US hospitality staff turnover has ranged between roughly 65% and 85% a year since 2021 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2026), and the pressure shows up in daily communication as well as staffing charts. That's the operating reality for hospitality leaders today.

57%

of hospitality frontline workers feel increased pressure during busy or critical moments — the highest of any sector surveyed, where even small communication failures escalate quickly.

35%

of hospitality frontline workers say communication issues create safety risks for guests or staff, turning routine breakdowns into moments that matter.

60%

of hospitality workers rely on public, free AI tools instead of approved ones — the second-highest reliance of any sector surveyed.

How we help

Communication that works everywhere your property does.

Mitel solutions are built around the outcomes that matter most to hospitality leaders: staff freed from chasing information across disconnected systems, requests that get answered the first time, and a property that stays protected and connected around the clock.

What guests experience becomes what your business earns

Every guest request answered well becomes loyalty, a stronger review, or a returning booking. Mitel connects every guest to the right person or the right answer, any time and on any channel.

  • AI-powered guest requests, routed instantlyFrom towels to late check-out, guest requests are created and routed automatically, any hour of the day.
  • Multilingual by designGuests are served in the language that works for them, at any of your properties, without depending on which staff member happens to be on shift.
  • Preferences that travel with the guestGuest details and requests stay connected across departments — so a good stay becomes a returning one.
Why this matters

Guest service and check-in are the two hospitality functions most affected by communication breakdowns — 74% and 73% of properties report inefficiencies here, more than any other function surveyed.

Why this matters

Staff churn in hospitality runs between 70% and 80% annually. When a routine request takes a voice command instead of a trip to a terminal, staff spend more time with guests and less time hunting for information.
