Summary of the key points presented in the article:(minimum of 200word)
This article highlights the importance of recruiting as well as retaining talent in
an organization, largely because of how competitive and profit oriented the market
place has become in today’s day and age. Talented people need to be hired in large
numbers to keep an organization functioning as profitably as it should be. The article
specifically points out the importance and the need for recruiting and retaining
women leaders in business orgnizations. The special focus area of the article is the
hospitality industry. The author of the article argues that while women are seen to
constitute half of the workforce in the country of America, it is in the domain of
hospitality that women are represented better than men, compared to other
industries. Women comprise as much as fifty to seventy percent of the population in
the hospitality industry. The article therefore argues that women should definitely be
recruited to positions of power and leadership in the hospitailty sector. The
hospitality industry is heavily populated today by women and the author of the article
therefore believes that by attracting, engaging and retaining women in their
organizations, especially in positions of leadership, a definite competitive advantage
can be created, that will suit both women, as well as the owners of such hospitality
organiztions.
