For further insight into talent profiles in the meetings industry, we asked venue operators what percentage of their staff were part-time or temporary prior to the pandemic compared to this year, and their forecast for the future. Overall, respondents forecast that their level of part-time staff would return to pre-pandemic norms by next year. However, this changes significantly when comparing across the different regions. Respondents from the Americas said they have, on average, seen a fall in their levels of part-time staff, which they forecast will remain so in 2023. In contrast, European respondents reported a small rise in their share of part-time staff, predicting it will increase further in 2023.
Respondents anticipate that their percentage of temporary staff will broadly remain the same as pre-pandemic.
