Our offices have seen the arrival of waves of technology in recent years, including IT, video conferencing, AI and mobility. Work is no longer a place we go, but rather a thing we do in different places. That means it’s time to ask some tough questions about the function our  workplaces  really fulfil. In other words: Today’s workplace: is it really an office — or is it a meeting venue instead? Let’s just take a moment to think about that. You definitely go there to do a particular thing You visit the place to meet people It has the equipment you need to achieve your targets It’s fun being there (or should be) Well, that certainly sounds like a venue.

Maybe you got rid of them because they stunk at the job. Or maybe they left because they didn’t like your working environment? This is particularly common with the younger people who make up a high proportion of hospitality staff. But with recruitment now a nightmare, ask yourself this question: Is this really the time to give up on my staff? Or is it time to have a rethink about how they work together — and how the working environment you provide is hitting their productivity and wellbeing? Productivity has historically been low in the hospitality industry — it’s said to run at about a third of the productivity in manufacturing. Why’s that? Many reasons.
