Hotel Staffing: The Talent Pool Hotels Keep Overlooking

Hotels keep saying they can’t find enough people. PRIDE Industries is helping hospitality employers tap into a workforce many still overlook: people with disabilities.

Glenn Haussman talks with Darleyn Pazdel, SVP of Workforce Inclusion at PRIDE Industries, about hiring, training, job coaching and why inclusive employment directly connects to one of hospitality’s biggest operating challenges.

PRIDE employs thousands of people across the country, including people with disabilities working successfully in hospitality operations, food service, engineering, laundry and more. Watch to see how hotels can expand their labor pool, reduce constant rehiring and bring more capable people into the workforce.
