Relay’s mission is deeply rooted with connecting the country’s frontline workers to the people and information they need to get their jobs done safely and more efficiently.

According to the American Hotel and Lodging Association’s (AHLA) State of the Hotel Industry 2021 report, more than 670,000 hotel industry operation jobs and nearly 4 million hospitality jobs were lost in 2020 due to the pandemic. It’s also estimated that the pandemic has eliminated more than 10 years of job growth in the accommodations sector.
