Why this matters: Attracting and retaining top talent is a continued challenge. A strong brand doesn’t just draw in guests—it creates a sense of purpose and growth opportunities for employees. By investing in a clear brand identity and culture, hospitality companies can engage staff, build loyalty, and guide talent development, transforming team members into brand advocates and future leaders like Anthony.

Go deeper: Listen to Anthony and I discuss this today on the Hospitality Daily Podcast (Apple Podcasts, Spotify), where we cover:
