Maris Hotels’ Human Resources department received the honorary distinction “HeRa Social Sensitivity HRM 2018” for its sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy, which includes the “jobday45+ Career Day”, an activity aiming to support job candidates over the age of 45.

According to an announcement, one in four employees at Maris Hotels belongs to the 45+ age group.

“The real challenge for every company is to promote the cooperation between generations for the achievement of common goals… At Maris Hotels, we approach all age groups with sensitivity, attention and respect, in order to jointly achieve the best result,” said Human Resources Manager Sofia Tsioutra during the awards ceremony.

To honor its retired employees, as of this year the Maris Hotels provides them with a corporate gift: Three overnight stays in a double room, in the hotel they had worked for.
