OA MEA E AVEA MAI LENEI TUSI:

While most hotel groups have broad policies in place to ensure inclusivity and diversity, and despite the fact that women are reported to account for more than 53% of the global hospitality workforce¹, a recent study by C9 Hotelworks found that 90% of general managers in Thai hotels are male.
Topics included the development of career paths to senior leadership roles, support and resources available for women in the hospitality industry, the value of mentoring and education, how to maintain mental wellbeing, and achieving a positive work-life balance.
But why, in the 21st Century, do these figures remain so uneven in the hotel sector and what steps do companies need to take to maximize the potential of their female associates.
