💡 "Every expert was a beginner at the start." For Kruno Velican - General Manager, Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Geelong, participating in the Journey to General Manager (J2GM) program has been nothing short of transformative. From connecting the dots in his mental map of the business, to building confidence in making informed decisions, J2GM has empowered him to step into new opportunities with clarity and purpose. Through access to mentors, coaches, and a network of inspiring peers, Kruno discovered a safe space to ask questions, grow, and actively shape his career. At IHG Hotels & Resorts, we’re proud to offer opportunities like J2GM that help our colleagues grow, learn, and achieve their career goals. Interested in growing your career?

Time for a spotlight on the Americas! ✨ IHG Hotels & Resorts presence there began when we opened our first Holiday Inn in Memphis, Tenn. in 1952. Over the past seven decades, an incredible 4,446 hotels have followed across the region—with 1,079 more currently in the pipeline. Today, the Americas stands as our largest region. Of the nine brands IHG has launched or acquired in the last decade, all of them have an existing or planned presence. In October, we opened the first Regent property in the region, Regent Santa Monica Beach. With such a diverse range of properties, including the InterContinental San Antonio Riverwalk in Texas and voco The Tuxon in Arizona, we have stays for everyone and every occasion across the region. Beyond delivering memorable stays for our guests, we work so hard to create a space for our colleagues to flourish, which recently earned us accolades from Great Place To Work US and Fortune.

At IHG, our Employee Resource Groups like DAWN (Disability and Wellbeing Network) play a vital role in fostering inclusion, offering support and giving our colleagues a voice. Last week, DAWN brought a moment of calm and joy to our Windsor HQ with puppy therapy! In partnership with Paws in Work, colleagues were invited to take some time to focus on their mental wellbeing, connect with others and enjoy some cuddles with some adorable puppies. Our ERGs run events like this to remind us how important it is to create an inclusive workplace environment where everyone can feel seen, supported and cared for. #RoomToBelong

Since we launched our Journey to Tomorrow Responsible Business plan, we've always said that we cannot do it alone 🌏. Collaborating with those who stay, work and partner with us is essential to driving sustainable change. Whether it’s working closely with our owners to make changes in their hotels, empowering our guests to make sustainable choices or partnering with those who can help to make a difference; we have to come together to make a real difference. Hear from Catherine Dolton, Chief Sustainability Officer, talk about how we need to create a collaborative ecosystem to make hospitality more sustainable.
