As the first project of this kind, the property in the Lyoner Straße in Frankfurt am Main is being extensively renovated and expanded. The first milestone has been achieved with the gutting of the property. Parallel to this, EVAN has defined the procedures necessary for smooth operation hand-in-hand with selected hotels and their employees in around 12 months of preliminary work and transferred them into IT specifications. The result is an Internet-based portal for administrative purposes such as booking, rental contracts, etc. and an app handling the social issues and concerns of the employees. The first prototypes of both applications have already been completed. “We are breaking new ground in the field of “serviced apartments” by designing them specifically for highly mobile middle-income hotel employees. The expertise provided by Prof. Gerhard is particularly valuable for us and our customers in this area”, says Dr. Michael Nave, Director and CEO of EVANGroup. “We have conducted many discussions with hotel operators during recent weeks and months. The general shortage of skilled workers is not without repercussions for them either, especially since employees often change their place of work for purposes of further training during the first ten years of their career. By offering highly modern accommodation at reasonable prices, individual establishments can increase their attractiveness as employers. We see it as our calling to support the hotels in the best possible way.” Professor Stephan Gerhard, member of the Advisory Board of EVANGroup, points out: “Finding good employees is increasingly becoming one of the major challenges in the hotel industry. While it is frequently possible to maintain staff houses in holiday regions, employees in metropolitan areas are often faced with an almost insoluble problem when looking for suitable living space. And this is exactly where the livinit concept comes in: high-quality apartments, made available to employees by the hotels at an affordable price, are a good argument in choosing a particular employer!” Prof. Stephan Gerhard is founder and partner of TREUGAST. In addition to more than 30 years of consulting experience in the tourism industry, Prof. Gerhard has also made a name for himself as a recognised industry expert, for example as one of the co-founders of the 25hours Hotel Company and arcona Management GmbH. Prof. Gerhard is professor for hotel development at FHM – Fachhochschule des Mittelstands as well as lecturer at several renowned universities for tourism and real estate economics in Germany. In addition, Prof. Gerhard is a Certified Rating Advisor and a member of the Advisory Board of IUBH – International University of Applied Sciences Bad Honnef, the FBMA foundation board, the Advisory Board of the IHA German Hotel Association and the Advisory Board of the Deutscher Hotelkongress (German Hotel Congress).
