last but not

The calibre of CPE's recreational services depends to a large
extent on the calibre of its staff. They play a crucial role in the
following spheres: improving the company's competitive posi-
tion, innovation and growth, management of costs and quality,
increasingly high expectations on the part of guests and staff,
increasing emphasis on safety, working conditions and the
environment, and,
the dynamic labour
market. This calls for additional efforts to develop and invest in
staff, the goal being competent, efficient and highly motivated
staff who see the recreational sector as offering good prospects
and come to view CPE as an employer which is prepared to
invest in the future of its staff (preventing a high turnover by
fostering staff loyalty). A high proportion of staff have low
educational
levels. New types of vocational training such as
Levels 1 and 2 in Housekeeping, which can be taken on block
or day release, will enable them to gain nationally accredited
vocational qualifications. Other vocational qualifications and
short courses train people for jobs in areas including catering,
sales, call centres, and swimming pools, as well as for supervi-
sory posts. Training is to be provided for about 1 200 staff
members
