Why is it challenging for resorts to maintain high-quality staff?

Maintaining high-quality staff in resorts is particularly challenging due to the nature of seasonal operations. Many resorts experience fluctuations in guest volume based on the time of year, leading to a variable demand for staff. This seasonal aspect means that during peak seasons, resorts may need to hire additional employees to meet customer demands, while during off-peak months, they may not require as many staff members. This inconsistency can make it difficult to maintain a stable and high-quality workforce, as seasonal workers may not feel committed to returning each year or may seek more reliable, year-round employment elsewhere.

In contrast, while competitive salaries and comprehensive training are important, they alone do not address the fundamental issue of staffing consistency created by seasonal operations. High employee turnover rates can be a byproduct of these challenges, as frequent hiring and training of new staff can lead to a less experienced workforce, further complicating efforts to maintain quality.
