Abstract
This study draws upon qualitative research carried out in the latter half of 1999 as part of a major project to provide evidence on skill deficiencies for the National Skills Task Force. Case studies involved in-depth semi-structured interviews with owners, managers and staff in 21 establishments across five sectors of the hospitality industry. The article sets out to shed light upon the causes and consequences of labour churn in the industry, and the coping strategies and counter-measures of employers. It demonstrates that labour turnover is substantially within the control of management, and it has useful implications for practitioners.
