In 2020, thousands of people lost their jobs due to the impact of Covid-19. A brighter economic future is expected in 2021, which will hopefully help businesses recover lost talent.

Some industries are expected to see a ‘V-Shaped’ revenue recovery. Hospitality is predicted to be one of those industries. Currently, hospitality companies are operating on a skeleton staff, so the need for talent in the latter half of 2021 will be great.

However, many hospitality employees shifted to careers in other industries, so trying to rehire lost talent may be challenging. How can HR leaders strategize to reengage the lost workforce, and rebuild employee’s trust?

• Why a mentor mindset may be more impactful than a manager mindset
