Tasmanian Hospitality Review - Feb/March 2026

Hospo Health

the key is making wellbeing visible and valued.

“Our industry relies on people who give so much of themselves every day. Looking after the health and wellbeing of our workforce is not just the right thing to do, it’s critical for delivering great guest experiences and building strong, sustainable businesses. When we look after our people, they’re better able to look after our guests.” The benefits extend well beyond individuals. Evidence shows that when people feel supported, engaged and healthy at work, businesses experience improved retention, reduced absenteeism, stronger team culture and better customer outcomes. Simply put, when people thrive, businesses thrive too. We encourage hospitality business owners, managers and leaders to share this program with their teams and actively support participation. Wellbeing is not an ‘extra’ - it’s a foundation for a resilient workforce and a strong industry. The Wellbeing for Hospitality Workers Program is now live, alongside a range of other free resources for the hospitality sector, at www.hospohealth.com. au

The program works best when businesses actively champion its use, not as a tick-box exercise, but as part of creating a workplace where people feel genuinely supported. This means making time for teams to engage with the content, checking in on how people are tracking, and using the modules as conversation starters about what wellbeing looks like in your venue.

Hospitality Tasmania CEO Steve Old says prioritising wellbeing is essential for the future of the industry.
