Highlights from the NEWH Leadership Conference - Nashville 2024 We recently had the privilege of attending the NEWH Leadership Conference in Nashville, an event that brought together the brightest minds in the hospitality industry. Our team from Hospitality Finishes was truly captivated by Nashville's vibrant downtown, rich history, and lively music scene, which provided the perfect backdrop for this enriching experience. The conference showcased top speakers from renowned hotel brands, offering valuable insights into the future of hospitality, upcoming renovations, and the evolving role of technology and AI in our industry. Of particular note was the discussion on the selection process for vendors in renovation projects, a topic our CEO, Dan Coroiu, addressed with a well-received question that underscored the relevance of our work at Hospitality Finishes. The emphasis on luxury hotel design and innovation left us inspired, and the opportunity to network with industry professionals has broadened our perspective, affirming that our company is moving in the right direction. Most importantly, the connections made during the conference have already begun to bear fruit, promising exciting new business ventures on the horizon. We look forward to applying these insights to our projects and continuing to contribute to the dynamic world of hospitality design. Stay tuned for updates as we take on new challenges and help shape the future of hospitality.NEWHLeadershipConference #HospitalityIndustry #Nashville2024 #HotelRenovations #TechnologyInHospitality #AIinHospitality #LuxuryHotelDesign #InnovationInHospitality #NetworkingInNashville #HospitalityFinishes #IndustryInsights #FutureOfHospitality #HospitalityDesign #BusinessVentures #NEWHConferenceHighlights

Still reflecting on last week's HHM Hotels conference at The Westin Philadelphia Grateful for the opportunity to be surrounded by our Leadership team, Regional Support Heroes, and the resilience of all our General Managers. Matt Nelson and Justin Hersker, thank you for hosting a successful event that left me with valuable insights. Here are some key takeaways from my notes: - Building around future growth - Speaking with one voice - Churn rate - Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing, and Adjourning - "Luck favors the prepared and the ready." - Asset leverage and owner's return expectations - "Brand experience: sensations, feelings, cognitions, and behavioral responses evoked by brand-related stimuli" - Guest Journey: walk the hotel, teamwork, identify, make it a standard - Hiring: Perks, Recognition, Rewards, Culture, Development - Adversity, it shapes you - Running shoes 👟[IYKYK] #HHM #OneForce #OneGoal

Getting recognized within the Team is the biggest achievement in itself. Most of the time in the hospitality industry we forget to recognize our own team members, until and unless you are mentioned in guest comments/praises. Internal recognition is very important as it helps you not only like your job more but also you know how strong is the Executive Team. #hilton #team #teambuilding #teamculture #teamdevelopment #hilton #bestplacestowork2023

If you want to run a hospitality platform by being inclusive and showcase diversity you should definitely go listen to Rachel Humphrey on Hospitality Daily Representation matter across the globe and being able to reach those who aren’t being represented is a success. This industry isn’t built on CEOs, Owners we have tons of talented individuals who are making waves in the operational side as well. There’s no hospitality without operations.

What do people truly want from each of us? Remington Hospitality President, W Chris Green, explains in our latest video highlighting our Thriving Culture what that is and how you can best show it. #remingtonhospitality #roomtothrive #corporateculture #leadershipconference #hospitalityleadership

Continuing the conversation... Last week, we had the pleasure of collaborating with Harri to host an engaging DEI Roundtable. The focus of this event was to delve into the key themes outlined in Inside Hospitality Report released four weeks ago. Our founder, Lorraine Copes, kicked off the roundtable and presented the key findings. She emphasised that the hospitality industry has much to celebrate and offers promising career prospects. Simultaneously, she acknowledged that until some of the behaviours and attitudes within the sector are stamped out, the industry will struggle to attract, recruit, and retain talent from diverse backgrounds. The two notable findings demonstrating this were: 🌟 83% of respondents hold an optimistic view regarding career prospects within the industry. 🚫 However, 1 in 3 respondents reported experiencing or witnessing discrimination, with people of colour being most likely to cite racial bias. Throughout the roundtable, attendees shared their perspectives and experiences, openly discussing various approaches employed across the industry. It was inspiring to witness the commitment of hospitality businesses present in the room, all dedicated to fostering an equitable and inclusive environment within the hospitality sector. If you're interested in joining us for future roundtables, we would love to hear from you at community@bihospitality.co.uk. #InsideHospitality #DEIRoundtable #InclusiveHospitality #HospitalityIndustryChange

All industries are being challenged to adapt to the complex structure of today's new work environments with private clubs facing some of the biggest changes. The demands of the new workforce, those looking for more work-life balance, in a predominately face-to-face industry, are forcing clubs to adopt new communication strategies and hiring practices. This will be critical for hiring and retaining top talent. Here's an interesting read from the Club Management Association of America's recent publication. #privateclubchallenges
