vicious circle of overall profit decline and inability to retain talents in the context of the accelerated expansion of major hotel brands leading to excess resources.

Another major reason for the hotel industry to face severe employment is salary. Generally speaking, the basic post salary of five-star hotels is only more than 2,000 yuan before tax, but the work is very tedious and hard. Many people's wages are not much higher than the minimum wage.

Even if some hotels raise their salaries again and again, basic jobs are still unattended. In this regard, industry analysts believe that, first, some parents now have relatively high incomes, and the pocket money for their children is one or two thousand yuan, so many young people would rather be old than work. In addition, many young people do not want to be waiters, but prefer to be clerks and salesmen.

According to an industry insider, the housekeeping department accounts for the largest proportion of hotel employees, and employees are busy cleaning rooms and making beds for 8 hours every day. The concierge department needs someone to be on duty 24 hours a day, with two or three shifts depending on the number of employees in the department. The concierge department often needs to carry luggage and call a car for guests, which is almost too busy. This workload corresponds to a lower salary level, which is also the reason why many people leave their jobs.

Excess hotels will inevitably lead to increased competition, lower income and worse wages for employees. Over time, some hotels will eventually be eliminated. The fundamental solution to this situation is to control the total number of hotels. For example, there are specific plans for how many new hotels are opened in Hong Kong every year.
