1.14 Are you not Edutained? - Education as a tool to recruit/retain/entertain! With Elly Johnson and Charlie McCarthy

In this episode you'll learn how the right approach to  education and training can help recruit the right staff, retain them for longer and improve your own career prospects. You might even be "Edutained"!We speak to Elly Johnson of Flow Hospitality (MAPAL), a global leader in digital hospitality training, and Charlie McCarthy of the Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET), the leading body for alcohol education. Charlie and Elly help us approach the issue of how best to inform, educate and even entertain staff as they perform their roles in the brewery or behind the bar. With decades of experience in both formal and informal learning we delve right into the nitty gritty of getting learning right for yourself and your team. Plus we discuss how this can be a powerful tool for recruiting the right staff and retaining them into the future.We also welcome another guest to our "Desert Island" where they can choose to bring only one drink with them. This time we hear from M. Kevin Demers, of The Cold Room and El Pequeño and Parlement bars in Montreal. Kevin Picks a classic cocktail, perfect for the island but which one? Not only that, Foxy and Will talk about learning styles, "Beer Grinds" and Watford FC's first ever Premier League goal scorer!We would truly appreciate it if you could take the time to give us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or some feedback directly.
