Further, the awards pay tribute to management companies and industry suppliers that have gone above and beyond to create safe and engaging work environments despite the challenges of the past year.
“We are very proud of this important award,” said BH Founder and Chairman, Harry Bookey. “As a company, we take a page from hospitality leader and restauranteur, Danny Meyers, who says that when you ‘put employees first, your customers will follow.’”
