Problem 2: High staff turnover with 80% of the staff leaving within the year
Staff turnover is generally high in hotel sector because of temporary nature of employment. For instance: students, colleagues and foreign nationals from the European Union wanting to work for short periods in London; and generally low pay (on average just at the living wage rate). The staff turnover is high in the imperial hotel for front line staff.

The working culture in hotel under the previous management staff was quite toxic. They were busy constantly for 24 hours and 365 days in operation of a business. The hotel policies and strategies are enough to encourage the employees at workplace and reduction in their employment turnover. In recent years, the style of management could be described as authoritarian and dictatorial with very little consultation with low level of staff members.
