1:00 pm CST (UTC -6)
Gisela Zarco, Senior Vice President of Business Development, Macmoor Capital
The ERC (Employee Retention Credit), enacted as part of the CARES Act, provides payroll credit for eligible employers, whose businesses have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. All eligible businesses that retained 500 employees or less between March 13, 2020 and September 30, 2021, may receive up to $26,000 per employee if they were to qualify. This is not a loan and does not have to be repaid.
To learn more about the ERC program, including qualification guideline updates, reporting period updates, and much more, take the time to attend this HFTP Hangout to better understand how to recover the maximum amount of ERC credits under IRS guidelines.

Staffing: Global Survey Results
Thursday, 12 January 2023
10:00 am CST (UTC -6)
Panel Members: TBA
The topic of the survey is on the most significant issue affecting the industry now and in the foreseeable future – staffing.
The survey was undertaken as a partnership between the Institute of Hospitality, International Centre of Excellence in Tourism and Hospitality Education (THE-ICE), and eHotelier. The survey was designed to better understand the future skills needs of the international hospitality industry.
This would be one of the most comprehensive surveys undertaken and would provide significant data that should help to better inform the training and education sectors of the industry as well as provide insights into current industry thinking on professional development and the links to recruitment and retention.
