The Sunday Times 100 Best Places to Work List 2024: Fostering Diversity & inclusion
Dorchester Collection, known for managing some of the world’s most luxurious hotels, has had the UK properties recognised as one of the Top 10 Best Places to Work by The Sunday Times. This prestigious honour highlights our outstanding workplace environment at Dorchester Collection, London, and our three iconic UK hotels: The Dorchester, 45 Park Lane, and Coworth Park. Our dedication to diversity and inclusion is a key factor in this achievement. By embracing diverse perspectives and creating an inclusive culture, we enrich both our team and the guest experience, making Dorchester Collection an exceptional place to work.
This recognition represents our commitment to our Belong approach. Being a 5* hotel also means providing 5* care for our employees. We believe that being diverse and inclusive is not enough, we go strive to go that step further and ensure everyone belongs. On an employee’s first day with us, our approach of respect and belonging is presented and we like to give people the definition that: Belonging is the experience of being wholly accepted and included by those around you. And this is the environment we have created to be in top ten of The Sunday Times 100 Best Places to Work List 2024
In the UK Equality Act 2010, the government set a list of 9 characteristics that are to be protected absolutely in the workplace. The Dorchester/ 45 Park Lane, in their commitment to belonging have gone above and beyond this, to have 15 protected characteristics, all of which hold the same standing in our 0 tolerance attitude towards discrimination.
We liberate our employees through regular dynamic trainings, internal progression/opportunities and celebrating our various backgrounds so that everyone is on an equal playing field and supported in a unique way, as after all our bespoke services don’t just stop at our guests.
Stay tuned for more blogs where we'll explore different dimensions of success.
We look forward to continuing to share our journey and insights with you!
