What Is Next For The Baby Boomer Generation?

By now, we have all heard of the Great Resignation. This movement has spanned all age groups from Millennials, Gen X, to Baby Boomers. During the pandemic we saw a significant surge of Baby Boomers retiring. It was a stark reality that crazy things happen and maybe it’s time to embrace retirement and live life to the fullest. However, not every Baby Boomer wants to retire. Today I want to talk about those Baby Boomers, those individuals who over the past 20-30 years, worked their way up through the corporate ladder. A baby boomer is defined as independent, self-reliant, and…

Presidents Day Reflection

On this President’s Day, we are sitting here reflecting on what a tumultuous two years our country has gone through. This pandemic has put a strain on everyone professionally, financially, and mentally. That being said, we are moving into 2022 seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Patrice & Associates went through its own challenges in 2019 and 2020 as the pandemic was rearing its ugly head. Our business certainly was effected but we adapted and overcame the challenge. When covid first emerged, we were coming off a successful implementation of Executive Search in our model. Although we…

In the spirit of love and community today is the day to talk about giving back.

She is passionate about many organizations and today we are going to highlight the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. This organization’s mission is to honor the sacrifice of…

Special Note from Patrice

Patrice

It is symbol of starting and welcome happy new year 2021.[/caption] 2020 was a year to remember, or forget. We all know hospitality was one of the hardest hit industries. The restaurants that survived had to “pivot” to stay afloat. Carry out, curbside pick up, and delivery all became the “norm”. Restaurants and Patrice & Associates pivoted together. The pandemic is almost over and restaurants are rebounding quickly. The new concern is they can’t find staff. The news reports…

The Hospitality Flood Gates are Opening!

Patrice

As the owner of Patrice & Associates Hospitality Recruitment, I use my own business as a yardstick measuring the health of the hospitality industry. In 2020, our clients were being forced to close, job seekers weren't looking for jobs as they were on unemployment - and there were no jobs to be found. As more states gave the green light for restaurants to open, they have been in a frenzy. Many only got a 24 - 48-hour notice that they could open. They didn't have the food ordered, they didn't have any prepping options and they didn't have the staff.…

The unprofessional actions of one ruin it for all

Patrice

Authored by Chuck Helden, Franchisee The other day I came upon a LinkedIn post, written by a recruiter from another firm within my own industry. This recruiter wrote that her client embarrassed her because of their unresponsiveness to the application of one of her candidates. She told the candidate of this client's unresponsiveness, and that she could not wait to find him a better opportunity with a better company. She then proceeded to “lecture” her client in the post! There are a lot of incredibly good professional recruiters and recruiting firms out there, but there are some that give the industry a…

Hire for Culture and Fit

Patrice

Author: Rick Weaver, Franchisee Hire for Culture and Fit It was a chilly morning as I raced to get to a meeting across town. Along the way I stopped for a quick breakfast. When the food came, I said, “You must enjoy getting people a delicious start to their day.” The reply shocked me. “I like it, I just wish the food was healthier”. I immediately thought, “my breakfast isn’t healthy? I thought it was. After all it's low in sodium and fat. What is wrong with it.” Was the problem the food, the wait staff, or something else. Research…

Patrice & Associates Update on COVID and the Hospitality Industry

Patrice

Patrice & Associates Update on COVID and the Hospitality Industry Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top expert on infectious diseases, told Robin Roberts of ABC News in Mid-November “the calvary is coming here. Vaccines are going to have a major positive impact.” Dr Fauci, a trusted top adviser, sees the vaccine having a significant affect on curbing the pandemic. This combined with thoughtful mask wearing means that we see an abatement of this pandemic within 4-6 months. Hopefully at that point, life will return to “normal.” There is no question the hospitality industry has been hit the hardest in the last…
