Just as you can't "pour from an empty cup," hotels can't provide great service without the help of great staff - hospitality professionals know this to be unequivocally true. Hospitality is, in many ways, defined by its providers. Great hospitality isn't simply the provision of a singular service; instead, it's an experience, one that is continuously curated and delivered in a meaningful way via engaged staff, a pristine property, and the best available technological advances. Despite this, hiring has always been a crux of our industry, from technology to management, front desk, and beyond. The pandemic has severely impacted our sector's professional growth and evolution. According to the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA), COVID-19 has wiped out a decade of hotel job growth and accounted for 39% of all jobs lost in the United States. Hotels are down half a million jobs below the industry's pre-pandemic level of 2.3 million employees. These numbers are US-centric; however, the situation affects hoteliers worldwide.
