CEO Rob Palleschi’s Message to G6 Hospitality

We thought it important to share a message that Rob Palleschi sent to all team members and franchise partners today.

Dear Valued Colleagues,

At Motel 6 we respect, value and actively celebrate diversity. We are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels welcome and is treated equitably – from our team members to our owners to our guests.

I am writing to you today because I am deeply disturbed by the increased violence against Asian Americans. These incidents are cruel, scary, and unacceptable. At a time when the world seems more divided than ever, we must stand together with our Asian American colleagues, guests and neighbors. We will not tolerate violence, discrimination, or racism of any kind because our company is committed to keeping the light on for everyone.

To our team members on the front lines, I ask you to be vigilant and stay aware of any potential violence. Stand up for one another, and our guests, by staying true to our company values of care and respect, and speaking up when you see bias or discrimination.

Now is the time to come together as a Motel 6 family to support each other and do our part to be the light in our communities.

Thank you,
Rob

CEO Rob Palleschi’s Message to G6 Hospitality

We thought it important to share a message that Rob Palleschi sent to all team members and franchise partners today.

Dear Valued Colleagues,

I would like to personally address the tragic events of the past week. In an all too familiar scene, a Black man – Mr. George Floyd – was senselessly and tragically killed on the streets of an American city. The scene captured on mobile phones and security cameras left us shocked and horrified.

I do not know what it is like to be a Black man in America. I cannot imagine the pain, the frustration and fatigue of racism and every day injustices. It saddens me to think of my friends, colleagues, and team members AND SO MANY AMERICANS suffering this pain. As President Kennedy once said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

At Motel 6, we honor the memory of Mr. Floyd and countless others who have also suffered at the hands of brutal racism by valuing diversity, inclusion and the contributions of all – regardless of race, creed, color, faith, sexual orientation, gender, or ethnic origin. We will ensure that every day is used as an opportunity for us to live up to this commitment– for our team members, our franchisees, our customers, and our community.

I assure you we will do our part.

Thank you,
Rob
