The hiring game

Article Abstract:

Hospitality operators across Canada are competing hard to attract and retain qualified employees because of labor shortage. While hospitality colleges attempt to gear curriculum to the demand of the marketplace, they are unable to supply talent that can meet the quality and volume needs of foodservice establishments. To address this problem, operators provide the necessary training for their employees and offer them incentives that include competitive pay, benefits and reasonable working schedules.
