These professionals ensure that operations run smoothly in the hotel industry. The issues of high employee turnover, retention difficulties, and a shortage of skilled people due to better job prospects were widespread globally. It also gives rise to various pressing realities, especially in manpower planning, recruitment and selection, training programs and orientation, and wages and salary administration. The study explored the experiences of human resource [HR] managers or directors in selected 3 and 4-star hotels in Cebu City. The study utilized an exploratory research design to understand better the informants' individual experiences and a methodological approach to qualitative data.
