My career with the PVCPTeam
I began my career in the hotel sector in Belgium and then in Andorra. I knew the Group by reputation, and its values appealed to me, particularly its CSR commitments to responsible tourism. I was recruited by Pierre & Vacances in 2021 to work at the Cala Blanes residence on the island of Menorca, as an assistant receptionist. I’d been aiming to become a hotel manager for several years, but I didn’t make my ambitions known straight away. I wanted to get to know the company and show what I was capable of. After my first summer season, I was offered the position of reception manager, then the position of site manager became available and in March 2022 I became manager. This rapid progression has always been accompanied by training that has given me the security and ability to take on this responsibility.
Developing talent to improve the loyalty of our seasonal workers!
When I started here as a receptionist, I saw how the hotel worked at every level. I’m aware that we form a very important operational chain: the work of each and every one of us makes this site a success. So I’m very careful to create a positive atmosphere and to motivate and respect my teams. It’s important to retain the loyalty of our seasonal workers: 90% of them will be returning this summer, which is a real source of pride! And it’s also important because our customers feel this cohesion.
Having received a lot of support to take up my post here, I’m now doing my bit to explain and train. I’d love it if, in a few years’ time, the person in front of me were to take my place – I’m not afraid of that!
To me, “getting back to basics” means… ?
Walking around the island listening to the Rolling Stones!
“We are developing a programme in our villages called Happy Family Makers, which aims to further improve service quality by training our staff. I spend a lot of time on it, it’s important.”
“Then I was asked to be an ambassador for the Group Foundation. I’d always wanted to be involved with an association, and now it was possible to do so in a corporate context.”
“I’m totally committed to my work, but I have the freedom to disconnect completely, and I can do so because I work with my teams and management in a framework of trust.”
“It’s a real vote of confidence and it’s also very rewarding to be approached internally for a job you’d never thought of.”
“I have a great deal of freedom and autonomy to develop and manage the countries for which I’m responsible. […] What I like here is the team spirit. If you need support, you can count on your colleagues.”
“Although maeva is growing fast, we still operate like a small organisation: everyone knows everyone else, we work in close proximity and flexibly”
“In practical terms, we can’t do anything without our teams. So it’s very important to support your teams by being close to them and on the ground.”
“Bringing joy is what our job is all about. But what we do for these struggling families is very powerful.”
“Today, Mission Handicap is very active and very present in the company and thanks to it I feel protected, supported.”
