Corporate & Hospitality Industries
Human Trafficking, Modern Slavery & Workplace Response Resources
Welcome. Whether you work in business, hospitality, travel, tourism, events, transportation, property services or another public-facing industry, employees may encounter situations that raise concerns about exploitation.
These resources are designed to help organizations train staff, recognize possible indicators, strengthen internal response plans and connect concerns with appropriate reporting or support channels. Warning signs are not proof of trafficking, and employees should not be expected to investigate suspected exploitation themselves.
Organizations should pair staff awareness training with clear internal protocols that explain who employees should contact, how concerns should be documented, when emergency services or specialized reporting channels should be used, and how to avoid actions that could increase risk to a potential victim.

Recognizing and responding to human trafficking and modern slavery
Human trafficking can involve sexual exploitation, forced labor, or both. Possible indicators vary by context and should be considered together rather than treated as proof. Staff should follow organizational protocols and avoid confronting a suspected trafficker or attempting to investigate the situation themselves.

Modern-slavery risk can exist in direct employment, contracted labor, recruitment, procurement and supply chains. Training works best when it is connected to policies, escalation procedures, worker protections and management accountability rather than treated as a one-time awareness exercise.

Reporting concerns and building a workplace response plan
A strong workplace response plan should tell employees what to do when they notice a concerning situation. It should identify an internal contact, explain when emergency services or outside reporting channels should be used, address documentation and privacy, and make clear that staff should not attempt to rescue, interrogate or confront people involved.
United States
- Immediate danger: call 911.
- Potential human trafficking: contact the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888, text 233733, use live chat, or submit a report through humantraffickinghotline.org. The Hotline operates 24/7.
- Suspected online child sexual exploitation or trafficking involving a child: use the NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org.
Outside the United States
Use the appropriate local emergency, law-enforcement, labor-inspectorate, trafficking or child-protection route. Stop ALL Rape’s Global Reporting Contacts can help locate country-specific options.
Important: Human-trafficking indicators are not proof. Workplace training should support safe recognition and escalation, not encourage employees to diagnose trafficking or conduct their own investigation.
