With New Zealand and Australia on the cusp of potentially reopening to the world and in preparation for the tourism rebound, hotel chain Accor has launched a new hiring programme.
Coined Work Your Way, the programme was designed to entice people to its workforce to enrich the tourism industry's future.
Accor is anticipating that over the coming months, it will need to bolster its current workforce of 18,000 staff across Australia and New Zealand by up to 15 percent as lockdowns end and borders reopen.
Accor's Work Your Way programme changes recruitment in the tourism sector through:
Same day hire: Accor has introduced a new same-day hire process for frontline roles, such as food and beverage attendants, receptionists and housekeepers, to simplify and fast-track the hiring process. Essentially, a candidate could walk or phone in, get hired and start working all on the same day.
Personalised benefits: Team member benefits have been boosted, with each hotel now offering a selection of additional perks personalised by their location and team preference.
Open pathways to travel and work around the Pacific: Future and current team members now have greater opportunities than ever before to work and travel their way around Accor sites in the Pacific.
Advanced career development: Accor's industry-leading training academy supports every team member's career development with easily accessible qualifications, practical skills and leadership programmes.
Flexible working for all: Accor said it believes every from should have flexibility, so it has implemented a new policy to ensure greater flexibility for all employees.
Accor is recruiting for over 1,200 new career opportunities at most of its Australia and New Zealand hotels.
