Essential compliance training for hospitality teams
Start with courses addressing some of the most important risks facing hotels and hospitality organizations, then expand your program based on your workforce and requirements.
Key Compliance Topics in Hospitality
The Topic
Why It Matters
Workplace harassment
In a survey of nearly 500 women working in Chicago-area hotels and casinos, 58% of the hotel workers surveyed reported experiencing sexual harassment by a guest. Training helps employees recognize inappropriate behavior, report concerns and understand protections against retaliation.
Wage and hour compliance
With violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) leading to many settlements totaling over $10 million, ensuring your managers understand pay practices is essential.
Workplace violence prevention
In Traliant’s 2025 survey of more than 1,000 full-time U.S. employees, 46% of hospitality respondents reported witnessing workplace violence. Training can help employees recognize warning signs, report concerns and respond appropriately.
Recognizing human trafficking
An estimated 27.6 million people worldwide are in forced labor, including 17.3 million exploited in the private sector. Because hotels and other hospitality venues may be used by traffickers, employees need practical guidance on recognizing and reporting potential warning signs.
What our customers are saying
“You don’t often hear employees give you feedback that harassment prevention or human trafficking training has actually made a difference and brought knowledge that they were not aware of before.”
-Thais Altschuler, Director of People Support, HHM Hospitality
