🌸 What’s New This Spring?

Our latest newsletter dives into the real costs of hiring (spoiler: it’s more than just wages), shares hospitality trends from Director Claire Hall, and introduces brand-new services that can transform how your team works — from leadership coaching to smarter recruitment.

But let’s pause on one of the biggest takeaways…

💼 Hidden Hiring Costs: Have You Counted Them All?

If you’ve ever posted a job ad, held interviews, and crossed your fingers that your new hire sticks around, this one’s for you. Recruiting in hospitality and customer-facing roles is expensive when it’s not done strategically.

We ask a big question in our newsletter:

🌱 Services Designed for 2025 and Beyond

This year, we’ve added coaching, mentoring, and new training topics that reflect what our clients have been asking for — and what the industry needs right now.

Whether it’s:

• Coaching new team leaders
  
• Workshops on managing burnout
  
• Housekeeping and kitchen management training
  … we’ve got it covered.
  

These additions are practical, down-to-earth, and focused on real business results — just like everything we do.

👥 Smarter Recruitment. Happier Teams.

Let’s face it: recruitment can be overwhelming. But we’ve developed a simple, supportive approach that works, especially for small teams and independent businesses.

From standout job ads to interview support and retention strategies, our recruitment services are all about saving you time and money.

🧠 Why In-Person Training is Making a Comeback

Zoom fatigue is real. We’ve seen a big return to face-to-face training — and with it, better engagement and stronger team bonds. Our on-site sessions are tailored to your team and delivered with a side of humour and real-world know-how.

Curious to try it for your team? You’ll love what we’ve shared in this spring’s newsletter.
