Montvale, N.J.-based Dolce Hotels and Resorts, which operates 24 upscale hotels, resorts and conference centers, underwent a three-phase program to help protect its guests and employees from the H1N1 flu virus.
1. The company conducted refresher training for each of its 4,000-plus employees in sanitation, hygiene and food safety. Managers reminded staff members to monitor their personal health and seek medical attention if they have any flu symptoms.
2. Guest-room telephones, keyboards, remote controls, AV equipment, appliance handles, door knobs, light switches and other surfaces that are touched frequently were sanitized.
3. Dolce properties distributed personal-size bottles of hand-sanitizer lotion at check-in with a card detailing the initiatives and reassuring guests. Hand sanitizer was also available in conference areas and meeting rooms.
