To help hospitality employers effectively plan for their business future, Hosco has been conducting sentiment surveys focused on recruitment since the start of COVID-19.

We call this survey Hospitality Pulse, and it gives you insights into the impact the pandemic has had and continues to have on the hospitality industry each quarter.

This report covers topics such as the extent winter and spring season recruitment plans will be affected by the pandemic, and when hospitality companies expect to regain their pre-COVID team size, and much more.  

The responses come from hospitality HR specialists, business owners, and General Managers from the EMEA region. Winter’s survey took place between the 5th and 17th December

What Data Will You Find in Winter’s Hospitality Pulse?

Winter’s Hospitality Pulse examines the data obtained through the survey. You will also find some comparisons between the data from April and Winter 2021, allowing you to understand how hospitality employers’ expectations and hiring plans have changed over time.

April’s Hospitality Pulse showed that there was still caution in the hiring plans of businesses in the industry. How has the rise of the new variants since then affected plans for the Winter/Spring season in 2022, especially when it appears that Omicron is a somewhat milder version of Covid?
