The Swiss gastronomy sector faces a significant challenge: retaining young talent who, after completing their studies in Food & Beverage, often transition to other industries. Swiss Hospitality Recruitment, in collaboration with Swiss educational institutions and industry businesses, works to make gastronomy more attractive and sustainable in the long term. Here are some effective strategies to ensure professionals remain in the sector.
One of the main reasons young people leave the industry is the lack of career growth opportunities. We promote mentorship programs, continuous training, and high-quality internships to help students build a solid future in the F&B sector.
Long hours and uncompetitive salaries drive many to seek alternatives. Companies must offer fair contracts, balanced shifts, and tangible benefits such as professional growth incentives and health insurance to make the sector more sustainable.
We believe in the value of a positive corporate culture. Recognising the contributions of each professional, encouraging teamwork, and providing constructive feedback improve employee satisfaction and retention.
Adopting new technologies in kitchens and dining areas not only enhances efficiency but also makes work more stimulating and less repetitive. Investing in digital training and innovation helps attract and retain young talent.
We collaborate with Swiss hospitality schools to offer concrete growth opportunities. Well-structured internships, apprenticeships, and partnerships with high-level restaurants enable students to enter the workforce with greater confidence and competence.
Being part of a professional community can increase motivation and a sense of belonging. Through events, competitions, and networking, we support young professionals in building strong and lasting relationships within the sector.
Retaining talent in the Food & Beverage sector requires a shared effort between schools, businesses, and institutions. Swiss Hospitality Recruitment is at the forefront of creating a more attractive sector by offering concrete career opportunities and support to young professionals.
