The Caterer unveils new webinar exploring the future of shift work
The expert-led panel discussion will explore critical challenges, emerging trends and opportunities for hospitality businesses within the evolving landscape of shift work
As shift work in hospitality evolves, businesses face new opportunities alongside fresh challenges.
The Caterer’s expert-led free Shift Work in Hospitality webinar, on Tuesday 30 September, will explore these critical challenges as well as emerging trends and opportunities as the industry adapts to changing workforce expectations and a new generation of workers.
The webinar is backed by findings from our partner Deputy’s Big Shift Report, which draws on data from more than 430,000 shift workers, providing HR and culture leaders vital insight into upcoming trends.
Terry McMillan, lead demand generation marketing manager at workforce management platform Deputy, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with The Caterer on this webinar – leveraging our Big Shift Report and The Caterer’s deep industry expertise to explore the most pressing shift-work trends reshaping hospitality.
“Together, we’ll arm HR and operations leaders with actionable insights around generational expectations, flexible scheduling, night-time economy dynamics, AI’s role and more, so they can navigate the future of hospitality workforce management with confidence.”
Confirmed speakers include Dr Shashi Karunanethy, chief economist at Geografia, a demography and economics analysts and consultancy group that partnered with Deputy to uncover the findings, and Liz Flynn, people director at London pub group Cubitt House.
Whether you’re in HR, operations or hospitality leadership, The Caterer’s Shift Work in Hospitality Summit will provide actionable strategies and forward-looking insights to help you navigate the next era of shift work.
