Factors negatively affecting mental health in the hospitality workplace

Welcome to another edition of Recruiting in Hospitality from Caterer.com. In each programme we invite top guests from the world of hospitality to discuss issues affecting employers. We talk recruitment, development and retention as well as matters concerning you and your teams.

In a recent survey, 84% of hospitality professionals questioned had experienced some kind of mental health issue within their career and 46% would not feel comfortable talking about their health concerns with their colleagues. There is still a stigma attached to mental health issues in our industry.

The Burnt Chef Project was launched in May 2019 with the sole intention of eradicating mental health stigma within hospitality. Join your host, Lancelot Narayan, as he is joined by Kris Hall, founder of The Burnt Chef Project. They discuss factors negatively affecting mental health in the hospitality workplace, methods of improvement in recruitment and retention for employers, services offered by The Burnt Chef project and how you can get involved.”
