It's already June, which means peak season is either here or right around the corner. For hospitality leaders across hotels, golf courses, restaurants, resorts, and event venues, now is the time to ensure your teams are positioned for a successful summer.
A few key areas to evaluate:
-
Partner with your sales team to review upcoming events, group bookings, and projected occupancy levels.
-
Assess current staffing levels, including any interns, seasonal employees, or new team members expected to join during peak demand.
-
Monitor labor market trends both nationally and locally. Are competitors increasing wages? Is talent becoming harder to attract in your area? Understanding these trends can help you adjust hiring strategies, compensation, and workforce planning before peak demand arrives.
-
Check the temperature of your team. With vacations and time-off requests increasing throughout the summer, determine where additional support may be needed to maintain service levels.
- Look ahead to the third and fourth quarters. Are there positions you anticipate opening later this year? While summer hiring can be competitive, it's also an excellent opportunity to build a pipeline of qualified candidates before critical hiring needs arise.
