Pinellas and Hillsborough- Special Workforce Culture Event with Andy Masters

Re-Imagining Your Positive Workforce Culture to Improve Retention, Engagement, and Service Levels Immediately

Join FRLA’s Hillsborough and Pinellas Chapters and international Author/Speaker Andy Masters in this timely and entertaining program which illustrates inexpensive ways to create a positive working environment, while sharing success stories of how other organizations have RE-ENERGIZED their culture in our new “post-pandemic” work environment.

Organizations must now face many great challenges, having to overcome staffing shortages, high turnover, “quiet quitting,” and low morale–while still in the midst of a succession-planning crisis. Never before have managers and employees been asked to wear so many hats and do more with less. Therefore, the time to create a positive work environment and make the workplace FUN again has never been more important. Employees also want to work within a positive workplace culture, which includes everything from being APPRECIATED, to creative perks & benefits, to family-friendly flex time, and even developing their skills for the future.

SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

I am pleased to share 2023 sponsorship opportunities for the Broward Chapter of Florida Restaurant & Lodging Association. Each year we celebrate Education in Hospitality with scholarship awards and honor community and industry leaders for their continuous commitment and leadership.

For over a decade, our annual fundraisers have been instrumental towards education funds providing scholarships, curriculum, textbooks, supplies in support of Broward students in ProStart Culinary and the Hospitality & Tourism Management Programs. A portion of all proceeds directly benefit nearly 7,000 students annually pursuing a hospitality career in Broward public high schools!

This year we are thrilled to expand our scholarship dollars by opening applications to college and university levels of culinary and hospitality students. We believe this will accelerate inspiring graduates to step into the industry position in Broward County.
