12、 Lucas, 1995; Baum, 1995). Research on recruitment and training in small firms in general (Jameson, 1998) has also indicated that an informal approach towards the management of human resources is the norm in these firms.

24、influence the skill of a locality, then it is interesting to see how seriously small tourism and hospitality firms take training.</p><p>　　According to Curran et al. (1996) small businesses experience proble

25、ms in providing training for both owner-managers and workers. It has also been discovered that the hospitality industry displays one of the lowest levels of training activity in the UK economy (HCTC, 1995). These points

26、should be borne in mind when the results of this survey are interpreted.</p><p>　　Two of the indicators of a systematic approach to training are the existence of a training plan/policy and a specific budget

27、for training.</p><p>　　According to the Hospitality Training Foundation (HtF, 1996) 63 per cent of employers in all industries had a training plan. In catering and hospitality 64 per cent had a training plan

28、. The most recent research on training and small firms found that only 28 per cent of such firms had a training plan.</p><p>　　It is appropriate to discuss training budgets alongside training plans. It is al

29、so useful to compare the survey findings with all industries and with the hospitality industry (no figures are available for tourism). In all industries 55 per cent of employers had training budgets; in hospitality this

30、figure was 43 per cent according to IFF research (HtF, 1996). However, research carried out by the HtF found that only 19 per cent of hospitality firms had a training budget.</p><p>　　In the UK, the provisio

41、to recruit staff, word of mouth was the most commonly used recruitment method, followed by local press and job centres.</p><p>　　These findings support the advice in the recruitment literature which normally

42、 suggests that small firms should recruit from the local labour market and should keep their recruitment spending within a very tight budget.</p><p>　　In addition to questions on recruitment, respondents wer

43、e asked a series of questions on training practices. When they were asked if they had a training plan for their business, the results were as indicated in Table II. Although only 11 per cent of small tourism and hospital

55、are only as likely as large firms to engage in Investors in People activit</p><p>　　Another finding which contradicts the HtF’s view is that NVQ/SVQs have not been implemented in smaller hospitality establis

61、 seriously but, of course, this intention needs to be reviewed in a year’s time. It is also necessary to evaluate the level, type, and quality of training being pro</p><p>　　Conclusion</p><p>　　

62、In conclusion, this research has been undertaken as a result of the gap in knowledge on training in small firms, and more specifically on training in small tourism and hospitality firms. It suggests that this gap should

63、not be allowed to continue, due to the growth and increasing importance of the tourism and hospitality industries and the nature of human resources within them. The research operates from the premiss that small firms are

64、 not microcosms of large firms, and as such require separate</p><p>　　This research has attempted partially to fill the gap in knowledge about the extent and nature of training in small tourism and hospitali

66、tent with research conducted in various industry sectors. Implications of informality, however, may include being in breach of current employment law and may also result in recruiting people who are inappropriate in the

67、long run. Informal recruitment practices and inappropriate selection can lead to high labour</p><p>　　Compared with other industries, hospitality and tourism have higher than average skills shortages, labour

68、 turnover and hard to fill vacancies at every level (HEFCE, 1998). The scenario is one in which firms rely heavily on the secondary labour market and exhibit high levels of recruitment. It is argued that high levels of r

69、ecruitment can affect the level of training in a firm. In fact, Hendry et al. (1991) found that in some cases, managers may prefer to recruit rather than train. Wynarczyck et </p><p>　　Although as mentioned

70、above, small businesses experience problems in providing training and the hospitality industry has one of the lowest training levels in the UK, small firms in this sector actually had higher incidences of training plans

71、than small firms in other sectors.</p><p>　　Informality is again present in relation to the types of training offered in the firms. As expected, on-job training predominates. Although it is essential to trai

72、n people to do the job for which they have been appointed, this reliance on informal training can result in the exclusion of staff development in a more general sense and can reduce the likelihood of developing an intern
