Career development is one of the cornerstones of the Club Med employer brand. As a learning-focused organisation, Club Med is taking multiple initiatives to support G.Es & G.Os*, qualified or otherwise, in their career progression.
Loyal to its deep-rooted principles, Club Med fully intends to embrace this approach in order to encourage new talents to join its staff.
As a reference among employers in the high-end tourism sector, Club Med is launching a new recruitment campaign to meet the needs of its seaside and mountain Resorts in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Occupational training, a cornerstone of the Club Med employer brand
As a committed responsible employer, Club Med defines itself as a “learning-focused” company, having understood for many years that helping employees to acquire a certain savoir-faire and soft skills, along with all the necessary competency, only contributes to their sense of fulfilment.
This strengthens the company’s drawing power, enhances performance, encourages loyalty, and increases career prospects for employees.
“Competency enhancement among G.Es & G.Os has always been in Club Med’s very DNA. In a general context of staff shortages in tourism and hospitality, this commitment has become even more important when it comes to attracting new candidates and encouraging employees to stay. Beyond merely recruiting talents, we guide them on their career path while offering them a unique life’s experience”, explains Audrey Bonfillon, Club Med Corporate & Social Policy and Talent Development Director.
The University of Talents, a key component of this ambitious training policy, was created over 15 years ago to diffuse the company culture and continue training all staff throughout their time with Club Med.
This strategic in-house structure aims to boost employees’ sense of fulfilment, whatever their level of qualification, by inspiring them to reveal themselves and grow as they open up to new career prospects.
Delivered in the form of blended learning, video tutorials and onsite training, the training packages adapt to the availability and level of each individual, and also incorporate the usual career progress practices and technological evolutions.
These programmes provide for continuous career development from the moment an employee joins the company.
The University of Talents runs multiple projects throughout the year, including the Institut du Goût by Club Med, aimed at the cuisine and patisserie specialisms.
Another implemented measure, the Academy Weeks, aims to (re)unite and develop experienced teams as well as inviting new talents to undergo training in the Club Med codes of soft skills and savoir -faire.
During these training weeks, Club Med employees play the role of “customers” to experience how it feels and gain a better understanding of client expectations, in order to adjust their stance in line with their specialism.
The most recent Academy Weeks took place at the end of 2021, in the exceptional Club Med Arcs Panorama Resort, where 900 G.Es & G.Os, including 500 new seasonal recruits, gathered over a three week period.
GAINING NEW SKILLS WITH CLUB MED - KEY FIGURES
- In 6 seasons, a chef de partie can become a head chef and take charge of a team of up to 60 people
- 15% of G.Os take on greater responsibility from one season to the next
- 100% of Resort directors and 70% of Resort managers arrived from previous positions within the company
In 2019 - the pre-Covid-19 reference year - in Europe, Africa and the Middle East:
- 700 employees trained for new posts
- 500 G.Os accessed new management roles
- 500 managers enhanced their competency
All examples of the means deployed by Club Med to pursue the company’s commitment to young employees.
And these initiatives are paying off since, this year once again, Club Med is among the favourite potential employers of students and young graduates (study conducted by Harris Interactive, 2021).
Up to 850 G.Es & G.Os, sought this spring and summer, are set to experience a unique working environment To satisfy the expectations of its high-end clientèle, Club Med, in preparation of the spring and summer season, is looking to recruit 850 personalities.
Each will have the soft skills and savoir-faire that reflect the company’s five values: kindness, responsibility, multiculturalism, freedom, and pioneering spirit. - 30% for seaside Resorts - 70% for mountain Resorts Club Med offers more than just expertise. G.Es & G.Os get to live a unique experience, filled with challenges for today that will transform their tomorrow.
Employees also enjoy the privilege of working with multicultural teams and in Resorts located in the most heavenly places.
In keeping with the Club Med spirit, candidates are invited to take part in the Meet up live campaign that will take place simultaneously in Resorts across France at the end of March.
