Inclusion
Leadership

Comment from the judges

This entry was an energising read. It is great to see so many initiatives being implemented, and reviewed to support the employee experience. It’s no coincidence that Atlas’ turnover is so low – a brilliant achievement. The area that stuck out most was the approach to Inclusion. You have implemented some powerful initiatives covering many aspects to create an inclusive workforce. Having a Director lead this is also brilliant.
Comment from the judges

Atlas Hotels is really seeing the benefits of its investment in the employee experience and culture. The improvements in metrics such as eNPS, retention and engagement are impressive, and how this correlates to the guest experience shows the investment is paying off for the business. The ‘back to the floor’ programme stood out as a great way for leaders to stay connected to the front line, and visiting every hotel to show appreciation was great to see. Creating collective virtual experiences like the virtual race is a great way to foster a sense of belonging with a workforce that is geographically spread. Finding ways to reduce email traffic and the use of ways to eliminate unconscious bias were also notable.
