Episode 23 of our monthly ‘I’m In’ podcast, hosted by Phil Street FIH, is available to members today and discusses the topic of “The Changing Face of Talent Attraction“.

“Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. It is not to bring men and women over to our side, but to offer freedom not disturbed by dividing lines.” – Henri J.M. Nouwen
We love this summarising of what hospitality is and I think we can all agree, it fits well in the way that we should approach our teams experience too.
This was the focal point of an incredibly lively chat around the changing face of talent attraction a subject that Phil could have ranted about for 45 minutes all on his own!
This chat is all action from the off and our guests cover off: –
- Some statistics around what has changed
- The basics to get right

As always, our guests gave us their compelling reasons as to why they said #imin to the IoH including: –
- Working with likeminded people with passion for hospitality
- Sharing knowledge
