Webinar - Reopening the Hospitality Industry: What You Need to Know!

While the Hospitality Industry is navigating their path towards a reopening there is uncertainty about when the hospitality & travel industry will be fully operational again. 

During this zoom webinar, we will cover best practices for what we should expect from employees to employers and the new challenges that will face the hospitality industry.  California has always been a leader in new changes that will adapt to the rest of the country. This Zoom webinar brings the top Industry leaders in Law and Insurance to help all of us during this extraordinary time.

In April 2020, hospitality & leisure experienced the largest decline in employment in California.  It is now estimated that indemnity claims frequency in California could increase by 40% following COVID-19, negatively impacting workers’ compensation costs and hitting the hospitality industry hard.  It will take fine manipulation to curb these costs which can be done with the right strategy, people, and resources.  Please join us to learn about:

  • Workers Compensation Trends Impacting Hospitality
  • Why a 40% increase in indemnity claims frequency is anticipated
  • New Challenges for hospitality
  • What actions can the hospitality industry take now to reduce the cost of workers’ compensation in the future          
  • Hotel reopening considerations to protect against employment liability
  • Communications with employees returning to work
  • What managers should understand
  • When employers must provide reasonable accommodations for employees during the reopening (and what issues must be accommodated)
  • Overview of federal, state, and local laws that could apply to your hotel during the reopening
