Hilton Birmingham Metropole has launched a new industry resource as part of its ‘A Place for Everyone’ initiative, aimed at sharing best practices with businesses looking to improve diversity and inclusivity within their teams.
The digital brochure, which has been designed in an accessible format, provides helpful information, as well as inspirational case studies and advice, so that other businesses can benefit from the experience of the hotel. The accessible design includes an easy-to-read font and font size, with colour choices optimised for readability.
Hilton Birmingham Metropole has partnered with several charities and NGOs over the years, supporting people from a range of backgrounds to secure job opportunities within the hospitality industry, which are mentioned within the brochure.
The resource, released in collaboration with industry body The Power of Events, offers contact details and case studies from organizations that can support other hospitality businesses in adopting inclusive practices. The Power of Events is a not-for-profit company that promotes the events sector and showcases innovative ways to attract more people to careers within the industry.
Hilton Birmingham Metropole has partnered with several charities and NGOs over the years, supporting young people from various backgrounds to secure job opportunities within the hospitality industry. These partnerships are highlighted in the brochure, including initiatives like the Down’s Syndrome Association’s WorkFit program, Aurora Foxes training college, and Newlands Bishop Farm in Solihull, which helps individuals with learning disabilities and mental health conditions develop skills through work-based learning.
Aligned with Hilton’s ESG strategy, Travel with Purpose, and its goal to create five million learning and career growth opportunities, ‘A Place for Everyone’ aims to help provide both events and hospitality placements as well as permanent roles for individuals from diverse backgrounds. The initiative is designed as a ‘sharing’ campaign, encouraging other hotels and venues to adopt similar actions and collaborate with businesses already pursuing successful inclusivity approaches.
Hilton Birmingham Metropole, which completed a multi-million-pound refurbishment in 2022, sees the initiative as an opportunity to build a truly inclusive workplace in which all Team Members can thrive, regardless of background, ambition, or role.
