Harrisonburg, VA (Sept. 1, 2023) – Jackson Hotel Management today recognized National Hotel Employee Day. “I am incredibly proud of the exceptional team we have at Jackson Hotel Management. Today, as we celebrate National Hotel Employee Day, I want to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every member of our hotel families. Our hotels are not just buildings; they are places where guests find a home away from home. This is made possible because of the dedication and hard work of our hotel employees.,” said Brent Jackson, President of Jackson Hotel Management. “But let's not forget, today is not just about Jackson Hotel Management's team. It's about recognizing and celebrating ALL hotel employees across the industry. Your contributions are integral to the success of travel and tourism, and you deserve every bit of recognition.” The American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) and National Day Calendar established National Hotel Employee Day in 2022 to honor the nearly two million employees who work in the hotel industry. It is observed annually on September 1. This year, National Hotel Employee Day comes as hotels across the nation are working to quickly fill nearly 100,000 open hotel jobs. To attract more talent, hotels are offering current and prospective employees near-historic wages, better benefits, and more flexibility than ever before. “Employees are the lifeblood of every hotel, and we created National Hotel Employee Day to help thank America’s nearly two million hotel professionals for their incredible service and dedication,” said AHLA President & CEO Chip Rogers. “Today and throughout the year, we are proud to celebrate hotel employees and their important work. From wedding receptions to family reunions and vacations, our workforce helps create some of Americans’ most important memories. And with hotel pay, benefits, flexibility, and upward mobility all at near-historic levels, there’s never been a better time to start a hotel career.”
