“In the current business environment, characterized by a fierce battle for market share, flawless execution by frontline employees is critical for the success of any organization competing in the restaurant and hospitality industries. The only way to get to the required level of execution is through effective training.” Says Victor Fernandez, Executive Director of Insights and Knowledge at TDn2K “For this reason we believe the insights into training and employee development to be delivered by this study are more important than ever.”

“It is our goal to not only track trends in hospitality training, but to give trainers actionable insights they can use to gain additional support to develop people and improve performance in their organizations.” said Calvin Banks, CHART president and Director of Training for The Broadmoor Hotel.

Findings from this survey will allow business leaders in the hospitality and restaurant industries to benchmark training and development practices against an unparalleled data set in the areas of learning investments, learning hours per employee type, delivery methods, instructional design, content areas, e-learning practices and internal versus external resources.

The survey is to be completed by restaurant and hospitality training, development and human resources professionals. It is not exclusive to CHART and TDn2K members. Participation in the survey grants first rights to its results and insights.
