Many companies aim to distinguish themselves through hospitality, but few truly succeed. Too often, hospitality is seen as a vague or superficial concept. Employees may think: "We’re already hospitable, right?" In reality, a lack of hospitality is rarely the fault of employees. Leaders—both formal and informal—play a crucial role in creating a hospitable culture. It starts internally: when employees feel welcomed and valued, they naturally extend the same warmth to guests. This book shows you how to build a culture where employees love to work and guests love to return.
In practice, the lack of hospitality is rarely down to employees. Leaders, formal and informal, play a crucial role in creating a hospitable culture. This starts internally: employees feel welcome and encouraged to be hospitable. This book tells you how to create a hospitable culture where employees love to work and guests love to come back.
Available in hardcover, e-book and audiobook.
