What The Hudson is about
Laura is a young housekeeper who has just started working at the Hudson Crown, one of New York's most iconic hotels. Here, excellence isn't a slogan: it's the everyday standard.
The challenges keep growing, and Laura has to bring her best and truly take responsibility for her role. In every situation there's the temptation to justify herself or dodge the problem, and the alternative: step up and account for what she does.
As you follow her, your accountability training happens through exercises that recreate real-life situations in a safe, stress-free environment and get personalized feedback with areas for improvement. That's how accountability in the workplace stops being a poster on the wall and becomes an attitude.
