An essential but often overlooked part of people management and workplace culture is staff safety. Providing a safe environment for employees is an integral responsibility of any employer. It should be treated with the utmost priority – especially when considering industries and roles that place workers in vulnerable scenarios.

To this effect, the topic of staff safety across the hospitality industry is ever-relevant, as hospitality workers are notoriously faced with the risk of injury or harm while on the job. This is a well-known fact in the industry, and, finally, after many years of negative headlines and rampant staff turnover, hotel brands are reconsidering their internal safety protocols to protect their staff better. Of course, you can’t manage what you can’t measure, and hoteliers can’t expect to shield their team from threats if they don’t first identify those threats. To effectively revamp the safety culture within hotels, we must first explore how hospitality staff members are most vulnerable while performing their duties and what those risks are.

Via Fisher Phillips | image: four types of face masks in a row against a blue background | Should Employers Rescind Their Mask Mandates? A Pros and Cons List to Consider Before Dropping Your Pandemic Policies
As expected, state and local mask requirements continue to be lifted following the CDC’s loosening of its masking recommendations last month. As of today, only 10 states require masks – and many of those requirements apply only in certain limited settings, such as in the healthcare context, shelters, residential care facilities, and schools. The lifting of these governmental mask mandates raises the question of whether employers should continue to require masks in the workplace as a matter of internal policy. There’s no "one size fits all" answer to this question. Rather, each business should weigh the pros and cons of requiring masks in their workplace and decide what’s best for their particular locations and circumstances. This Insight will review the current state of the law and offer considerations to take into account before dropping your mask mandates.
