Case Studies

Report on Dyslexia and the workplace

The hotel and catering industry is based upon creativity and customer service - with people skills, dedication and hard work forming the main prerequisites for a strong career. Traditionally the industry has attracted many who have not performed well academically and, perhaps not surprisingly, the anecdotal evidence suggests that there are a high proportion of catering and hospitality employees with learning difficulties or dyslexia. This observation is supported by the fact that of all departments at Oxford Brookes University, Tourism and Hospitality has a disproportionate number of students who are registered as dyslexic.

This report includes 3 Dyslexia Case Studies, Advice for Employers and Advice for Recruitment to try to minimise the impact on dyslexic team members and applicants and encourage those with dyslexia to maximise their potential.
