A great new comedic spoof called "Hotelier Idol", that aims to further awareness about the Hotel Industry Jobs, Training and Retention crisis. Hotel recruitment is already a hot topic for debate in the industry, with traditional job markets coming into their own, rising living costs and new destinations cropping up. So is finding skill and training fresh hands to cope with demand...the site presents its first 'Season' called 'So you want to be a hotel general manager' with panelists and some rather unique and entertaining candidates. Enjoy! Visit www.hotelieridol.com


Taken from the site:

So just what are the questions plaguing owners and managers alike in the hotel industry now and in times to come?

* Great hotels aside...who's going to run them? With 'traditional' labour markets coming into their own, where will we hire skilled staff from? ...or forget the skills, where do we find these bodies!!
* Will the people we hire be able to meet the ever-increasing service standards expected by our guests? Or shall they be employed based on the sole criteria of 'two hands, two feet and a pulse...''? How will we train these bodies...or will hospitality robots be the future?
* Will my great employees stick around after all that time and money spent on training & developing them (or the absence of it)? Will they walk out the door to the next big property that pays just a little more? How will we retain any talent we discover and nurture?
