Hyatt Hotels has expanded their Global Care and Cleanliness Committment by seeking accredtiations for each of its 900 hotels around the world from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council, a division of ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association. The GBAC Star accreditation will be given to hotels that reach certain cleanliness, disinfection, and infection diseases prevention benchmarks. Hyatt will also develop new work procedures for employees and institute new mandatory training sessions on health and safety.
And by September, Hyatt Hotels will have at least one person on-property trained as a Hygiene Manager. This person will oversee the new health and safety protocols which will most likely include:
- Colleague certification, trainings and recertification process for hygiene and cleanliness
- Increased frequency of cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants on all high-touch surfaces and areas such as lobbies, guestrooms, restaurants, meeting and event spaces, recreational areas, public restrooms, fitness centers, elevator buttons, all employee areas, and more
- Implementation of enhanced food safety and hygiene protocols for restaurants, room service, and group meetings and events
- Prominently placed hand sanitizer stations throughout hotel public and employee areas and entrances
- Exploring purification and sanitization device installation in an effort to ensure air quality
- Protective masks and other equipment worn by hotel colleagues
- Social distancing guidance in public areas across hotel properties
- Evolving new policies in consideration of guidance and information shared by various health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), local authorities, and other leading organizations and experts
