The Strong and Positive Effect of a Culture of Service on Hospitality

Culture of Service

A strong culture of service has been having an impact on hospitality and businesses in general. Have you noticed that many companies seem to be changing their public perception to both employees and customers?  It seems to be a common trend in the news these days. Starting with the leadership at the top, positive changes have been occurring like providing more comfortable workspaces, diversity, and team building activities to create more cohesion among co-workers.  This positive effect leads employees to value their job and company more, want to stay long-term, and have a better attitude about their day-to-day life.  This can be largely credited to a focus on an effective “culture of service.”

Hybrid and Remote Workers Increase Business for Hospitality Properties

Hybrid and Remote Workers

The last few years have seen a rise in hybrid and remote workers. The hospitality industry has experienced major changes during that time as well.  The industry has been forced to deal with issues like staffing shortages and supply chain issues on a month-to-month basis.  However, folks working in this industry and running the properties have been resilient and ready to adapt their business operations to meet the constantly changing day-to-day operations.  Some changes to the industry will likely remain permanent.  The new way guests travel is a trend likely to stay.  The pandemic brought a major shift to remote work for many companies.  The hybrid work schedule has created new terms that hospitality workers need to be familiar with, and there are new opportunities available for properties to attract hybrid or remote workers to their properties.
