Let’s talk: Shortage of skilled labor in tourism – the scientific perspective

In this episode Prof. Dr. Stefan Remhof, professor at IU International University, shares the perspective on shortage of skilled labor from a researcher’s point of view. The IU conducted a study analyzing aspects that motivate employees to stay at their workplace. One outcome: The higher the motivation, the higher the satisfaction. But that's easier said than done, isn't it? So Remhof shares viable success factors for employers. Here are only a few: Keep employees motivated, give feedback, show anticipation and communicate. Another interesting finding (by the way, proven in our previous episode on that topic, too!) concerns Gen Z who demand freedom and guidance at the same time, which leaves employers challenged as these two seem to be quite contradictory. But there is a solution! Tune in for a very inspirational talk!
