As with any sector, HR’s role in hospitality is to help businesses to manage their workforce and ensure compliance with any relevant legislation. A major issue with HR in hospitality, when compared to many other industries, is that there can be a high proportion of temporary or seasonal staff, which can add complexity to the way that employees are managed, whilst still being compliant with employment law and trying to grow the business.

Effective HR in hospitality will take issues like this into account and enable to business to make policies and procedures that help to mitigate some of these potential problems, as well as ensuring compliance with employment law in every area.
