Employee savings

Access to health

The challenge

Competing for staff in one of the UK's toughest hiring markets

MAKING SURE EVERY SHIFT IS COVERED: In hospitality, staff shortages often mean stressed out teams, expensive agency fees and unhappy customers. People and Culture Manager, Kelly Johnson was looking for a solution to help reduce last minute absences.

BRINGING IN NEW TALENT: Crowne Plaza needed a way to make their job offers stand out from other hotels in the area, while retaining more of their existing staff.

ENGAGING AND CARING FOR EMPLOYEES: Kelly could see her staff were struggling. She wanted to help her people with the cost of living, while also looking after their overall wellbeing. All without breaking the budget.

The result

An employer of choice and a hotel staff who want to stay

Crowne Plaza is using Mintago to make their job ads stand out from the crowd and retain and engage the best talent in the area. 

One of the biggest successes has been access to independent financial advice. The Mintago team has even helped organise special events – like a financial coaching session for Blue Monday on financial resilience. "Teams were really engaged and we had great attendance."

That’s powerful support – helping Crowne Plaza take care of its most important resource.
