Lodging Magazine recently published an article authored by Gunster shareholder Roger Feicht. In this article, Feicht discusses changes in the hospitality industry since 2020 with the rise of COVID-19. Similar to hotel rooms, Feicht points out that employee handbooks need periodic renovations to ensure they are compliant with new laws so that there is consistent and fair guidance for employees and applicants.
Feicht also highlights changing employment policies in regards to work-from-home, medical leave, anti-discrimination policies and COVID-19 guidance. He states, "As hotels adjust their operations, staffing levels, and revenue projections for the second half of 2021, they should also take some time to update their employee handbooks to ensure they are legally compliant and prepared for when future issues arise."
Healthcare Business Today also published an article authored by Feicht on this topic.
