Hospitality and Hotel Risk Management Expertise

Our experience in the hospitality industry indicates that controlling the impact of claims costs can critical in improving your financial performance. Net profit margins are typically razor thin in the hospitality industry. Recent growth in average revenue per available hotel room has driven profit margin improvement within 5%-7% range from a low in 2009 of -5%.

Further, hospitality companies can be highly susceptible to significant claim activity given that hospitality workers engage in injury-sensitive activities such as housekeeping, food and beverage, and maintenance.  

It is important to develop thoughtful pre- and post-loss strategies to reduce expenses in a hotel or other hospitality company. Lockton Risk Control professionals in both the pre- & post-claim disciplines have deep experience in developing client specific loss cost reduction strategies addressing such issues including:

• Medical cost containment
• Claim expense controls
• Lag reporting practices
• Hospitality ergonomics 
• Improved employee selection and onboarding
