According to Embassy Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, annual compliance training is a requirement for all hotels. The training may cover topics such as diversity and inclusion, unconscious bias, harassment prevention, human trafficking prevention, disability awareness, cyber security, and health and safety.
Embassy Suites offers training at no cost for cyber security, disability awareness, human trafficking prevention, diversity and inclusion, and unconscious bias. However, franchisees can choose to obtain this training from a vendor of their choice, with costs agreed upon between the franchisee and the vendor.
For harassment prevention and health and safety, Embassy Suites does not offer training but will provide vendor recommendations upon request. The FDD estimates vendor fees for these topics would typically cost $25 to $50 per person, per topic.
