Hotel COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate
WZ open training programs take place at hotels throughout the country and the world. Due to recent mandates by the state or hotel, attendees may be asked to provide proof of their COVID-19 vaccination. In some instances, course participants will need to supply documented proof directly to the hotel. In other instances, WZ may be asked to gather the information from the attendees and then provide a vaccination roster to the hotel. If the latter is required, WZ will destroy vaccination documentation provided by an attendee following the training event. Thank you for your cooperation.
How can I receive WZ training if I have travel restrictions?
If you are looking for CEU credits, additional training, or further development in your interviewing skills, WZ currently offers the below remote training options.

How has this situation impacted normal business operations for WZ?
Based on governmental mandates as well as following precautionary measures to protect the well-being of our team and our clients, we have closed our office in Aurora, Illinois. Although our physical office will be closed, our team is still at work to support the needs of our clients. Our phone line will be transferred to the remote staff, and we will still be available via email info@w-z.com.
Due to the closure of the office as well as restrictions on travel and shipment, please understand any delay in the delivery of expected merchandise or supplies from WZ.
Are any WZ training seminars being canceled or postponed?
We are evaluating every training event relative to the location, size of the class, and guidance by local government officials.
For our contractual programs, where a company or agency is hosting the training, we are in communication with your leadership to make the appropriate decision.

What precautionary measures is WZ taking?
We are actively evaluating any opportunity to employ additional precautionary measures to ensure the well-being of our attendees and staff. This includes discussions around social distancing with our instructors as it relates to role-plays in training, the registration process, and other interactions that attendees may normally have with each other.
What if my company has imposed a travel ban and I can’t attend training?
Please call 800-222-7789 to be rescheduled for a training session later this year.
How can attendees help to ensure the training is in a healthy environment?
We ask that all attendees take precautionary measures and assist in maintaining a safe and healthy environment. If you are feeling ill, please take care of yourself and, out of respect for other attendees, we ask that you do not attend the training seminar.
Additionally, please follow these “Steps to Prevent Illness” as recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
