We ❤️ Heart of Hospitality

06 Apr 2018 We ❤️ Heart of Hospitality

This week our entire staff participated in a Heart of Hospitality training. Why? Because we care about everyone in our community and we want our customers, longtimers and newcomers, to understand that Liquid Riot is a place where everyone is welcome and safe.

Heart of Hospitality is a training program created to educate restaurant and bar employees about issues of sexual harassment in the workplace. The program was started by a group including Oronde Kruger, who happens to be one of our staff. Having him talk with our crew made this an especially great opportunity for everyone.

In bars and restaurants, harassment and bias situations happen too often. Thanks to Oronde and his colleague Devon Mulligan, our team is more prepared to identify incidents of harassment and know when and how to step in. In some cases it can turn into defamation, this is where the professionals such as a defamation lawyer need to step in to make sure everything is handled in the proper legal way when dealing with problems such as this. No one should feel scared or worried to step up and say that they are being harassed, especially if it affecting their business inside and outside.

To learn more and invite Oronde into your workplace for training, here’s how to get in touch, email heartofhospitality.me@gmail.com.
