At the start of 2018 we outlined our key topics for 2018; Brexit, attracting new talent, retaining existing talent, flexible working and health & well-being.
On Tuesday 20th March the CJUK team will be at Northern Restaurant & Bar discussing these topics and more at our free event, CJUK Live.
We will be championing flexible working through our #ABetterWay message and bringing our desire to create a better work-life balance in hospitality to the table at NRB 18, talking directly to the industry about everything we believe so passionately about.
We’ll be taking the subject of how to attract and retain talent to the stage when we lead a panel discussion on ‘An Industry in Crisis?’ talking about the chronic skills shortage, shrinking labour pool and the 1.3 million people needed in the hospitality industry by 2024.
CJUK Live will see our panel of hospitality experts address key issues the sector currently faces and offering their expert opinions. With help from the audience, they will discuss ways
to combat the crippling skills shortage in our industry and provide employment solutions for
organisations across the country.
