WORKING AT LEFAY
The attitudes and skills of our staff directly influence the excellence of the service we are committed to offering our guests every day. Lefay training develops along three paths:
– Introduction: once you enter the Lefay world, you will attend a 2-day training course to dive into Lefay’s values and to become familiar with the working environment and procedures and with the standards of the department in question.
– Technical-professional training courses: during the year you will take part to specific training sessions (e.g. foreign languages and Guests’ relationship courses, classes dedicated to the use of software and programmes…) to develop or to improve the specific technical skills required by the role.
– Management Courses: if you are selected to be an HOD, you will follow a specific training path to develop the management skills and compulsory levels of competence required to be successful in your leading role.
In compliance with the Company’s values, Lefay deems it is necessary to give priority to its internal HRs as far as their professional growth is concerned. That’s why, any time a new position becomes vacant inside our Resort, and before starting an outside selection process, the HR management runs a deep analysis of the Staff already working in a department, in order to sort out the ones who, potentially and by means of a promotion, may fill the vacancy.
Lefay applies all its HRs the current Italian Employment Agreement for Tourism Operators; levels may depend on the position covered in the Company, while a fixed-term or open–ended contract definition may depend on the features and specific needs of the single role. Every prescription of the contract (holidays, shifts…) is managed in a clear way by the HR Department and can be checked by any member of the Staff at any time.
All members of the Resorts’ Staff will be offered accommodation for free within a dedicated Residence in recently built and very comfortable lodging with Wi-Fi connection. Those who do not need accommodation will, alternatively, enjoy an additional monthly benefit added to their salary according to the place of residence.
Staff will enjoy free and limitless access to a specific, reserved restaurant. Managed directly by Lefay’s Vital Gourmet Staff, it provides breakfast, lunch, dinner, and afternoon snacks for those working on shifts, to ensure that all Staff members the restaurant facilities in compliance with their working hours and the needs of their own department.
For the Corporate Office Staff, Ticket Restaurants are provided.
Lefay offers a series of acknowledgements to the Staff:
– With the “Employee of the Month” award, Lefay rewards and stimulates all Staff able to go beyond the Guests’ expectations or show deep commitment in their daily activity.
– Additional economic prizes for the best performances: these can be provided following an individual evaluation carried out each year by managers or, for HODs, when target goals are achieved.
– Incentive bonus: dedicated prizes are provided for some specific departments according to the Team’s objectives.
Highly preferential rates are provided for stays and Day Spas in the Resorts of the Collection and for the purchase of Lefay SPA and Lefay Vital Gourmet products.
Every Staff member will enjoy the holidays foreseen by the Employment Agreement applied during the Resorts season’s closing (that varies according to the destination) and during the year based on his choice and needs (excluding high season periods).
Every Staff member will be given, when starting the employment with Lefay, a set of uniforms specifically designed for the department in question. The laundry and ironing service for these uniforms is offered by Lefay.
