Accor has taken home the prestigious Wagestream 'Employer of Choice Award' in hospitality at the 2022 Australian HR Awards by providing teams with growth possibilities, a culture of inclusion, and offering skills development opportunities and open pathways to travel and work around the globe.
The accolade recognises organisations that create a fulfilling and healthy work environment, which means they must be an employer that provides outstanding initiatives such as career paths, suitable learning and advancement opportunities, and appropriately acknowledges a job well done. The winner is also honoured for retaining and attracting team members and providing benefits such as motivation, work-life balance, career opportunities, flexibility and meaningful work, and remuneration.

"This award reinforces that we have a committed and caring team who are passionate about supporting and developing people and creating career pathways."
As the travel industry moves into an era of transformation and growth, it is an exciting time to work in hospitality with many opportunities to grow, learn and develop.
With many initiatives that create incredible opportunities for career advancement, Accor recognises that greater flexibility in the workplace fosters a fulfilling and inclusive team member experience.
"Our teams bring diversity, experiences and stories to our culture, which makes Accor a community for all to excel. Our people are integral to our success and growth, and I could not be prouder of them."

Accor also has personalised perks with a selection of additional perks, including travel allowances, birthday leave and sabbaticals.
