People analytics for hotel chains and hospitality groups
Beetrics is a people analytics platform that helps HR and Operations leaders at hotel chains cut seasonal turnover, anticipate the exit of key figures like head housekeepers and head chefs, and compare the real climate across all their hotels. Starting from a short per-employee survey, we deliver a network map and an individualized retention plan within 30 days, scalable to 5, 30 or 50 properties.
2025 was a record year for Spanish tourism — average RevPAR of 129.9€, growth of 6.3% according to Exceltur — but the people picture is the opposite. Up to 75% of hospitality workers have actively looked to change jobs in recent months (Preferente). In some segments annual turnover runs 70-80%. And hotel margins, even as they grow, do not allow across-the-board pay raises. Retention has to be won on a different plane.
The five recurring pain points we see in hotel chains
1. Seasonal turnover out of control
Every start of season is a nightmare of replacements. The cost of onboarding in a hotel is high: housekeeping, F&B and front-desk teams need weeks to hit their stride. Without data on which specific people are at risk and why, the measures are generic and expensive.
2. Dependence on irreplaceable key figures
The head housekeeper with 15 years in the house, the head chef who holds the brigade together, the F&B manager who knows every supplier. Their departure sets off cascade effects. The org chart does not flag them as critical — but the organization's network does.
3. Multi-site climate invisible from headquarters
How do you measure climate across 20 hotels with distinct local cultures? A single annual survey homogenizes but does not let you intervene where it hurts. Beetrics distinguishes each hotel and compares them against one another with a consistent benchmark.
4. Multicultural, multilingual staff
A housekeeping team can span 8 nationalities. Traditional engagement tools assume a common language and a homogeneous cultural context. The Beetrics survey is distributed in the real languages spoken in each hotel.
5. Undocumented critical knowledge
Who manages the relationship with the strategic tour operator, who knows the laundry tricks in peak season, who trains the new kitchen hires. Beetrics identifies these knowledge keepers before their exit becomes inevitable and lets you design transfer plans.
What Beetrics does, specifically, for a hotel chain
From the survey, we deliver five outputs built for hospitality:
- Side-by-side climate view across hotels. Same questionnaire, single dashboard that lets you see which hotels stand out, which are at risk and where the best practices to replicate live.
- Identification of informal leaders and key figures per hotel. Who holds together the kitchen, housekeeping, front-desk and maintenance teams.
- Impact simulation of critical exits. What happens if the head housekeeper leaves before the season, expressed in estimated operational hours lost.
- eNPS with sector benchmark. We compare your numbers against benchmarks of hotel chains similar in size and region.
- Individual retention plan for key profiles, based on the real motivators of each person in their local context.
How it is decided and how it is rolled out
The typical decision in mid-sized chains takes 2-6 months with COO and ownership sign-off. We support you on the following:
- Multi-site scalability: licensing and configuration designed for 5-50 hotels. Phased roll-out if you prefer.
- Comparability across properties: consistent criteria that enable internal benchmarking between hotels in the same group.
- Data defensible to ownership and franchisees: aggregated analysis, employee consent, alignment with the Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD).
Seasonal turnover is not the sector's destiny. It is what happens when leadership does not see the real network that holds each hotel together.

Frequently asked questions
How does Beetrics help a chain run 10 or 30 hotels at once?
Beetrics measures each hotel separately and returns the information side by side in a single dashboard: climate, eNPS, turnover and a map of key figures per property. It lets you see which hotel is at risk before the season starts and where to replicate the practices that are working.
How do you measure the risk of losing a head housekeeper or a head chef?
We map the real dependencies of every key figure inside the hotel — who they train, who they solve incidents with and which processes are left uncovered if they leave. Losing a veteran head housekeeper costs weeks of express onboarding in peak season, and we surface that impact before it happens.
Does it work with multilingual staff and permanent-seasonal contracts?
Yes. The survey is available in several languages and works with seasonal teams and permanent-seasonal (fijos discontinuos) workers. The analysis distinguishes between the stable low-season network and the expanded high-season network.
Is it compatible with certifications like Great Place to Work?
Beetrics does not replace GPTW or Top Employers — it gives you different information. While certifications measure perception and processes, Beetrics maps the real relationships and detects individual risks. Many chains use both for complementary purposes.
How long does it take from kickoff to the first insights?
A short survey (5 minutes per employee), 1-2 weeks of collection and delivery of the network map plus an individualized action plan in roughly 30 days. Enough to prepare the next season with retention decisions already made.
How do you handle an ownership group or chain that has franchisees?
Beetrics is contracted from headquarters and applied hotel by hotel. Each franchisee keeps visibility of its own property; headquarters receives the aggregated, compared view. The permissions setup adapts to your structure.
