Hello and welcome to the February issue of Tomorrow’s FM.
Having gone through a torrid 24 months, the hospitality industry is now experiencing a skills shortage, which, according to Ronan Harte, Chief Executive Officer of BaxterStorey, is presenting new challenges regarding recruitment. According to research, three in ten hospitality businesses are currently finding vacancies difficult to fill. It’s not an issue exclusively for the hospitality sector, there’s a deficit of skilled workers in many industries that interweave with FM, but it is making the recovery from the pandemic harder for all involved.

Harte, in his feature for our Food & Drink spotlight this month, highlights the need for investment in order to address the skills gap. A confident approach to building back faster and stronger, he says, requires an equally bold recruitment strategy, which promotes a more diverse workforce – from brilliant chefs and baristas to those working behind the scenes in the supply chain, sustainability and training. Elsewhere in the section, Bennet Hay looks at how caterers are adapting to a less densified office and the impact that the workplace is having on networking and teams getting together again.
We’re also back analysing Recycling & Waste Management this month, with ESE World taking a deep dive on sustainable procurement and Fairview FM looking at why some companies’ recycling processes are inadequate and what they can do to recover significant rebates from changing the practices.
Cleaning & Hygiene and Training & CPD round off our spotlights this month, and we also take a look at everything that’s been happening across the FM industry in the What’s New section.
Enjoy the read.
