But if you consider people with disability in your talent pool, then you are more likely to source talent as per the company’s recruitment needs.” — Aradhana Lal, Vice President of Brand, Communications & Sustainability Initiatives, Lemon Tree Hotels. Isn't it fascinating how Lemon Tree Hotels is turning the tables around? In a world where competition for talent is fierce, this esteemed hotel chain stands out by taking on inclusivity as a cornerstone of its business model. This commitment not only enriches social equity but also improves the company's culture, creativity, and bottom line. Aradhana Lal's insight, however, rightly underscores the transformative power of inclusive practices, proving that businesses can greatly thrive when they prioritize people over preconceptions. - #DisabilityInclusion #LemonTreeHotels #AccessibilityMatters #Diversity

What does it mean to truly embrace cultural diversity in hospitality? A few weeks ago, we hosted an event where friends shared their cultural stories. 🌎 It was a beautiful mix of backgrounds, traditions, and experiences that opened our eyes to the richness of diversity. 🤩 However, we noticed that not everyone felt comfortable sharing at first. We knew we had to create a welcoming space. By encouraging dialogue and sharing our own stories, the atmosphere shifted. Soon, laughter filled the room, and connections were formed. This experience reminded us that hospitality goes beyond services, it’s about creating a sense of belonging. By fostering inclusivity, we enrich not only our industry, but also the lives of everyone involved. Let’s continue to celebrate and uplift each other’s cultures! 🌈 xoxo -Alexa and Isa #CulturalDiversity #DiversityAndInclusion #GlobalConnections #CommunityBuilding #Hotel #Hospitality #CEO #Entrepeneur #LosAngeles #DigitalMarketing #MarketingStrategy #Friendship #AleBellaHospitality #AleBella

Schmidt, Leanne Stocks, Stephanie Lopesi, and Rowena Carter. We’ll be tackling hot topics like: - The decline in people wanting to join and stay in the hospitality industry is a critical issue, and it's time to move from conversation to action. What can we do? - Cross-brand collaboration to improve workplace culture- will this ever work? - Addressing industry-wide challenges, including the labour shortage while maintaining employee well-being in luxury hospitality - Embedding strong workplace culture in growing companies - Strategies for talent retention in a competitive market - Balancing commercial success with employee welfare - and if we have time, with the panel I have- we could also possibly solve the worlds problems!

Confession: I couldn’t not watch #BuyingLondon, Netflix’s new ‘documentary’ about selling luxury property to the global super elite. Here’s my take. Despite a very different client base (theirs: oligarchs and celebs; ours: investors, tourists, event planners), some bits did resonate. No, it wasn’t taking my team to literally freeze our butts off in a cryotherapy chamber for an Away Day. Or criss-crossing London in stilettos. One of the more plausible emotions in Buying London is the thrill of the win, landing the deal. We sell #London as the best place to grow an innovative business. Last week’s high-five-worthy wins included a drug discovery company from Turkey, a fintech from Silicon Valley and a software business from Bangalore. And like the Buying London team, our client base is global and rapport matters. That’s why we have people in cities around the world, and our London team speaks Mandarin, German, Spanish, Arabic and many more. The voiceover tells us that people buy London for the lifestyle, culture and heritage. True: #culture is one of the top motivators for visitors. Being a brilliant place to live makes London a magnet for global talent. Images of London beamed around the world are good for tourism. Set-jetting, aka visiting places seen on screen, is powerful. (Just go to Richmond and spot the Ted Lasso fans). But it’s not the gold-plated, sterile city of Buying London that works best. Tourists come for authentic experiences as much as the ‘bucket list’ attractions. They want to get a bagel on Brick Lane and patties in Brixton, to mooch around our markets, picnic in our parks, go to a gig in a pub. The competitiveness is where this show really falls apart. In a desperate attempt to introduce a narrative arc, Buying London pits the agents against each other (cue much stage-managed bitchiness). But selling London is a team sport, not a solo one. We rely on everyone who makes London the best place in the world to invest, visit, study and work. And we sell as a team. Take last week. Our London Convention Bureau team were at IMEX selling London as a destination for big conferences. We went as Team London, presenting a joint offer with venues like ExCeL London and Olympia Events and dozens of hoteliers. Partners help investors to choose London. Worried about relocating your top team? We’ve got immigration experts to help you out with the paperwork. Confused about R&D tax credits? We’ve got a partner for that. London isn’t perfect. A show about super-prime property that doesn’t acknowledge our acute housing crisis feels distasteful. London’s size and its glorious, creative messiness are what make it brilliant. But they can be intimidating for visitors or investors who don’t know the city. Our job is to make it easy to choose and navigate London. Fancy selling real London for a living? We’re #hiring, no botox required. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e6_AHqa
