About the Sector

The overnight accommodation sector includes businesses that provide lodging and short-term accommodation to those who are vacationing. Some examples of businesses in this sector include hotels, motels, bed and breakfasts, inns, ski lodges, hostels, industry work camps, and resorts.

These businesses often provide other services, such as restaurants, bars, recreational facilities (like spas, hair salons, swimming pools), and entertainment. Therefore, you may want to review our food & beverage services and bars, pubs & nightclubs resources as well.

Return-to-Work Coordinator Training

go2HR invites those who oversee the injury management process or are responsible for coordinating Return-to-Work (RTW) Plans to join in this unique training opportunity!

Facilitated by WorkSafeBC, this two-part course teaches participants a proactive approach to RTW, including how to:

  • Support an injured worker from the moment of injury
  • Provide suitable and/or alternative work that is within their abilities
  • Keep them connected to the workplace as they recover

Industry-specific considerations such as seasonal employment, new, young, and foreign workers, and cross-departmental integration will all be addressed along with general best practices, empowering employers and their representatives to effectively manage their Return-to-Work Programs.
