In the service sector, compliance training is a fundamental part of your operation. With a constant stream of new and updated regulatory guidance, keeping on top of compliance training can be an ongoing challenge for many operators. And for an industry that is made up of predominantly deskless workers, facilitating compliance training can be even more of a struggle. This week, we take a look at how pub chain Young & Co.’s Brewery have managed to boost their compliance scores across their 208 sites using the CPL Learning platform.
Some of our latest course modules have been developed to help operators navigate the changing landscape of service and hospitality. Our Director of Learning and Education, Martin Hilton, shares his experiences and how we can learn to adapt.
The hospitality sector accounted for a third of the UK’s entire drop in GDP in March and April. Now as we look to the future of hospitality, the changes in consumer habits and the new standard for rigorous safety measures, we look at what role training plays in the recovery of hospitality.
One of our commitments as we all continue to manage the changing industry landscape is to provide people-driven data to drive change in our businesses.

Our latest Hospitality Professionals survey was completed by our panel of frontline hospitality workers between the 31st July and 5th September and focuses on the return to working in the sector.

With rum set to be the next big thing in the drinks market, make sure you and your team get ahead of the curve with our new online course. After the explosion in gin popularity over the last couple of years, everyone is wondering what the next big thing in drinks is set to be. Recent research from CGA report that prior to lockdown the rum market was in 3% growth, being driven predominantly by growth in the golden and spiced rum categories.
