How to Retain Talent in Hospitality Companies? According to the results of the Tourism Barometer in Portugal- April 2024, tourism professionals highlight three key indicators for the sector's growth in the near future: • Number of People Employed • External Tourism Demand • Tourism Activity However, Portugal and the Tourism and Hospitality sector face significant challenges due to the lack of human resources. 💡 In response to this issue, the Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa in partnership with TNews, will hold the 1st Conference | Human Resources in the Tourism Sector, on September 24, 2024, at 2:45 PM, in Auditorium 1 of the university in Lisbon.💡 But how can we counter the trend of high turnover and retain talent in the hospitality industry? Here are 5 points that can help in this crucial mission: ❇ Attractive Working Conditions Offering flexible schedules, discounts on stays, and attractive salaries are essential elements to attract and retain employees. ❇Task Automation Automating tasks increases productivity and reduces errors, allowing employees to focus on providing quality service to guests. ❇ Intuitive and Efficient Software The software used daily should be fast, intuitive, and user-friendly. This reduces stress and allows the team to focus on customer service. For example, Newhotel software stands out for its efficiency and ease of use, promoting a more satisfying work experience. 💡 https://bit.ly/3Wn5Df2 ❇ Professional Development Investing in continuous training, professional development, and salary increases shows employees that the company values their growth and commitment. ❇ Positive Organizational Culture Companies that listen to and value their employees' opinions tend to retain more talent.

Last year more than 25 million visitors travelled to Portugal and the World Travel & Tourism Council recently revealed that the tourism sector’s economic contribution is expected to exceed €54B in 2024, supporting more than one million jobs. Hilton, which has been present in Portugal since 2007, now has 25 hotels and over the past few years we’ve truly capitalised on owners’ growing appetite for our award-winning brands and rising traveller demand.      We’ve introduced several new brands, with particularly strong growth for our Curio Collection by Hilton and Tapestry by Hilton brands, including the recently opened DUO Hotel Lisbon, Curio Collection by Hilton. We expect at least 11 hotels to join our Portuguese portfolio in the coming years, including the recently announced Canopy by Hilton Vilamoura Marina, the DoubleTree by Hilton Lisbon Airport and the Santo André Beach Hotel, Tapestry Collection by Hilton - our first property in the lesser explored Setúbal region.
