For many, the return to travel – whether for business or pleasure – may be hard to imagine as COVID-19 remains present, yet we’re working with hospitality partners around the world and Forbes Travel Guide to ensure that journey is as safe and secure as possible, wherever it may lead. Last week, we announced the world’s first hotels and resorts to become Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED. As a solution to support guests, employees, and travel planners in response to COVID-19 and other acute public health events, our third-party system verifies compliance across more than 360 expert-validated standards including health and hygiene protocols, ventilation, physical distancing, and more. In addition, participating hotels are able to track daily employee virus screening results and provide relevant tools for guests and visitors, including clinically validated health screeners and information and updates on that facility's guidelines. Learn more about our collaborative approach to health security in this article from Skift.

It’s no secret that we love celebrating and learning from women who are leading the way, like our company president, Dawn Whaley. Recently, Dawn sat down with podcast host Lisa Ross-Faust for an episode of The Mona Lisa Monologues, a new series that empowers and encourages women to embrace their inner strength, featuring stories from women who have broken the glass ceiling, worked in a “man’s world,” or managed to climbed their way to the top. Lisa has known Dawn for more than 20 years, yet says the conversation revealed stories about Dawn and her career that she hadn’t heard before. The episode covers everything from Dawn’s earliest days as a leader to her insider perspective on the accelerated adoption of digital and everything in-between. Dawn also shares what has made this the most “intense” phase of her career to date as our company rapidly responds to the COVID-19 pandemic.
