Immigration reform is also needed to fill many open back-of-house positions. fNew laws and regulations will affect our businesses. Workplace safety and workload limits have affected many larger cities in California already. Hotels all want a safe environment for their workers, but it needs to be a practical solution that can easily be implemented and monitored in order to provide a truly safe workplace. We are seeing individual cities implement workload limits for their hotels, something we haven’t seen in the past. This has severely impacted how hotels operate on a daily basis. Throughout the coming year, its challenges and opportunities, CHLA continues to advocate for its members on both a statewide and national level and provide programs to help your business. The ADA program has been very successful and there are plans to expand this further. The Clean & Safe program that was so successful during the pandemic is being redirected towards ensuring Clean & Safe destinations. We continue to educate our members about human trafficking, while many members have taken advantage of the Employee Retention Credit program. We will continue to do this and more for you, our members, throughout 2023. I wish you and your loved ones Happy Holidays, and a successful and prosperous New Year.
