EIC has released several new resources from the APEX COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force.
In late August, EIC shared the Health and Safety for Hotels Accepted Practices Guide. The task force's hotel work group used the various guides issued by hotel companies as well as resources such as the AHLA Stay Safe program, and other global resources, as a starting point to develop a baseline. This guide offers insights beyond those guidelines focusing on four key areas:
- Transmission barriers
- Enhanced sanitisation
- Health screening
- Food and beverage guidelines
The guide covers baseline and enhanced protocols, a curation of hotel practices via a video library, as well as links to a repository of resources by EIC members and key sector-specific guidance.
Understanding the essential element of rebuilding and regaining trust, other elements of this guide, available as stand-alone documents, include:
- Events Industry Council Principles for Recovery, which correspond with U.N. Sustainable Development goals, and how this guide supports those principles
- Guide to Opening Dialogue - Key Questions for hotels and event organisers to ask each other to build trust and dialogue on health, safety, and sustainability
EIC hosted a webinar, moderated by Scott Beck, President and CEO, Tourism Toronto, and featuring members from the hotel working group, who walked through key learings and resources from the guide. You can access that video here.
This week, EIC released the Resources for Workforce and Wellness Accepted Practices Guide, which is the culmination of work from the Workforce and Wellness working group of the task force.
The latest addition to the series of accepted practices guides includes:
- Duty of Care standards
- Resources for career reskilling and restarting
- Frameworks for workforce, wellness and well-being
- Events industry wellness programme case studies
- COVID-19 resources
EIC will release additional deliverables via social media channels, webinars, and the EIC website. If you'd like to follow our activity on social, please connect with @Events_Council on Twitter (#APEXTaskForce), and Events Industry Council on Facebook and LinkedIn.
