Human Resources

Braidwood assists our client hotels with strategic human resource planning and is experienced in recruiting and selecting the senior management and department head positions needed to operate a successful hotel.

We also understand the process of recruiting and hiring hotel employees is critical considering the alternative will result in expensive and repetitive errors. Recruiting, training and retention of qualified staff are an expensive proposition for any business but hiring the wrong staff resulting in constant turn-over and low employee moral is even more expensive.

Braidwood can help to develop your pro-active hotel human resource strategy in advance of critical need ensuring the smooth operation of your hotel and reducing the potential for costly errors in judgement.

We are familiar with the critical steps involved in the process of human resource planning. We know what skills are required that help identify potential employees applying for available positions. We can help with writing relevant hotel job descriptions, identifying lines of reporting, the setting of competitive hotel wage scales and the introduction of ongoing training and development programs knowing that identifying these and other steps will leave nothing to chance.

Recruiting and retention is influenced by many factors. The location and seasonality of the hotel, availability of human resources matching identified skill sets, the financial resources of the organization and language skills all can affect the hotel’s ability to recruit qualified employees.
