During March, 14 high-potential female leaders graduated from AccorHotels’ 2015 Strategic Leaders Development Program (SLDP) demonstrating our commitment to achieving greater gender diversity in top position. Since the launch of SLDP in 2014, eight AccorHotels female leaders have successfully achieved a General Manager position, and a further five program participants have been promoted to a more senior position. We are edging closer to appointing our first Indigenous female General Manager, and continue to strive toward our goal of having 50 percent female General Manager representation in Australia (currently 37 percent), within the next 18-24 months. The graduation ceremony, held at Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour, was the perfect place for SLDP participants to report back on group projects and creative ideas to further invest in AccorHotels.
