Is Your Hotel Ready to Protect 5-Star Reviews Amid Labor Challenges? ?? The irony isn't lost on me—10,000 hotel workers striking during a peak holiday weekend is a stark reminder of the challenges the #hospitalityindustry faces. But with the right strategy and a robust property management system (#PMS), hotels can offset the impact of these disruptions. By automating key tasks (check-ins, room assignments, and housekeeping schedules) and strategically managing staffing levels, hotels can maintain quality service even with reduced personnel. Effective communication and transparency are key to keeping guests informed and satisfied during these times. While the current strike underscores the need for better pay and working conditions, hotels that leverage strategic planning and a modern #PMS can better navigate such challenges, ensuring continued operations and guest satisfaction even under difficult circumstances. ??? #Hospitality #PropertyManagement #Leadership #HospitalityTech #PMS

With an upcoming strike looming in the hospitality industry, travelers should be mindful of potential disruptions during their stays. Strikes can lead to significant impacts on services such as housekeeping, security, and overall hotel operations, potentially affecting your experience and, more critically, your safety. Here are a few key points to consider: 1.) Service Disruptions: With reduced staff, services like housekeeping, maintenance, and food service may be delayed or unavailable. Consider this when planning your stay and packing essentials. 2.) Security Concerns: Hotel security might also be affected, potentially increasing the risk of theft or other security issues. It’s wise to take extra precautions, such as securing valuables and being vigilant in common areas. 3.) Plan Ahead: If you have upcoming travel plans, check with your hotel to understand how they plan to operate during the strike. Some hotels may offer alternatives or additional safety measures to mitigate the impact. 4.) Support and Awareness: While the strike may pose inconveniences, it's also an important reminder of the working conditions many hotel staff face. Understanding their concerns can foster empathy and support for fair labor practices. Whether you're embarking on a business trip or a leisurely adventure, it's crucial to stay well-informed and ready to handle any situation that comes your way. Let's make safety our top priority and strive to stay informed during this time of uncertainty. #TravelSafety #Tips #Safety #Travel #Hospitality #Hotels #BusinessTravel https://lnkd.in/g6CiitpR

When hotel strikes happen—what’s your backup plan? ??? On September 19, more than 1,200 unionized hotel workers walked off the job at four business hotels in Boston operated by Marriott and Omni. The planned three-day strike came with only three days’ notice from labor union Unite Here, which represents employees in the?food-and-beverage, housekeeping, bar, lounge, and bell departments. Meeting groups using those cities should be ready to get creative.

The woeful state of today's hotel industry. Associates, guests and communites v the money-driven corporate mob. Hospitality is dead The union is lobbying against legislation backed by hotel corporations that would limit states’ ability to regulate resort fees. Hotel workers argue that resort fees, along with COVID-era service and staffing cuts, undermine the hospitality that guests expect reports Asian Hospitality “We’re here because guests and workers share a common goal – we want hotels to reverse COVID-era cuts, protect guests from resort fees, and refocus on providing the best possible hospitality,” said Gwen Mills,?UNITE HERE’s president. Despite hotel room rates reaching record highs and the U.S. hotel industry earning more than $100 billion in gross operating profit in 2022, workers report that wages are insufficient to support their families, often requiring them to work multiple jobs. Meanwhile, staffing per occupied room was down 13 percent from 2019 to 2022. “I love my job, but dealing with frustrated guests over resort fees is a challenge,” said Briana Canencia, a server at the Waikiki Beach Marriott. “We want guests to stay with us, but those extra fees cause a lot of frustration.” “We’ve been fighting staffing and service cuts since the pandemic,” said Violeta Reyes, a House Attendant at the Westin Seattle. “Between those cuts and extra fees, hotels are treating both workers and guests unfairly. That’s why we’re here in D.C.” “I’m on strike because, despite record profits, I work three jobs to support my family,” said Aileen Bautista, a housekeeper at Hilton Hawaiian Village. “We’re committed to negotiating, but hotel management doesn’t seem to understand.” John Shepherd (Marriott victim and hunger striker) Anthony Capuano David Marriott Rena Reiss UNITE HERE! #marriott #marriottinternational #marriottbonvoy #corruption #greed #hotelindustry
