Abstract:The UK hospitality industry, despite its critical role in the national economy and job creation, has long grappled with significant challenges regarding employee working conditions. Issues such as low wages, precarious contracts, and high turnover rates create an environment that can exploit rather than empower the workforce. Recent studies emphasise that enhancing working conditions is vital for both the well-being of hospitality employees and the industry’s long-term sustainability. This article explores these challenges and the proposed Fair and Decent Work Agenda (FDWA), a strategic approach to creating a fairer, more humane hospitality industry in the UK.
