Struggling to serve human resources (HR) in the hospitality sector?
As part of your HR management, you may have to manage many employees in different roles, such as chefs and waiters. This is especially the case for theme parks, hotels, and tourism hotspots, where people work in a range of positions.
Whether you're managing shifts, or ensuring staff are balancing their personal and working life - there's a lot you need to oversee. It may not feel like your main priority, but failure to comply with employment law could adversely affect your business. For example, you could face financial, legal, and reputational damage.

Essential HR documentation, like staff contracts and policies.
Award-winning wellbeing support for staff.
Unlimited support to deal with any HR issue.
When you work with us, our team of experts oversee your HR management. So instead of worrying about your legal responsibilities, you can focus on what you do best - providing the best service to your customers.
HR Services
Peninsula’s documentation service is a recipe for success
Successful HR management encompasses several factors; from managing pay and benefits to ensuring a lawful dismissal process. To ensure your compliance, there are many regulations you must follow.
These are outlined in the:
Employment Rights Act (1996).
Equality Act (2010).
National Minimum Wage Act (1998).
As part of your legal obligations, you must create and present certain policies and documentation. For example, you must provide a statement of main terms when a new employee starts. However, if you haven't done this before you may not know where to start.
That's where Peninsula can help. With unlimited documentation support, you’ll receive expert-made:
Employee handbooks.
Grievance and disciplinary procedures.
So whilst you continue to grow your hospitality business, we'll support you with your HR documentation. And whenever the legislation changes, you can feel confident your documentation consultants will update your paperwork to keep you safe.
We truly understand how important employee wellbeing is...
It's no secret how fast-paced and stressful working in the catering and hospitality industry can be. As a result, hospitality staff have a wide range of issues to deal with.
Working long hours, dealing with the demands of difficult customers, and being on their feet from start to finish can hurt their mental health. And, as an employer, it’s your responsibility to protect their wellbeing whilst at work.
When you outsource your HR to Peninsula, all your staff members can access our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
So any problems they face in their personal life, as well as in their working life - we're on hand to help. Our EAP service includes:
24/7 counselling.
In-person therapy.
Access to a suite of online tools.
It's how thousands of Irish employers boost wellbeing, productivity, and attendance rates.
