Introducing All-New Commitment to Green Training and Resources!
 
 
As you onboard and begin to use your Energy Collection & Measurement (ECM) Utilities Savings Dashboard, you may be asking ‘now what?’ We are here to help.

We invite you to watch the new ECM Dashboard training videos, now LIVE on ChoiceU.com. Each of the comprehensive videos in the series provides you with a better understanding of how to use this tool to your advantage.

Coming Soon: New Support Options – Hospitality Services
 
 
We are changing how you contact GM Coaching, Reputation Management, and Choice Privileges Hotel Support (CPHS)* to simplify how you can find support. Currently, there are individual phone numbers and email addresses to reach each of these. We are consolidating teams under a new name, Hospitality Services, so you can reach each team the same way.  

What is changing?
  • There will be one single phone number to reach GM Coaching, Reputation Management, and Choice Privileges Hotel Support (CPHS), consolidated under Hospitality Services.
  • Instead of individual email addresses for each of these teams, you will reach the teams via ChoiceNow intake forms.
  • Choice Cares and Call Forwarding teams will be offered under the new phone number, and their individual email and phone numbers will continue.
Stay tuned for more information on how to contact Hospitality Services for support.

*GM Coaching does not apply to WoodSpring Suites® and Everhome Suites brand hotels. CPHS does not apply to WoodSpring Suites® brand hotels.
