In response to the growing threats of fraud and cyber-crime against the hospitality industry, White-Collar Crime 101 LLC, announced the introduction of the first on-line fraud awareness training course for hospitality managers and line employees.
The 70-minute course, FraudAware/Hospitality, is designed to meet the growing demand from hospitality company security and financial managers for a cost-effective training tool to equip employees with the knowledge to detect, prevent and report embezzlement… credit card scams… acceptance of counterfeit checks… Internet fraud … and a host of other fast-growing financial crimes against hospitality properties.
Peter Goldmann, President of White-Collar Crime 101 LLC, the leading publisher of anti-fraud and cyber-crime newsletters, said, "FraudAware/Hospitality is timely not only because losses to fraud and cyber-crime in the hospitality industry are at all-time highs, but also because hospitality training directors are looking for low-cost, high-impact solutions that eliminate the need for time-consuming travel from location to location to conduct lengthy classroom-style sessions." "FraudAware/Hospitality", said Goldmann is a cost-effective awareness training program that enables hospitality personnel to be trained anytime, 24/7, by simply logging on to their PC’s.
In designing and producing FraudAware/Hospitality, White-Collar Crime 101 partnered with Wilson Learning & McCourt Associates, a leader in motivational, results-driven learning design and cutting edge E-learning technology.
The result is a unique, self-paced and interactive program delivering essential "how-to" knowledge for detecting and reporting hotel, restaurant and bar scams of all kinds.
In a recent survey of senior hospitality managers who took the FraudAware/Hospitality course, the overwhelming majority described the course as "eye-opening" and highly useful. And 92% said that they wanted all of their employees to take the course.
Goldmann said that hospitality companies interested in reviewing the FraudAware/Hospitality program can get a free demo by calling 1-800-440-2261, or by sending an E-mail request to [email protected].
