Hospitality is powered by strong women.

From venue managers and chefs to business owners, supervisors and team leaders, women play a vital role in shaping the culture, energy and success of our industry.

At HOSPO Health, we see every day how much responsibility many women carry — leading teams, supporting colleagues, managing families and keeping businesses moving.

International Women’s Day is a chance to recognise that contribution and to remind ourselves of something equally important:

Leadership wellbeing matters.

When leaders are supported, respected and able to look after their own health and wellbeing, the entire workplace benefits.

Today we celebrate the women helping to build stronger, healthier hospitality workplaces across Tasmania.

Because when leaders thrive, teams thrive.

What an incredible way to start a new week!

Hospitality Tasmania's Chief Happiness Officer Sherri Ring had a great Monday afternoon at The Sebel Launceston, bringing the Wellbeing Framework to life with the properties leadership team.

It was a session full of honest conversations, real-life scenarios and practical ideas the team can take straight back into their workplace. There was plenty of collaboration, shared experiences and those lightbulb moments that happen when people feel safe to talk things through.

We also made time for something that often gets pushed aside: reflection on our own personal wellbeing. Each leader identified a few areas they’d like to focus on, because looking after others starts with looking after yourself.

We love working with properties that genuinely prioritise the health and wellbeing of their people. Well done to The Sebel Launceston team — and thank you for such an engaging and energising afternoon.

Just kicked off the day at Grand Chancellor Launceston running our HOSPO Health Wellbeing Framework session.

There’s something powerful about getting leaders around a table and having real conversations about what wellbeing actually looks like in their workplace.

Not fluffy.
Not surface-level.
Practical. Honest. Action-focused.

Today we’re working through the five pillars of the framework – Physical, Mental, Social, Financial and Occupational wellbeing – and exploring how leadership decisions shape culture every single day.

The best part?
Watching the discussions unfold.
Seeing leaders lean in.
Hearing the shift from “this sounds nice” to “we need to implement this.”

Wellbeing isn’t a side project.
It’s a leadership strategy.

Big day ahead – and this is exactly the work that moves the dial.

What a great session today at Wrest Point Hobart 💛

Our Chief Happiness Officer Sherri Ring delivered the Emotional Culture Deck with the leadership team as part of our HOSPO Health Leaders Program.

The conversations were honest, thoughtful and full of care for their teams. You could genuinely feel how much this group wants to create a workplace where people feel supported, valued and connected.

This is how strong culture is built, leaders taking the time to reflect, listen and grow together.

So proud to work with teams like this.

It's a bumper week for !

We're excited to kick off our 2026 workshops in the HOSPO Health Leaders Program, and we've had some amazing sessions, great conversations and inspiring ideas.

Dr Larissa Bartlett has been out and about delivering Mindfulness for Leaders workshops, and sharing knowledge, tools and practices to bring mindfulness into the workplace in a way that can lift individuals wellbeing as well as business outputs.

Another highlight was our Wednesday Wellbeing Framework and Culture sessions with Chief Happiness Officer Sherri Ring and Kalis Hospitality’s senior leadership team. Seeing the group come together from across the state and genuinely connect was inspiring, you could really feel the commitment they have to one another and to their teams!

One leader shared:

“I was a bit sceptical that this program was going to be all kumbaya, but I was pleasantly surprised. I got a lot out of it and can really see the value now.”

You can’t pour from an empty cup - but in hospo, we’ve been trying to for too long!

Every January, we talk about staff wellbeing, culture, retention. But we skip the critical first step: leadership wellbeing.

Here’s what I’m seeing in Tasmanian hospitality right now:
∙Leaders working 60-80 hour weeks as standard
∙Decision-making while exhausted (which costs money & people)
∙Zero buffer when the inevitable crisis hits
∙“I’ll rest when it’s quieter” (spoiler: it never is)

The data is clear: burnt-out leaders create burnt-out teams. You can’t manage psychosocial risks for your staff when you’re drowning yourself.

This year, we’re doing something different. Not wellness programs. Not generic self-care advice.
We’re building pressure-proof leadership - practical systems that help hospo leaders manage their own wellbeing in the chaos, not after it.

Because sustainable hospitality starts with sustainable leadership.

What’s one thing you’re doing differently this year to protect your own capacity?

Happy New Year from the HOSPO Health crew! ✨

New Year’s Day looks a little different when you work in hospitality. After a big festive season filled with long shifts, late nights and plenty of memorable moments, many of you are back on deck today - helping others eat, drink, stay, celebrate and enjoy Tassie at its best.

So this is a huge shout-out to everyone across hospitality and tourism: front of house, back of house, accommodation, events and all the behind-the-scenes legends. What you do matters. You help make Tasmania welcoming, memorable and incredibly special for locals and visitors alike.

Here's a quick reminder from us: look after you, too. You can’t pour from an empty cup (or bottle… or jug 😉). Check in on your teammates, grab a breather when you can, and soak up some downtime with family or friends when it comes.

Here’s to the people who make hospitality such a great industry to be part of - let’s raise a glass to you. Happy 2026, let’s make it a good one together 🌟

Busy season check-in ❤️

As Christmas and New Year roll around, venues get busier and the pace ramps right up. While you’re looking after patrons, guests and your team, it’s easy to forget about yourself. Here are a few gentle reminders for the weeks ahead:

• Rest when you can, even a little helps
• Eat and hydrate regularly
• Move gently, a stretch or a few deep breaths count
• Check in with someone you trust
• Be kind to yourself, perfection isn’t the goal

If things feel heavy, support is always available through your workplace or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Thanks for everything you do to make our Tasmanian hospitality industry so incredible! And remember, caring for others starts with caring for yourself.

What a cracking way to spend a Tuesday morning!

We caught up with the leadership team from Hadley's Orient Hotel and The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel, working through the HOSPO Health Wellbeing Framework together. There were some honest (and powerful) conversations as we explored the five pillars of wellbeing, took a moment to reflect, and then rolled up our sleeves with the new Card Deck which gave us the opportunity turn ideas and scenarios into practical actions that can actually make a difference at work.

Thanks for the energy, openness and great chats, team. We can’t wait to catch up again in February for some well-deserved mindfulness time!

Thanks for having us again, Iron Creek Bay Estate😊

We’re wrapping up 2025 with a cracker of a week in the Leaders Program, and this morning was a great way to kick things off with a Wellbeing Framework session with the Iron Creek Bay Estate leadership team.

It's always fantastic working with this crew, and their energy, enthusiasm and genuine commitment to wellbeing really stand out.

A big shout out to Rod, Maria and the whole team for the warm welcome and positive vibes. We love working with you and can’t wait to continue the journey together in 2026 🙌
