Avoid losing foodservice staff with transparent interviews

With the strong economy in the US, more and more jobs are available resulting in more food service workers looking for a different job. Employers in the industry are attempting to use a more transparent interview process to attract and retain employees longer. One measure employers can take is to be upfront about work hours and any holidays (high or low seasons) where work can be extremely busy or quiet, even shut down for a period. Other information that can be shared includes expected attire, information about coworkers, and potential advancement opportunities.

Key Takeaways:

  • More occupations and insufficient individuals—that is one of the conditions keeping FSDs up during the evening.
  • The U.S. has included a normal of 178,000 occupations every month so far this year, surpassing 250,000 employments in both January and February, as indicated by the U.S. Division of Labor.
  • This occupation creation gives staff plentiful chance to look for another business if their present operation doesn’t satisfy desires.

“Planning a well thought-out strategy for the pre-hiring efforts using honesty, transparency and demonstrating mutually beneficial opportunities will help reduce turnover and develop a consistent, reliable and well-trained staff.”
