AccorHotels celebrates International Women’s Day
To celebrate International Women’s Day 2016 on March 8, AccorHotels teams across the globe joined together to strike a pose and show their support for women in the workplace.
International Women’s Day celebrates the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women on a global scale. International Women’s Day is for all defenders of gender equality and as a member of the UN’s HeForShe movement, AccorHotels has claimed it is committed to changing mentalities in the hospitality sector to promote women’s empowerment.
AccorHotels is one of just ten companies selected by UN Women as one of the champion corporations of the HeForShe – IMPACT 10x10x10 pilot initiative, thanks to the group’s commitment to gender parity. The company offers various platforms for women to put themselves forward and achieve their leadership ambitions.
