About this guide
Running an independent hospitality business leaves little time to stand back and look at how people are managed as a whole. Problems tend to be handled as they arrive, one shift at a time.
The Hospitality HR Health Check gives you the structure to do that review. It is not an audit or a test you can fail. It is a set of honest questions that help you recognise what is already working, notice where practices are inconsistent and decide where a small number of changes would make the biggest difference.
What’s inside
- How to use the health check, with yes, partly and no scoring
- Nine health check sections: leadership and culture; recruitment and onboarding; performance and development; communication and engagement; employee relations; wellbeing, attendance and absence; policies, compliance and governance; learning and future capability; and the bigger picture
- Reflection prompts after every section
- Understanding your results and turning insight into action
- A 90-day HR improvement plan template
Who it’s for
- Owners and general managers of independent hotels, restaurants, pubs and cafés
- Operations and HR leads in small hospitality groups
