Abstract
Recruitment agency Blue Arrow says staff shortages have caused 45% of operators to cut trading hours or capacity, which has cost the hospitality industry £21Bn in lost venue.

A combination of Covid-19, supply chain problems and the cost of living crisis is exacerbating existing long-term staffing problems in the catering and hospitality sector.

Blue Arrow has produced a report recommending how employers can step up with long-term holistic strategies to tackle staffing and skills shortages.

The report suggests solutions employers could consider including a re-evaluation of their employer value proposition (EVP) to remain competitive as well as considering other talent pools to help overcome the staffing shortages.

As a staffing specialist supplying many thousands of catering staff to all shapes and size of companies, Blue Arrow is committed to playing its part in finding solutions that help its clients overcome talent shortages for this critical key worker occupation.
