The UK's hospitality sector faces a significant salary decline, with an average drop of 10.3% compared to last year, particularly in the hotel sector with a 17% decrease. Contract catering stands out with a 10% increase in salaries. Front-of-house positions experience the largest pay reduction, while most other roles see decreases except for directors and chefs. Interestingly, employees value a broader benefit package beyond salary, emphasizing aspects like bonuses and flexible hours to improve job satisfaction.
Employers must consider the whole package as increasingly employees are looking for more than just a salary in order to provide them with job satisfaction.
While salary ranks as the most important employee benefit, holiday entitlement, training & development sessions, flexible hours, bonus/tips and mentoring were also considered important to respondents.
