Providing online training
To raise awareness and educate the management and staff at our franchised hotels, we provide a required online training - Combating Human Trafficking in Your Hotel. We also make other resources available, such as back-of-the-house posters, short videos, and more.
Ongoing communication
Through ongoing communications, we work to raise awareness at our franchised hotels including articles in our franchisee newsletter, education sessions at our annual convention, and alerts to hotels located in areas of high-risk events like the Super Bowl and Olympics. We also utilize our field-based associates to visit the hotels and encourage them to complete the training.
