RCH IDEA stands for Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity, Action. IDEA is a company-wide initiative, focusing on the promotion of equity and diversity. IDEA’s overall goal is to help Red Carnation Hotels become a more inclusive employer and encourage a more compassionate workforce. This initiative aids in the fair recruitment and promotion of people from all protected characteristic groups, including ethnicity and sexuality.
IDEA is far more than just a buzzword, it is an ongoing project led by our Co-Chairs: Scott Clinton, Emma Mackey and Trevor Baker-O’Haire. Our eight existing identity circles – including Women, Pride, Culture, Age, and Neurodiverse – meet monthly, both separately and together, to discuss challenges in the workplace and bring forward actionable change.
IDEA Festival is a celebration of diversity, including panel discussions and inspirational talks. This week aims to grow inclusivity circles and get more employees involved, providing more support and improved networking opportunities for members of diverse groups, and a greater understanding of the challenges faced by diverse employees and the barriers that they have overcome.
In celebration of International Women's Day, we spoke to the women of Xigera Safari Lodge about their passions, purposes, and what brings them happiness.
