Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

Hyatt to introduce global hotel sanitisation measures





Hyatt Announces Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment
The Hyatt Hotels Corporation has decided to review standards of hotel cleanliness, hygiene, and sanitisation globally. The move comes in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic that demands safety and hygiene measures in hotels. The company has also planned to introduce employee training and accreditation to ensure compliance.

More than 900 Hyatt group hotels around the world will undergo assessment as part of the strategy. The hotels would look forward to obtaining Global Bio-risk Advisory Council (GBAC) STAR accreditation, with hygiene practices and protocols upgraded under the direction of a cross-functional group of medical experts and industry professionals. GBAC is a division of the International Sanitary Supply Association- leading the worldwide cleaning industry collaboration. The council comprises experts in microbial and pathogenic threats and mitigation which deals with global health crises on a real-time basis.

Hyatt will be implementing a performance-based cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention program. The company would focus on establishing and maintaining hotel environments that are sanitary, safe, and healthy.

Employee training will be boosted in line with new protocols, while Hyatt will implement regular internal and third-party auditing to ensure standards are met and exceeded consistently. Daily colleague surveys will be introduced for internal reporting, which will also include standards for hotel working order and customer service, allowing management to make adjustments and improvements as necessary.

In addition, by September 2020, every Hyatt hotel will have at least one person trained as a Hygiene Manager who will be responsible for ensuring the property maintains Hyatt’s mandated operational cleanliness procedures. Mark Hoplamazian, President and CEO, Hyatt Hotels said in a statement that he looks forward to ensuring every Hyatt guest and team member feels safe within each hotel.

He mentioned that the company would also make sure that every aspect of a hotel’s operation has been refined with their safety in mind. He shared that to execute the plan successfully the hotel experience must be critically examined from every vantage point. He added that all rooms, lobbies as well as adjoining areas like spas and dining should be tested with the help of the latest research, technology, and innovation.
