  • Episode Title: Employee Wellbeing After a Busy Summer Season in Hospitality Hosts: Lucy & Ruth Episode Summary: In this episode of Simply Hospitality, Lucy and Ruth tackle a vital yet often overlooked topic in the hospitality industry—employee wellbeing, especially after the demanding summer season. The summer rush can leave teams exhausted, making it crucial for leaders to refocus on supporting their people as things slow down. Lucy shares three actionable tips to help you nurture your team’s wellbeing, boost morale, and set the stage for long-term success. Key Takeaways: • The Importance of Wellbeing: • Research shows happier employees are 13% more productive (Oxford University). • Investing $1 in employee wellbeing can yield up to $2.30 in productivity (PwC Australia). • • Tip #1: Acknowledge and Celebrate Efforts • Hosting post-summer events, sending personalized thank-yous, or creating awards like “Summer Stars” can significantly boost morale. • Action Idea: Create a peer-nominated award to foster a culture of appreciation. • Tip #2: Offer Flexible Recovery Time • Provide opportunities for staff to take shorter shifts or rest with some annual leave after the summer season to prevent burnout. • Action Idea: Implement a “recharge rota” for a couple of weeks, allowing team members to work reduced hours to recover. • Tip #3: Focus on Long-Term Wellbeing Initiatives • Go beyond immediate recovery by introducing ongoing wellness programs such as mental health resources, workshops, or fitness classes. • Action Idea: Partner with a wellness professional to offer monthly workshops on topics like stress management or mindfulness. Final Thoughts: Employee wellbeing is an ongoing commitment. By taking these steps, you can ensure your team feels valued, rested, and supported. As a result, you’ll see positive impacts on their productivity, job satisfaction, and ultimately, your business's success.
