Every year, the Human Resources Department organizes the “Accor Professions Challenge”, a competition for the Group’s young employees. The candidates, who are selected in regional and national heats between July and December, are divided into two age categories, 19-22 year olds and 23-25 year olds. They are currently either employed in a Group hotel or on a work-study contract. The
finalists, who are assessed by a jury of hotel professionals and human resources managers, have to take part in timed contests in their fields: reception, table service, cooking or bartending.
Evelyne Chabrot, Accor’s Chief Human Resources Officer comments: “The Accor Professions Challenge is an effective way of highlighting our young professionals and showcasing the four flagship hotel professions that they represent. Innovation, motivation and performance are our Group’s fundamental values and they are promoted through this contest, which is an enriching human adventure that incites bonding between our employees.”
76 participants from 30 countries in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and America* took part in this 11th edition of the competition. The Challenge allows the candidates, who work in hotels ranging from the economy to luxury segments, to assess their talents, give their utmost and of course experience intensive moments of sharing.
The day after the grand finale on January 14 at the Lycée des Métiers de l’Hôtellerie Santos Dumont in Saint-Cloud and at the Mercure Paris Centre Tour Eiffel, Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO, Sven Boinet, Group Managing Director, Evelyne Chabrot, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Magali Laurent, International Mobility, Expatriation and Talents Director, awarded prizes to the competition’s eight winners.
