O papel branco "Faça o trabalho da Grã -Bretanha" visa reduzir a inatividade econômica e aumentar a taxa nacional de emprego para 80%. A hospitalidade-tanto como líder de negócios quanto por meio de iniciativas como minha própria arte de conferências de hospitalidade-já vi em primeira mão quanto a indústria lutou para se recuperar da crise do pessoal pós-Covid. Criou um desafio duradouro em encontrar e reter talentos. Boa equipe, sempre um tesouro, ficou mais difícil do que nunca. Ao incentivar mais pessoas a considerar carreiras e fornecer financiamento para o desenvolvimento de habilidades, o Livro Branco oferece à hospitalidade uma chance de combater suas vagas com indivíduos ansiosos e capazes. Em colaboração com a Chester Hospitality Association, apoiei campanhas como a Connect Hospitality, que levam a indústria às escolas para mostrar aos jovens a amplitude das oportunidades disponíveis. Da cozinha à recepção, do marketing à gerência, há um papel para todos em hospitalidade. Esses esforços foram sobre mostrar aos alunos que a hospitalidade não é apenas um trabalho de stoptap - é um caminho para o sucesso. É um desafio para nós na hospitalidade. Estamos prontos para abraçar esta oportunidade? Podemos nos posicionar como uma indústria de escolha para aqueles que entram na força de trabalho ou iniciando suas carreiras?
With initiatives such as overhauling the National Careers Service, launching a Youth Guarantee, and reforming the Apprenticeship Levy, this campaign could be exactly what industries like hospitality need to thrive.
As someone deeply involved in hospitality—both as a business leader and through initiatives like my own Art of Hospitality conferences—I’ve seen firsthand how much the industry has struggled to recover from the staffing crisis post-COVID.
The pandemic didn’t just disrupt operations; it created a long-lasting challenge in finding and retaining talent. Good staff, always a treasure, have become harder than ever to come by.
This campaign offers a much-needed lifeline. By encouraging more people to consider careers and providing funding for skills development, the white paper gives hospitality a fighting chance to fill its vacancies with eager and capable individuals.
It is an opportunity for us to showcase what our industry has to offer—not just jobs, but careers, experiences, and a sense of purpose.
I’ve personally taken steps to address these challenges. In collaboration with the Chester Hospitality Association, I’ve supported campaigns like Connect Hospitality, which brings the industry into schools to show young people the breadth of opportunities available. From the kitchen to the front desk, from marketing to management, there’s a role for everyone in hospitality.
I’ve also visited schools to speak about the industry’s potential, highlighting the benefits of working in hospitality, such as flexibility, progression, and the chance to work in a dynamic, people-focused environment. These efforts have been about showing students that hospitality isn’t just a stopgap job—it’s a pathway to success.
The white paper isn’t just a government initiative; it’s a challenge to us in hospitality. Are we ready to embrace this opportunity? Can we position ourselves as an industry of choice for those re-entering the workforce or starting their careers?
Esta campanha é mais do que apenas uma oportunidade de encontrar funcionários; É uma chance de reformular como as pessoas visualizam carreiras de hospitalidade. Esta campanha traz mais pessoas para explorar carreiras, cabe a nós recebê -las e mostrar -lhes por que a hospitalidade é uma das indústrias mais gratificantes do Reino Unido. Hospedado em janeiro!

By providing the right support and seizing this moment, we can not only solve the staffing crisis but also make hospitality an industry of aspiration and pride.
I’m committed to doing my part—through my conferences, school visits, and outreach efforts—to bring attention to what our industry can offer. If this campaign brings more people to explore careers, it’s up to us to welcome them and show them why hospitality is one of the most rewarding industries in the UK.
Let’s work together to get Britain working—and ensure hospitality thrives in the process.
If you love hospitality and are eager to improve our industry, then come along to our next conference The Art of Hospitality that talks all things hospitality, hosted in January! Learn more and get your tickets here
