Human Trafficking Training Across 1500 Properties

There is nothing more important to G6 than the safety and well-being of our guests, our team members, and the communities in which we operate. G6 implements a variety of practices that help to prevent human trafficking through enhanced safety and security procedures; employee and franchise education, training and response; and partnerships and advocacy.

Our commitment to anti-trafficking efforts is made clear through our comprehensive awareness, training and response program. During 2020, G6 updated its training materials and program to ensure it was compliant with evolving legislation on anti-trafficking efforts as well as continued to remain relevant for G6 team members and contained updated information on G6’s approach to anti-trafficking efforts, including how to spot the signs of and help prevent human trafficking. Motel 6 trains all staff—from the General Manager through the most junior housekeepers—to be the “eyes and ears” and to alert the property’s General Manager, local police and the G6 Hotline upon observing any signs of suspected human trafficking or prostitution.

Room Next Door continued to be offered through G6’s online learning management system. All G6 Hospitality team members at owned and managed hotels are required to take this training annually, and franchise owners are required to provide this training to their hotel team members.
