How does your workplace embrace equality?

Equality is about ensuring that every individual has an equal opportunity to make the most of their lives and talents. We work with different individuals from all over the country in hospitality industry. Equality is not just about treating everyone the same, but rather about addressing systemic barriers that prevent certain groups from accessing opportunities and achieving their full potential. By actively working to create a more inclusive and diverse workplace, you can help to break down those barriers and ensure that all individuals have the chance to succeed.

As a woman, how do you make sure that you embrace equality? When you are the decision maker how do you make sure you are not gender biased?

We must join hands to change the never-ending discrimination against gender minorities and shape a better work culture. Gender equality in the workplace is not a zero-sum game but a collective effort. And we believe, together, we can achieve this with a bit of support and sensibility.

We as an organization embrace equality on following grounds.

· Creating a Safe and Healthy Work Environment

· Enhance Business and Company Culture

· Create a Discrimination-Free Company Culture

· Emphasize on Work-life Balance

· Saying NO to Gender Pay Gap

· Take Strict Action Against Gender-Based Harassment

· Provide Equal Learning and Development Opportunities

Do you believe that gender inclusive policies are justified with an increasing number of women in the industry while still not being a 50% strength or close?

Gender diversity is not only a matter of social justice but also has significant economic benefits, including increased innovation, better decision-making, and improved financial performance. Equity leads to equality. Gender equality means that women and men enjoy the same status and have equal opportunity to realize their full human rights and potential to contribute to national, political, economic, social and cultural development, and to benefit from the results. We at our organization believe in embracing gender diversity by following practices.

· Widen Talent Pool

· Multiple Perspectives

· Enhanced Collaboration

· Improve Staff Retention

· Improve Your Understanding of Customer Needs
