Thursday 09 October 2014

Caterer.com has recognised Rezidor, the group behind Radisson Blu, as the best employer in hospitality in the UK for the second time in three years.

The result was announced at The Best Employer in Hospitality Awards ceremony, held in London last week.

The awards are based on feedback from staff. To be considered, employees must complete an anonymous survey which is then analysed externally. Key feedback for Rezidor included:

• Overall employee engagement score of 85%
• 93% of employees care about the future of our company
• 91% of team members feel that working for Rezidor makes them do the best they can
• 87% of our staff members are proud to work for Rezidor

Richard Moore, Area Vice President, UK and Ireland said: "I'm extremely proud of this award win! It's all the more meaningful knowing it's based on positive sentiment from a significant number of our team members here in the UK. Developing Talent is a core pillar within our 4D strategy and in recognising that our people are the one area where we can truly differentiate ourselves from our competitors; it's extremely important to be positioned as an employer of choice within the industry and with this recognition, I feel confident we're on the right track" says 

Rezidor scooped top prize in the large group hotel employer category, beating off tough competition from other hotel groups including Q Hotels. This is the second time the group has taken the prestigious award, having also accepted the honour in 2011, beating Hilton Worldwide and Macdonald Hotels in the process.
