Hospitality Experience: Property Management Audit Program & Services
Improve guest experience and brand reputation with HX from SGS – a comprehensive property management audit solution for the hospitality industry.
The travel and hospitality industry is facing a variety of potential risks, including environmental, social and economic. These increasing pressures on safety and experience are raising the bar for guest expectations. In a hotel, taking care of your guests doesn’t only mean giving them quality service, but also ensuring that their safety and well-being is prioritized. Any issues with the management of confidential customer information, food, water, air contamination or infrastructure can negatively affect your company and operations.
Defining risk management for the hospitality industry
Effective risk management in the hospitality industry, not only benefits guests, but can improve employee engagement and ultimately increase brand value and reputation.
Hospitality risks can be categorized into three groups:
- Operational risk: day-to-day operational risks that can occur
- Project risk: risks associated with new property developments, renovations and expansions
- Strategic risk: business continuity and financial risks associated with new opportunities
The modern hotelier must ensure that all three of these categories have been addressed and must be able to prove so to potential guests.
