On the podcast today we’re kicking off a feature on talent management to understand how the hospitality industry can protect its key asset - people.

In part one we focus on people strategy and find out how leading hospitality businesses foster a positive work culture.

In conversations with Jonathan Crookall, Chief People Officer, Costa Coffee, Brooke Gray, Director of People, Equator Coffees and Henry Ayers, Co-founder, The Gentlemen Baristas, we discuss the staffing challenges they are currently facing, what they look for in potential employees and how they keep teams motivated to deliver exceptional customer service.
