When Sunrise Attitude hotel became a certified Made in Moris hotel, it felt like the perfect occasion to launch our first talk series

We chatted about the 5 ways in which the Mauritian hospitality industry supports the local economy. Our morning talk highlighted Mauritian artists and craftspeople, as well as a local and circular sourcing strategy. Mauritius is full of local talent and resources that deserve to be highlighted!

Two years ago, Attitude created the Equality Committee. Its aim was to put in place strong, tangible actions, such as extending paternity leave, gender-neutral job offers and adding baby changing rooms in the men’s toilets (as well as women’s toilets) in our hotels.

Today, these facts remain:
- women are still largely under-represented in positions of power (economic and political);
- the gender pay gap persists: in 2021, the salary gap between men and women is 19% for equal jobs;
- in our homes, women do more than 3/4of the domestic work .

So, how can we imagine an egalitarian work environment in such an unequal private setting?

The employment crisis, the Great Quit, quiet quitting, the brain drain... the subject is everywhere. So what are we doing? Is it real? Do young people really not want to work anymore?
So yes, work is no longer (as) central to our lives. Quite the contrary. Graduates are boycotting the #CAC40 companies because excessive growth pollutes. Employees want meaning, impact, confidence and flexibility. We want the human element: "something that looks like us"

To discuss these points, we have given the floor to nine specialists, who are professionals in recruitment, employment, work or tourism!

Three French entrepreneurs, with great success stories, and their Mauritian counterparts, will lead an exciting talk about responsible entrepreneurship.
