Trigon Honoured for Diversity

Trigon Hotels have been commended for their commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. The Cork-based hotel group has achieved Investors in Diversity Silver status from  the Irish Centre for Diversity.

To achieve Silver certification, the hotel group's performance at both the Metropole Hotel and the Cork International Hotel was monitored and benchmarked against national organisations.

Investors in Diversity provides a framework that’s built over three levels – Bronze, Silver and Gold - and is designed to guide an organisation towards excellence in the workplace on Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement.

In order to gain Investors in Diversity Silver accreditation, Trigon Hotels undertook an inclusion and diversity survey for all colleagues, collecting the diversity demographics and putting an action plan in place for developments.

Kathleen Linehan, Strategic Director of HR at Trigon Hotels, said: 

“We undertook the commitment to assess the hotel group and work on a programme evaluation to achieve this status. Our people are our greatest asset, and I am pleased to create a diverse, happy environment where the team can grow. To achieve the award, we were benchmarked against other organisations nationally, so I am very proud of our performance. The award also gives us a framework and goal to excel going forward.”
