Purpose
A consistent naming convention for groups on Microsoft Teams and other chat or work channels makes it easy to find the right conversation, identify who is in it, and route information to the correct audience. This page defines the standard naming rules for all Greens group chats and channels.
Hotel-based groups
Hotel-based groups are organized around a single property. Use the hotel's short name (brand abbreviation + airport or city code) followed by a suffix that identifies the audience.
- [Hotel Short Name] - Ops — Includes the hotel team plus the corporate team supporting that hotel (for example, the General Manager, Director of Sales, and the corporate department leads who work with the property). Example: the Hampton Inn LAX group would be named HILAX - Ops.
- [Hotel Short Name] - CORP — Includes the hotel team, the supporting corporate team, and managing principals. Use this group when ownership-level visibility is needed. Example: the Hampton Inn LAX group would be named HILAX - CORP.
Corporate-based groups
Corporate-based groups are organized around a corporate department rather than a single hotel. Use the audience prefix followed by the department name.
- OPS - [Department] — Includes the corporate team for a specific department. Example: the corporate revenue team chat would be named OPS - Revenue.
- CORP - [Department] — Includes the corporate team for a specific department plus managing principals. Example: the corporate revenue team chat with managing principals would be named CORP - Revenue.
Quick reference
- Use Ops when the audience is the working team (hotel and/or corporate staff).
- Use CORP when managing principals need to be included.
- Always use the standardized hotel short name (e.g., HILAX) so groups sort and search predictably.
- Place the prefix or suffix consistently: hotel name first for property groups, audience prefix first for corporate groups.
