Children as a 'left behind' group by outdoor hospitality businesses (campsites) : a human resources perspective

Abstract

Through better recruitment of Children’s representatives working in mini-clubs, outdoor hospitality businesses have a further opportunity to both enhance the well-being of children while also addressing a major societal issue such as sustainability. The findings of the research suggest that the content of job advert for children’s representatives should be recalibrating with a focus on philosophy of the organisation (responsible management education), which will then inform the type of knowledge wished to be conveyed (sustainability), how (case method), and the profile (qualifications, experience, personality, etc) of the staff needed. The findings of the research also highlight the fact that job crafting, which used to be solely a coping strategy used by staff, is also a coping strategy used by managers in their recruitment strategy. There is an urge for the development of qualifications/courses in Youth, Society and Sustainable Futures to prevent staff and managers developing their own coping strategies, which might negatively impact the performance of the organization.
