Together with its marketplace partners LUA and SalesBoost, employee communication hub Beekeeper will showcase some of the tools every hotel needs on the road to recovery

Oakland, Calif., Sept. 16, 2020 — COVID-19 is fundamentally changing the way hoteliers are operating their businesses. Physical distancing requirements, increased compliance demands, and razor-sharp attention to managing costs are accelerating the adoption of technology in the next normal. While the way to recovery is likely long and sinuous, a property’s technology stack can help alleviate some of the pain points. As part of its ongoing COVID-19 Webinar Series, Beekeeper, the No. 1 employee communication platform for hospitality, will address “Technology Must-Haves in The Next Normal,” to be held on September 22^nd at 10:00 a.m. PST. To register for the online event, click here.

Andrada Paraschiv, Beekeeper, Head of Hospitality

“At a minimum, hoteliers need tools that facilitate transparent communication between management and staff to boost employee engagement and morale; they need digital checklists that make the lives of housekeepers, supervisors and managers easier on many levels to free up time, offer visibility into the cleaning status of state-regulated common areas, provide an audit trail of tasks assigned/completed, and deliver a quick return on owner investment; and they need skills-based online sales training and coaching to drive an improved employee experience,” she said. “This will lead to an exceptional guest experience supported by staff who are more engaged with the hotel and each other and who ultimately perform their jobs to the best of their abilities. When we take care of our employees, they will take care of our guests.”

The “Technology Must Haves in The Next Normal” webinar will feature hospitality technology leaders from Lua (a robust housekeeping and task workflow management system) and SalesBoost (a revolutionary skill-based learning platform) who will join Beekeeper in discussing some of the tools every hotelier needs on the road to recovery and beyond. This interactive session will feature live Q&A and it will provide answers to questions such as “How can technology help engage and empower my employees?” and “ Which solutions are best for driving compliance and efficiencies that are needed in the next normal?”

Talking Technology

Operations have changed. The importance of communication has not. Today more than ever effective communication is critical to reaching all employees in real-time, communicating new processes and safety regulations while keeping them engaged. Beekeeper’s Paraschiv, former executive director of communications and strategy of FRHI Hotels & Resorts (Fairmont, Raffles, and Swissôtel), will lead the technology discussion assisted by Tyler Afflixio, Beekeeper senior account executive; Hugh O’Flanagan, LUA CEO; and Gretta Brooks, SalesBoost CEO and Founder.

Several other universities are currently negotiating with SalesBoost to create similar partnerships.  

“Integrating SalesBoost in the curriculum provides students with an on-demand skill-based learning platform,” said SalesBoost Founder and CEO Gretta Brooks. “Students can take their academic knowledge to the next level and learn various roles within hospitality while building the skills and effective communication techniques needed to perform those roles at the highest level”, she added. 

Jana Hawley Dean and Professor of the College of Merchandising, Hospitality, and Tourism concurred noting, “SalesBoost will allow our students to have a competitive advantage over others by providing a higher quality of job readiness.
