JAPAN | IHG has launched its 'myBenefits' programme in order to strategically retain its top talent within the sector.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has launched its ‘myBenefits’ programme in Japan – a strategic initiative to enhance its colleague offer and attract the next generation of talent to its hotels.
The introduction of ‘myBenefits’ in Japan builds on the successful launch in Australia and New Zealand in 2021. The programme has been thoughtfully crafted to recognise the changing needs and preferences of the workforce, catering to the needs of our current and future colleagues, and to support colleagues in both their personal and professional lives.
With remarkable growth in the hospitality sector, it has been increasingly vital to retain talented team members while attracting new talent to pursue a career in this dynamic industry where IHG offers unending opportunities with its diverse brands and unique culture.
"We are delighted to announce the launch of ‘myBenefits’ for colleagues in IHG managed hotels in Japan. This wide-reaching new benefits programme will enable them to plot career paths that suit their ambitions, while ensuring they flourish in their roles as they deliver IHG’s True Hospitality for Good to our guests,” said Abhijay Sandilya, CEO of IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan.
Sandilya said the plan to double the IHG estate in Japan and with that growth recognise the need to strengthen our competitiveness when it comes to attracting talent to our hotels.
“By offering great benefits through our ‘myBenefits’ programme, we’re showing potential candidates why they should join our team, stay with us and forge successful careers,” Sandilya added.
“Following its successful launch in Australia and New Zealand in 2021, our move to bring ‘myBenefits’ to Japan extends our commitment to protect and improve our IHG employer brand around the world. Through this, we’re showing how our current hotel colleagues – and those who will join us in the future – can feel valued and thrive as part of our team.”
IHG adopted a comprehensive approach to gain a balanced understanding of what our colleagues need and expect from the organisation. This involved an external benchmarking exercise against a cross section of Japan based companies to identify best practice and emerging trends. These insights were then validated with feedback from 800 colleagues across IHG hotels in Japan on a wide range of key offerings including typical core benefits, career development, leave practices, workplace flexibility, work environment, and leadership.
