Preventing High Employee Turnover: Best Practices for Las Vegas Hotel Hiring Managers

Hiring great new hotel employees is hard work. Therefore, you want to hire people who will stay with your hotel for at least the foreseeable future, but things haven’t exactly been going as planned.

Like many other Las Vegas hotels, your turnover levels are currently sky high. This has left you feeling discouraged, because it seems like you’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of hiring and resignation letters. Thankfully, it doesn’t have to be that way. Here’s some advice to turn things around.

Four Best Practices to Reduce Turnover at Las Vegas Hotels

Ask the Right Interview Questions

There’s no way to know for sure if a new hire will stick around for the long term, but asking the right interview questions can provide telling clues. For example, asking “Why do you want to leave your current job?” can provide insights on the candidate’s career trajectory. Additionally, asking “Why do you want to work for our hotel?” can offer important information on whether the person actually has their sights set on your team or just wants a job.

Thoroughly Screen Candidates

A job interview provides surface-level information about candidates, but you need more than that. This is why it’s so important to perform a thorough background check on each candidate before extending a job offer. Talking with former employers can provide you with telling information that the person probably won’t be a great fit or stick around for too long.

Seek Referrals

Each of your employees has a network filled with people who could be a great fit for your team. Asking them to refer candidates can be a great idea, because they’ll only vouch for people they like, who they feel would be an asset to the team. No one wants to recommend someone with a high chance of embarrassing them by quitting shortly after being hired.

Work With a Staffing Agency

Determining whether a candidate wants to be part of your team for years to come isn’t easy. However, recruiters interview for a living, so they’re experts at reading between the lines. When you delegate your hiring to them, you can feel confident you’ll get new employees who truly want to build a career at your company.
