At the Galle Face Hotel this initiative was taken in order to honour the lives, grit and determination of women, who work tirelessly to get the hotel into order and the hotel isactively working towards employing more female team members as part of their culture of equal opportunities and a great place to work.
“The rising tide of women in positions of influence has altered the landscape at all levels in the business sector today.
There has been an increase in the number of women who have played influential roles in our society and as we celebrated Women's Day, we took this as an opportunity to appreciate the remarkable contribution that our fellow colleagues have been making in order to get the hotel back to its former glory,” said Ms. Mahika Chandrasena – Director Marketing Communications, The Galle Face Hotel.
