Sound Off On Labor Shortages

AHLA and the AHLA Foundation are continually working to address hospitality labor shortages and advance policies that will help your business through the pandemic.  
  
As part of those efforts, we are conducting a new Front Desk Feedback survey of members on the status of their business, their current staffing situation and their outlook for the months ahead. The survey will take you less than five minutes to complete, and your responses will provide valuable feedback to help us ensure we are serving your needs. 
  
All responses will be anonymized, and no individual information will be shared. 
  
We ask that you complete this survey by Friday, October 22.
