Accor's "School for Change": Educating Employees on Global Challenges
Climate change, biodiversity loss, and emerging social challenges are reshaping the world’s ecosystem and impacting the corporate landscape. These changes bring new pressures and expectations for all stakeholders, including companies, candidates, investors, owners, clients, and guests. The hospitality industry, in particular, faces recruitment shortages, demands for low-energy buildings, plastic restrictions, biodiversity loss in tourist areas, and the need to rethink travel practices.
In response, Accor launched the "Accor School for Change" in June 2022. This training program aims to raise awareness and educate employees about global warming and its associated challenges. Partnering with Axa Climate, Accor ensures the content is science-based and comprehensive.
The program includes both mandatory and optional modules, totaling around five hours, covering topics such as the origins of the Earth, biodiversity, climate, and the impacts of global warming on human societies. Accor’s goal is for all head office employees worldwide to complete the training by December 31, 2022.
Accor is proud to upskill its employees globally, empowering each one to become a change leader and contribute to addressing these critical global challenges.
The Hospitality Awards celebrate innovation and excellence and highlight the most creative initiatives in a sector that is constantly and rapidly changing hospitality.
