React Mobile Named Participant in AHLA-HTNG Staff Alert II Workgroup

React Mobile is among the panic button solution providers participating in the AHLA-HTNG Staff Alert II Workgroup.

React Mobile is excited to announce its participation in the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and Hospitality Technology Next Generation (HTNG) Staff Alert II Workgroup. This workgroup first convened in 2019 to develop and publish the Staff Alert Device Buyer’s Guide: Version 1.

Over the last few years, the 5-Star Promise has reshaped the hospitality industry, which has led to the creation of innovative staff safety technologies and a reconvening of this workgroup. For the next few months, this workgroup will meet to produce and publish resources that reflect the industry's latest technological advancements. For more information or to subscribe to be notified on the findings contact the AHLA. 

“React Mobile is honored to be participating in this workgroup again,” said Riley Eller, CTO of React Mobile. “Hoteliers realize that housekeeping staff working in secluded areas, like guest rooms, can find themselves in vulnerable situations. Being able to create and maintain a safer work environment is essential to this industry, and research into advanced and inventive technology is needed to support that.”

What is the 5-Star Promise?

Building on decades of investments in safety and security and in coordination with security experts, the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and the major hotel brands in membership announced the 5-Star Promise, a pledge to provide hotel employees across the U.S. with employee safety devices (ESDs) and commit to enhanced policies, trainings and resources that together are aimed at enhancing hotel safety, including preventing and responding to sexual harassment and assault. 

This comprehensive commitment includes these five important components:

• Build on our industry’s longstanding commitment to hospitality and a People Culture by continuing to provide industry-wide training and materials on safety and security, and retain expert guidance to work with the industry on diversity and safety matters.
• Ensure mandatory anti-sexual harassment policies are in place in multiple
  languages.
• Provide ongoing training and education for employees on identifying and reporting sexual harassment.
• Provide U.S. hotel employees with employee safety devices to help them feel safe on the job.
• Broaden vital partnerships with wide-ranging national organizations that target sexual violence and assault and trafficking and promote workplace safety.
