More stress has been placed on employees than usual, from pandemic-related restrictions to supply issues. With plenty of other crunches expected in the coming months, recognising hospitality staff has never been more important.\n\nDo you want to show your hardworking hospitality staff how much you value their contribution? We\u2019ve included some of our favourite ways to share your appreciation.\n

Why reward your hospitality staff?<\/h2>\nRewarding your team boosts morale, increases wellbeing and makes your workplace a happier place to be. It can also do wonders for your retention rate, which tends to be a pain point for many organisations in the hospitality business.\n\nAccording to Big Hospitality<\/a>, June 2022 saw 5.7% of the entire workforce leave, and an even higher percentage of pub workers, 7.1%, threw in the towel.\n\nWith a churn rate of approximately 6% per month, high staff turnover remains a key concern \u2013 so why not give your hardworking staff a few good reasons to stick with you?\n

When to reward hospitality staff<\/h2>\nA good reward and recognition system<\/a> doesn\u2019t wait until something exceptional happens to dish out praise. It pays attention to everyday successes and small wins too! Create a balance between big and small reasons for celebration for a more harmonious workplace. Stuck for inspiration? Look out for opportunities like:\n

They meet the goals you set out together<\/h3>\nYou might take notice when people don\u2019t hit their goals and start falling behind, but what about when others achieve the goals you\u2019ve set for them?\n\nStrong and sustainable progress is perfect if you want employees to grow and learn without suffering from burnout<\/a>, so it\u2019s a great idea to reward employees who are steadily working to meet goals and improve their performance.\n

They get name-checked in a positive review<\/h3>\nDo you actively monitor review platforms like TrustPilot or Google Business Reviews? If so, look for instances when particular employees are called out for their excellent service.\n\nMore people than ever using Google to evaluate local businesses<\/a> before making a choice (up to 81% in 2021) and happy customers are always the name of the game. If you know that your employees are doing everything they can to provide great service, why not reward them for it?\n

They do good things for your team<\/h3>\nRather than limiting your recognition program to hitting specific targets, it can be really useful to take a holistic look at how your employees behave \u2013 especially in high-pressure industries like hospitality.\n\nTeamwork is essential, and when you see an employee putting effort into keeping everyone working together, it\u2019s worth investing in doing something that will make them feel good.\n\n
