many new technology came and have made so many
creative innovations in the hotels but the work of human

THESE ARE SOME OF THE
COMMON ISSUES

Covid - 19
Personal
& official
issues
Lack of skilled employees
Hotels in now a days requires the employees
who have done the course of hotel management
but the students are not aware of the needs of
students of hotel management.
In the current world, the students have no focus
on the hospitality sector as it is limited to an
extent and gives less ROI, causing less number
of hotel management graduates.
Even if the hotel get some graduates of hotel
management they still search for someone who is
more productive then the current employee,
because of which it cause the lack of job
security, leading the employees to leave the job.
To increase the skilled employees, hotels must
have to collaborate and should promote the HM
course by giving better career opportunity to the
student and employees.

Covid-19
The second issue that is causing the shortage of staff is covif-19, all the
people’s in the world are witness that how disastrous the corona virus
pandemic was and how much does it have caused to society.
Not only hospitality but every sector of economy had some effects
because of this pandemic, but there is one thing common in that the effect
this pandemic has shown to every sector is negative.
Because of the fear of bad health condition and covid-19 employees have
left their job and went to their home place with the family to live
Another major reason is that due to lack of isolation facilities are given
by government people’s choose themselves to get isolated in a hotel room
for some days which has set the mindset of employees working in hotel
as life threatening
Even the government have also used some of the hotel as the place to
isolate due to which many employees have left their job.

Personal & official issues
There are some personal and official issues of
the employees that has cause them to leave the
job. These are the factor that cannot be focused
on but harm or may make the employee less-
interested of their job.
These issues can put pressure on the employees
because other employees have left the job
leading to high work on the present employees
and this may cause them to leave the job.
If the employee founds the good earning
opportunity in another hotel then that employee
can go there and this may cause shortage of
staff.
Employee getting bored of the work that the
employee is doing and wanting to change it’s
working sector may cause disturbance to firm
