activities is reduced. This results employee's face various challenges and it creates challenges for
workforce to manage work in a proper manner. Therefore, it is mandatory for an organisation
and the investigator to complete all task in an organised manner specifically to improve their
work methods in order to reduce the risk related with employee's health. It define about all work
aspect and it aids workers for completing work according to supportive factors that increase and
expose all global factors to induce about health related factors that protect workforce from
getting affected because of current diseases.

Title: To investigate the impact of Covid-19 on employee’s job in the context of UK hospitality
sector: A study on Hilton
INTRODUCTION
In the present scenario, pandemic conditions formulate various challenges or issue that
generate problems for organisation to perform their work in an appropriate manner. Covid-19
formulate long term problems and it results management face challenges to manage and retain
similar profits (Reardon, Bellemare and Zilberman, 2020). With investigate about all factors
related with pandemic conditions management analyse the number of surroundings to generate
centre that manage and prevent challenges related with workforce. Further, healthcare
organisation around all over the world support employee's and individuals to manage and control
disease. Until pandemic conditions gets over it is identified that impact of health, economy,

this, business activities and performance of hospitality sector is affected the most. UK hospitality
industry is marked as third biggest employer which provides range of employment opportunities
(Brown. and Cowling 2021). However, pandemic created direct impact upon the job of
employees which includes salary cut down, reverse impact on talent pool and majority of
employees become jobless (Sharma, Adhikary and Borah, 2020). For the current proposal Hilton
has been selected which provide luxurious and high quality accommodation services to their

providing employment opportunities. Nevertheless, after pandemic it is the only sector where
most of the employees become jobless. Aguiar-Quintana and et.al., (2021) also identified in their

Background
In the current times, Covid-19 affected the entire business operations adversely. Due to
this, business activities and performance of hospitality sector is affected the most. UK hospitality
industry is marked as third biggest employer which provides range of employment opportunities
(Brown. and Cowling 2021). However, pandemic created direct impact upon the job of

According to the views of Jung, Jung and Yoon (2021), the labour trend of UK hospitality
sector is fluctuating after pandemic. The hospitality industry contributes majorly in relation to
providing employment opportunities. Nevertheless, after pandemic it is the only sector where
most of the employees become jobless. Aguiar-Quintana and et.al., (2021) also identified in their
study that there is negative impact upon those individuals who have a lowest income. Therefore,
1
it is examined that there is such a rapid fall in employment where around 7.6 million jobs are at
risk in terms of reduction in salaries, temporary furloughs etc (Khan and et.al., 2021).
Chen and Eyoun (2021) presented their views that the effect of pandemic upon
hospitality sector is negative because of travel restriction most of the employees do not come to
their respective workplaces and then companies fire their employees. On the others side, Yu,
Park and Hyun (2021) also argued that due to sudden loss of jobs, existing employees gets
demotivated that also affect performance. Further, it shows that there is an adverse impact upon
the employee’s job and this also affect their behaviour as well. Apart from this, 1.25 billion
workers are employed within hospitality sector but with low paid and low skilled jobs which is
considered as a sudden loss of income (Covid-19 causes devastating losses in working hours and
employment, 2021).
Yue and Cowling (2021) explained in their study that most of the hospitality companies
deduct employee’s salary and increase working hours after pandemic, along with frequent job
cut. This reflect that there is a heavy loss of most of employee’s job and many of them work in
an informal sector that is creates reversing impact upon talent pool.

specific topic. This provide an overview about the current knowledge as it allow individuals for
identify of different theories, models, gaps and methods that exists within research. In simple
terms, literature review is explained as a search as well as evaluation of available literature
related with a specific topic. The main focus of literature review is to gather in-depth information
related with subject and it also aids to understand research into existing body to perform research
in a proper manner. Literature review demonstrate familiarity with body of knowledge and topic
that demonstrate credibility of work. Further, it also summarise about project and research
factors to investigate about all subject and gaps related with research project.
