Diversity and gender equality
The hotel industry is characterised by diversity – both in terms of nationality and age groups. Pandox’s employees should reflect the diversity that exists among the guests.
The majority of Pandox’s employees work at the hotels in Operator Activities. The hotel industry is characterised by diversity – both in terms of nationality and age groups. It is important for Pandox’s employees to reflect the diversity that exists among the guests.
In 2022 a diversity and inclusion workshop was held with representatives from the executive management team and key individuals from Pandox-operated hotels. The purpose was to create an understanding of the fundamentals of diversity and inclusion, and to agree at a strategic level on a vision and ambition and on the reasons for Pandox’s efforts in these areas. The next step is to hold a similar workshop, this time with general managers and employees who belong to minority groups within the organisation. This will ensure that relevant perspectives are included, so that it will be possible to produce a long-term strategy next year containing clear goals and activities.
More women in senior roles
Pandox’s ambition is for both genders to be represented in the recruitment process for senior roles.
The total percentage of female general managers at Pandox-operated hotels was 27 (21) percent at the end of 2022. The increase is due to the recruitment of an additional female general manager.
However, the percentage of women in Pandox’s executive management team reduced to 30 (40) percent with the resignation of Pandox’s Senior Vice President, General Counsel, as the replacement will not be part of the executive management team.
