Crew Panel

With an increased focus on how to attract, train and keep great crew members we focus on the tech that helps achieve a high wellbeing and retention rate for crew. The ability to attract, train, and retain top-tier crew members has become a defining factor for operational excellence and guest satisfaction. With shifting workforce dynamics, heightened expectations from employees, and increasing competition for skilled talent, organisations must rethink their approaches to recruitment, development, and retention. This panel session will delve into innovative strategies, real-world challenges, and actionable insights on building a robust and engaged workforce. From leveraging technology to enhance recruitment processes, to creating training programmes that inspire growth, and fostering cultures that encourage loyalty, we will explore the critical elements required to assemble and sustain world-class teams in today’s evolving workplace environment.
