Grant Overview
Tennessee hospitality employers document elevated turnover linked to documented stress and physical demands in high-volume tourism corridors. State labor statistics place annual separation rates above 65 percent for frontline staff in Sevier and Davidson counties.
Surveys conducted through the Tennessee Department of Labor show that 47 percent of departing workers cite burnout without access to structured wellness resources. This pattern concentrates in music tourism venues and Great Smoky Mountains gateway properties where peak-season schedules exceed 50 hours weekly.
Workforce age distribution in these corridors skews younger than the state manufacturing average, with limited accumulated leave time or employer-sponsored health programs.
Funding for health and wellness training targets retention by supporting mental health first aid certification and ergonomic service protocols. Awards require submission of county-specific turnover data from the prior three years.
Eligible applicants include regional workforce development boards and hospitality associations that partner with licensed clinical providers. Proposals must schedule training during shoulder seasons and provide shift coverage stipends.
Evaluation criteria favor programs that incorporate existing state employee assistance plan frameworks rather than creating parallel services. Delivery locations are restricted to facilities already used for unemployment insurance workshops to control overhead.
Tennessee application rules differ from Kentucky or Georgia by tying wellness outcomes directly to measurable reductions in separation filings with the state unemployment insurance division.
