Based on data from Alkimii Insights, this whitepaper provides actionable strategies to boost retention, reduce turnover, and build stronger leadership pipelines - ensuring every generation can thrive in your workplace.

Adapting to a Multigenerational Workforce

With Gen Z now representing 44% of the hospitality workforce - yet have the shortest average tenure - hotels must rethink onboarding, communication, and career progression. Millennials are emerging as the backbone of mid-senior roles, while Gen X and Baby Boomers bring invaluable stability.

This whitepaper highlights how attendance, lateness, and digital engagement trends differ sharply by generation, with practical solutions for each.

• As aforementioned, Gen Z now makes up 44% of the hotel workforce - but 38% of these leave within their first year.
• Gen X holds over 54% of General Manager roles and succession planning is crucial.
• Millennials are stepping into leadership, holding nearly 40% of GM roles across Irish hotels.
• Millennials are also the most digitally engaged generation, leading in messages, reactions, and posts.

What You’ll Learn:

• Data-powered insights on attendance, turnover, and engagement across four generations
• Onboarding and scheduling best practices tailored to Gen Z
• Communication and leadership tips for various age groups
