Skyware’s Chief Technology Officer, Mario Gordon, said, “I don’t know of many other professionals in our industry that has the knowledge ware and multi facet experience Bob Coyne brings to Skyware and our clients. His perception and consultative background with hospitality operations and the role that technology should play in driving revenue and increasing staff productivity will benefit both our current clients and new properties evaluating Skyware.” Mr. Coyne previously held top executive positions with leading PMS suppliers as well as a ten year sterling career with Chervenak, Keane and Co., a hospitality consulting firm.

Hotel Human Resources: The Biggest Challenges
The economic challenges of the past four years have led many hotel companies to re-examine the ways in which they do business and how they deploy talent. In many cases, the work did not go away and fewer people were left to carry on the tasks that had previously been shared among many. As we work our way out of the recession and look forward to a healthier economic environment, there is an understanding that despite recovering business levels, we may never see the return of former staffing levels. This "new norm" of operating with leaner teams has led Human Resources professionals and people managers to look at career development and growth opportunities in a new light. The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
