Like many other organisations, Hotelplan UK has moved in recent years to unite its HR and sustainability strategies, all in the pursuit of aligning people, planet, and profit.
The group behind travel brands including Explore Worldwide, Inghams, Inntravel, and Santa’s Lapland, has introduced a huge range of measures to embed sustainability within its processes, teams, and even its perks.
Nicky Lyle, Group HR Director at Hotelplan, joins the HR Grapevine podcast to discuss some key takeaways from its recent ‘People & Planet’ report, and to talk about bringing sustainability and HR together at the heart of her company’s strategy.
She reveals the strategies and policies that have helped her team to reduce emissions, from sustainability training and embedding champions across departments, to unique benefits such as a low-carbon travel policy where staff can earn extra paid leave by avoiding flying.
