Two practices. One operator.

01

Talent Acquisition & Employer Brand

The front door. Every hotel in Greece is fighting the same talent war, and the Workathlon DNA travels well.

• Recruitment audit and process redesign — time-to-hire, drop-off, cost-per-hire
• Employer value proposition (EVP) workshops and rollout
• Career-site, social-content, and recruitment-marketing playbooks
• Seasonal hiring campaigns for island properties
• International sourcing pipelines — Balkans, Ukraine, Asia, EU mobility
• Recruiter training and hiring-manager interview frameworks
• Executive search for senior hotel roles — GM, F&B Director, Director of People

02

Workforce Planning & Labour Productivity

Quantitative, executive-sponsored, and rarely done well. The most defensible work in the practice.

• Labour-cost diagnostic by department, with peer benchmarking
• Staffing models for new openings and seasonal ramp
• Productivity benchmarking against comparable properties
• Outsourcing-vs-in-house analysis — housekeeping, security, F&B
• Scheduling system selection and rollout
• Staff housing strategy for island properties

03

Fractional CHRO / HR-as-a-Service

For groups of three to ten properties without a real Head of People — a common gap across Greece, Cyprus, Croatia, and the Balkans.

• Fractional CHRO retainer — on-call for hiring, comp, and escalations
• HR policy and handbook build, specific to Greek labour law
• Payroll and HRIS selection
• Compensation banding and pay structures
• Onboarding programmes

04

Culture, Retention & Engagement

The work that pulls everything else through — and builds the case studies.

• Engagement surveys with action plans
• Exit-interview programmes and turnover diagnostics
• Internal mobility frameworks
• Training programmes for F&B, housekeeping, and front office
• Manager-effectiveness programmes

05

Leadership Development & Succession

For the people who actually run the property — and the families who own it.

• GM and Head-of-Department leadership programmes
• Performance management system design
• Career frameworks and competency models
• 1:1 executive coaching for owners and GMs
• Succession planning for family-owned groups

06

M&A, Openings & Reorganisations

The highest-stakes project work, where owners pay for certainty.

• People-side due diligence on hotel acquisitions
• Pre-opening HR plan and recruitment for new properties
• Post-acquisition integration playbooks
• Reorganisation and cost-restructuring support

07

ESG, DEI & Sustainable Hospitality

Increasingly required for branded hotels and EU funding — and a natural fit alongside Wise Greece and TUI Care Foundation work.

• ESG reporting on people metrics
• DEI strategy and reporting
• Women-in-leadership programmes
• Refugee and inclusive hiring pipelines

08

Speaking, Workshops & Industry Programmes

Keynotes, panels, and branded content partnerships — already part of the firm's public profile.

• Keynotes, panels, and executive workshops
• Branded 'Days of Tourism'–style content partnerships
• White-labelled HR training for hotel schools and industry associations

A

Tech Strategy for Hotels & Groups

Hotels are drowning in vendors and have no one trustworthy translating between IT and operations. That's the role.

• PMS / CRS selection — Mews, Cloudbeds, Opera, Protel, Stayntouch
• Tech-stack audit and consolidation roadmap
• Channel manager and revenue management system selection
• Guest experience tech — in-room, mobile check-in, messaging, upsell
• Back-of-house operations tech — housekeeping, F&B POS, maintenance, procurement
• Data infrastructure — warehouse, BI, and dashboards
• AI-readiness assessment and pilot roadmap
• Digital transformation programmes for multi-property groups

B

Go-to-Market Advisory for Hospitality-Tech Startups

We are the customer those founders are trying to reach. That makes the advisory unusually valuable.

• Product-market fit refinement against real hotel buyers
• ICP and segmentation work
• Sales playbooks and demo design for hotel sales cycles
• Pricing model design
• Partnership strategy with PMS, channel managers, and global hotel groups
• Reference-customer and case-study programmes
• Series A / B fundraise preparation

C

Venture & Investor Advisory

Quietly the highest-leverage work in the firm.

• Due diligence for VCs and PE funds evaluating hospitality-tech bets
• Portfolio support across a fund's existing investments
• Scouting and deal flow into Greek and Med-region investors
• Board advisory and operating-partner roles in hospitality-tech companies

D

Build & Integration

Productised builds on a modern stack — Supabase, Stripe, Lovable. Not an agency.

• Bespoke internal dashboards and integrations for groups whose stack doesn't fit any vendor
• Data unification across PMS, POS, payroll, and guest-review systems
• Small custom apps for operations problems no SaaS solves

E

M&A & Strategy for Hospitality-Tech

The founder's chair, through a Series A and an acquisition. Now the other side of the table too.

• Sell-side advisory for hospitality-tech founders considering an exit
• Buy-side advisory for hotel groups acquiring tech
• Strategic options reviews and exit-readiness diagnostics
