Hospitality Talent Training and Retention 2025: The Incalculable Value of Human Capital
In 2025, the shortage of skilled personnel will continue to be one of the biggest challenges for the hospitality industry. Beyond recruitment strategies, the key to success will lie in ongoing training and, crucially, talent retention . Businesses that invest in the development of their teams and cultivate a positive and motivating work environment will be the ones that not only survive, but thrive.
Although Marba.es focuses on machinery, equipment, and spare parts , we understand that the best technology is useless without expert hands to operate it. Therefore, a well-equipped kitchen with efficient tools indirectly contributes to staff satisfaction and performance.
