With new Hotel openings in Quintana Roo, the staff shortage persists, so the sector continues to search for more talent for its staff since they present between a 5% and 10% deficit.
Eduardo Domínguez Ibarra, vice president of the Hotel Association of Cancún, Puerto Morelos and Isla Mujeres, pointed out that hotels maintain job fairs in the offices with more than 14 hotels that announce their offer.
“What we have in vacancies now continues to be the operational areas, such as the kitchen, waiters, public areas, housekeepers, and with salaries ranging from eight thousand to 22 thousand pesos, which we believe are very competitive and even also An important factor to consider is the issue of age, in which people are hired up to 59 years of age,” said Domínguez, as reported by Sipse.
New Hotel openings require hiring staff, which is why there is a high degree of turnover. “The fairs have worked a lot, since a person who arrives leaves their applications and has contact with more than one lodging center, something that is very encouraging since the possibilities of being hired with their profile increase,” commented Domínguez.
As reported REPORTUR.mxIn May, the Hotel sector in Cancun had a deficit of up to 8% of the workforce. This is especially due to high staff turnover, as young people called “centennials” are looking for better opportunities. (Cancun: hoteliers suffer high staff turnover due to salaries).
According to Labor Trends 2024, at least three out of every 10 workers change jobs when they find a better salary, which has become the main factor for job rotation to occur, often due to minimal differences between salaries, as well as Beatriz Robles, Director of Operations at Manpower, pointed this out at the time.
