Durante los últimos dos años, la pandemia de COVID-19 ha creado más competencia para las personas que ahora tienen más opciones profesionales impulsadas por la tecnología y el trabajo remoto. La necesidad de que las personas se unan a la industria hotelera y se conviertan en profesionales calificados es fundamental no solo para la industria de restaurantes, sino también en hoteles, hospitales, universidades, centros de conferencias y cafeterías corporativas.
The food service and hospitality industry play a significant role as an economic driver. However, without qualified professionals, the industry has slowed down the overall post-pandemic economic recovery. The concerns of meeting national labor shortages go well beyond food service. According to the National Association of Business Economics (NABE), 47% of businesses report a shortage of skilled workers. In junio 2021, job openings in the U.S. hit a record of more than ten million. Food service companies have been seeing that potential employees are facing new family responsibilities, fear of infection, and increased interest in career changes.
Para hacer frente a la escasez de personal sísmico en Nueva Inglaterra y en todo Estados Unidos, necesitaremos la colaboración de asociaciones públicas y privadas comprometidas con la creación de una fuente de profesionales. Estas asociaciones público-privadas deben incluir organizaciones gubernamentales y sin fines de lucro que actuarían como vehículos de promoción para los profesionales.
For the last twenty years, we at Snapchef have always taken immense pride in fostering inspiration and innovation across the food service and hospitality industry. Our team of Snapchefs has been highly resilient to turnover and we’re actively recruiting to meet the increasing demand of our clients facing staffing shortages.
