More than 500 UK hotels have now signed up to the Hoteliers’ Charter in a bid to raise the profile of the hospitality industry and promote hospitality as a profession of choice to parents, schools, colleges, universities, and careers influencers.
Over the next 12 months, charter hoteliers, charter “champions”, supporters and its board members will reportedly showcase the opportunities hotels and the hospitality industry has to offer, and it anticipates it will reach over 1000 hotels across the UK.
The Hoteliers’ Charter said businesses who sign up are making a commitment to provide a workplace environment that advocates “respect, fairness, equality, diversity and opportunity”.
The hotels will reportedly place colleagues’ wellness and career development at “the heart” of their operations. Additionally, the hotels signing up for the charter will support industry charities and drive environmentally sustainable businesses.
Home Grown Hotels, Northcote, IHG Hotels and Iconic Luxury Hotels are among the charter hoteliers signed up to the organisation’s 10-point pledge.
Sally Beck FIH MI, general manager of the Royal Lancaster London and founder of the Hoteliers’ Charter, said: “Since its inception, the Hoteliers’ Charter has been working towards a more conscious, caring and collaborative industry to educate, inspire and sustain the next generation of talent.
“To have more than 500 Charter Hotelier’s working to support this goal is brilliant.”
