Education professional Nichole Thiel has worked in both administrative and educational capacities, gaining diverse experience across a wide range of industries, including corporate retail and sales. In a search for new opportunities, Nichole Thiel has now shifted to working in the hospitality industry, which has been hard hit by the COVID-19 global pandemic.
As hotels begin to reopen, with restrictions being lifted in numerous locations, the reality is that the hotels we return to may look very different than before the pandemic. Best Western and its arsenal of brands are no exception, as new cleaning procedures are being implemented by nearly all the major hotel brands across the globe.
Best Western is one of the many major hotel chains dedicated to implementing the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s (AHLA) StaySafe campaign. Created by an advisory council composed of members from across the hotel industry, the AHLA StaySafe campaign covers everything from how to implement contactless check-in and check-out procedures to new and updated cleaning and sanitization procedures.
To facilitate the adoption of these new policies, the AHLA’s American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute has created a new online program titled “COVID-19 Precautions for Hotels.” The course is available in both English and Spanish for employees of all levels. Because of its easy length (just 15 minutes) and affordability, this course will be a simple addition to improving training and helping update cleaning procedures.
