Are you ready to transform your hotel into a welcoming sanctuary where every member of your team feels valued and respected? Picture a workplace where authenticity is celebrated, where diversity isn’t just acknowledged but embraced, and where everyone has the opportunity to shine.

Unfortunately, not every workplace fits this description. According to the January 2024 Telus Mental Health Index Report, a significant portion of employees feel undervalued and unsupported, leading to poor mental health scores. But it’s not too late to make a change.

Creating an inclusive workplace culture requires dedication and effort, but the rewards are immeasurable. It starts with leadership commitment. Without senior leaders driving the shift, initiatives can falter. Additionally, providing training opportunities empowers your team to understand and champion diversity and inclusion.

Take the first step today by enrolling in go2HR’s introductory online training course: “An Introduction to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) for Tourism & Hospitality.” Visit go2HR’s EDI Resource Hub to discover more about the benefits of EDI training and to kickstart your journey towards a more inclusive workplace. go2HR, the HR and health and safety association for the BC Tourism and Hospitality Industry, has a wealth of free resources to support you. We invite you to reach out to your go2HR Regional HR Consultant for a free consultation to learn more about how you can support your employees.
