ReTRiM Recruitment & Talent Retention Management At 45.9% of all operating expenses, labor and related costs continue to represent the largest expense item for hotels. Over the long term, labor costs have consistently run very close to 34% of total revenue. In 2004, labor costs were 34.4% of total revenue. If this trend persists hoteliers will find increasing pressure on their profit margins. (PKF Hospitality Research, May 9 th 2005) ReTRiM contributes to a reduction in labor-related costs, including recruitment and training, by enabling hotels to efficiently recruit from their existing internal talent pool. Wherever this is not possible, ReTRiM also powers the corporate career web site, screening all external applicants before reaching the HR office.

ReTRiM Recruitment & Talent Retention Management According to the United States Department of Labor, by the year 2010, the [US] hospitality industry will need 1.6 million new workers. During that same period, the available labor force growth is expected to dwindle to near zero. In simple terms this means that our industry will have significantly more job openings than it does job seekers (Robert Habeeb, Hotel Interactive, June 24th 2005) Retention of current talent must be among the most important answers to this challenge. Under these circumstances, the industry cannot afford to allow existing talent to evaporate, and therefore ReTRiM is the answer. Offer your existing workforce the opportunities to advance their careers according to their skills, experience and preferences.
