This prestigious certification underscores the alignment of the company’s human resources practices across its key markets.

In addition to the previously mentioned aspects, the evaluation also considers areas such as Training, Employee Engagement, Ethics & Integrity, Company Values, and Change Management.
Being recognised as a Top Employer Enterprise—an independent and highly rigorous certification—along with expanding our certifications across countries and regions, is a source of immense pride for the company, particularly in an increasingly competitive talent market. This recognition as a top employer brand by Top Employers gives us a distinct competitive edge and reaffirms our unwavering commitment to our teams and workplace excellence, which is crucial in the hospitality sector.
