At Aldemar, we are more than just a business. We are a family!

Diversity is at the core of our Vision, Mission, and Values throughout our value chain, from team members and suppliers to the community and our guests.

We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming working environment with a culture driven by our team members’ unique viewpoints and diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Diversity & Inclusion in our own workplace

Travelling gives people of different nationalities and backgrounds the opportunity to connect and learn from different cultures. Equally, we can elevate our collective understanding and appreciation for each other at workplace. As the central transformative promise of the United Nations through the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which is “Leave no one behind”, Aldemar Resorts includes group of people of different genders, ages, races and academic background.

We’re taking action across our workplace

- Gender: 51% women and 49% men
- Race: 96% Greeks and 4% others (Albanians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Ukrainians)
- Academic background: team members of different educational backgrounds (primary education, higher education, etc.).

Let’s take a deeper look at the benefits of Diversity & Inclusion in the Hospitality industry

Diversity and inclusion isn’t just ethical and moral exercise. The powerful benefits that diversity brings the sector, include:

Talent

Diversity creates a workforce full of different skills, talents, and customs. This enables us to create a multi-functional team of outstanding employees who can supercharge company performance. Even better, when you attract a diverse range of talent and ages, you make the workplace more interesting, engaging, and fun to be in – increasing employee engagement and retention.

Competitive advantage

A workforce brimming with diverse cultures, insights, and experiences is a workforce generating new ideas, different thinking, and innovative solutions. Accessing this untapped workforce gives you a competitive advantage as well as a better understanding of your customers.

Productivity

According to CIPHR, diverse teams perform better and faster – making decisions 60% quicker and fueling productivity. And we can all do with extra time in our business.

Recruitment

Businesses embracing diversity and inclusion gain immediate access to a larger pool of talent, which makes recruiting easier and quicker. Plus, with candidates increasingly attracted to companies whose values mirror their own, inclusive employers are winning top talent without entering into salary wars.

Women Empowerment

Women faced many challenges through the years. Gender is at the heart of our strategy for achieving equity in our policies and practices, our employee experience, talent recruitment and selection, and representation and retention. We’re taking the initiative by proceeding our efforts on women in leadership, equal pay and the gender pay gap.
