Next Week at The Communal Table Talks
Becoming a better employer to attract better employees is our subject when Culinary Agents founder Alice Cheng joins us on Tuesday, May 25
Happy Friday! Hope you have had a wonderful and productive week. The fifth edition of The Communal Table Talks is fast upon us. This coming Tuesday, May 25 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time (11 a.m. PT, noon MT; 1 p.m. CT), Alice Cheng, founder of Culinary Agents, will be our special guest for The Communal Table Talks No. 5 - Agents of Change: Growing Labor into Talent.
Please reserve your spot and mark your calendar now — you won’t want to miss this important conversation, in which we’ll tackle the topic that’s top-of-mind for for just about everyone in the restaurant industry: the monumentally challenging labor market.
Do you think our hiring difficulties are caused by people want to stay on unemployment? We think not — we believe we need to look within and create a better working environment.
Alice, whose Culinary Agents is an innovative online resource for cultivating and celebrating talent, will talk with us in this special 45-minute edition about how becoming a better employer will help attract the best employees.
We’ll focus on actionable ideas for how to create a more sustainable, supportive and resilient environment that employees won’t want to leave.
Of course you’ll have your own questions for Alice — and perhaps for us hosts. We are (in case you’re new to The Communal Table Talks) CarloMaria Ciampoli, Bradford Thompson and Leslie Brenner.
