Celebrating Juneteenth in the Workplace! As HR consultants committed to fostering Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), we encourage employers to celebrate Juneteenth meaningfully. Here are some ways to honor this important day: Educate Your Team: Share the history and significance of Juneteenth. Host workshops or webinars to foster understanding and awareness. Update Policies and Handbooks: Ensure your workplace policies and employee handbooks include inclusive language and reflect your commitment to DEI. DEI Initiatives: Strengthen your DEI efforts by implementing programs that support marginalized communities and promote equal opportunities. Celebrate in the Office: Organize events such as cultural lunches, guest speakers, or team discussions to celebrate and learn from each other. By recognizing Juneteenth, we can promote a more inclusive and equitable workplace for all. 🌍✊🏽 #Juneteenth #DEI #InclusiveWorkplace #HRConsultants #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #WorkplaceCulture

June is known as the Pride month around the world. We asked 2 questions to our HR manager, Maud L., about LGBTQIA+ thematic. 🌈 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐚 & @𝐢𝐡𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐬&𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡? One of the three major promises that IHG makes to its employees is "Room to Belong". This concretely means that IHG, as an employer, supports all its employees in various aspects of their lives, regardless of their differences, because it is crucial for us that everyone feels included and valued in their professional lives. Therefore, it is only natural that Crowne Plaza Brussels Airport is involved in supporting LGBTQIA+ rights during the month of June (and all the year long), as we believe that a diverse and inclusive culture allows the integration of varied perspectives.

In a daily life in our hotel, as coworker LGBTQIA+, you feel accepted and respected for your identity without fear of discrimination or harassment; you participate in team activities where your identity is respected rather than being a source of curiosity or exclusion and you feel comfortable to speak openly about your personal life without altering details to conceal your identity. Good to know also : all our job positions are open to X and each year. In June, we participate to Pride Month to raise awareness and foster inclusion within our staff. Throughout the month, we're highlighting the subject in our daily news and sharing key dates related to the LGBTQIA+ cause. On top, we are going to organize a workshop on inclusion to raise awareness among participants of the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ people and to further promote an inclusive and respectful work environment. 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 #GoFurtherTogether #allies #hospitality #interview #ExperienceIHG

We’re all about making events inclusive, aren’t we? It’s not just a trend; it’s a commitment to truly understanding our audience. Lately, it seems like everyone’s jumping on the inclusivity bandwagon, ticking boxes like there’s no tomorrow. But let’s not just check boxes. Let’s dive deep into what inclusion really means. Our CEO Mahoganey Jones, has been advocating for diversity and inclusion in events for ages. And here’s what she’s learned: real inclusivity starts with listening. I mean, really listening to our audience. It’s about crafting experiences that truly connect with them – meeting them where they are, speaking their language, and offering events they actually want to attend. It’s about building a community where everyone feels they belong. So, here’s the deal: ✅ Put your attendees first when designing your event. They’re the secret sauce to success.   ✅ Try to see things from their perspective. Step into their shoes and understand their world.   ✅ Don’t just assume – involve your attendees. Ask them, chat with them, make them part of the process. Sure, it’s easy to follow the crowd. But let’s challenge ourselves to do better. Let’s make understanding our attendees a top priority.   #EventProfs#Inclusion

As we celebrate National Inclusion Week together, I have been reflecting on the vital role hospitality businesses play, not just in serving customers, but in truly shaping the lives of their brilliantly diverse team members and the communities they are part of. I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced such dedicated support in my own inclusion journey, and it has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career to help support the journeys of others. In an industry as dynamic and people focused as hospitality, inclusion is not just a value it is a necessity. From the kitchen to the front of house, our teams are formed from individuals from a vast range of backgrounds, each contributing unique perspectives, skills, and experiences. It is this diversity is what fuels our creativity, drives our success, and makes our workplaces vibrant, resilient, and truly special. At their best, hospitality businesses are a force for good providing opportunities for personal growth, fostering a sense of belonging, and offering career paths to those who might otherwise historically not even have been considered. Whether it is supporting local initiatives, mentoring young talent, or creating safe and inclusive environments for every team member, the impact of a diverse team extends far beyond the walls of our establishments. As we continue to evolve as an industry, embracing inclusion will not only shape our future but enrich the communities we serve. Together, let us keep moving forward, ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table. #NationalInclusionWeek #InclusionMatters #HospitalityIndustry #DiversityAndInclusion #CommunityImpact
