Empowering Journeys: Accor's Reveal Talent Program Transforms Aspiring Leaders
Accor has long been dedicated to serving as a social elevator, creating an environment where its team members can advance their careers regardless of their backgrounds, prior work experience or education.
Reflecting our commitment to fostering social mobility within our hotels, we launched in June 2023 an ambitious career development program, Reveal Talent, to ensure equal opportunities by lessening the emphasis on formal diplomas for leadership roles, empowering our team members to flourish professionally based on their skills and potential. Over the course of six to ten months, team members who show the potential for management-level roles or additional responsibilities embark on a transformative journey. They explore various departments, observe different management styles and engage in training opportunities.
The first year of Reveal Talent brought together more than 370 participants, 67% of whom ended their formal education at high school level or below. More than 15% of these participants were promoted. In 2024, we are thrilled to have surpassed our objective of 400 participants by the end of the year, while upcoming recruitments will be completed by the end of the year, for the new cohort that will start the program in January 2025.
