【重大新聞】雅高酒店集團宣布架構重組：大中華區從亞太區分離出來，四位集團高管即將離職

雅高酒店集團CEO Sebastien Bazin上周通過內部信宣布，雅高將進行結構調整，其中包括四名高管離開。按照重組計劃：雅高集團將劃分成8個地區樞紐，八大區統一歸屬到Bazin領導的中央辦公室管轄。歐洲地區將被劃分成南歐和北歐兩個區，亞太地區將被劃分成東南亞、大中華和太平洋區（包括澳大利亞和新西蘭）。此次架構重組計劃將于10月1日正式生效，屆時雅高的原歐洲區CEO Franck Gervais、原亞太區CEO Michael Issenberg、原餐飲及生活方式CEO CEO Amir Naha?、原“新業務部”CEO Thibault Viort，四位高管將離職。上個月雅高宣布了今年第二季度財報，上半年凈虧損超過15億歐元，雅高當時就考慮裁員1000人并出售巴黎總部大樓。

A corporate reorganization at Accor pushes some power away from corporate headquarters and leaves the Paris-based hotel company without four of its top executives, according to an internal memo sent this week by the company’s CEO Sebastien Bazin.

The restructuring calls for eight geographic hubs around the world while maintaining a central office led by Bazin.

The corporate overhaul at Accor, owner of brands like Sofitel and Fairmont, comes as the global hospitality industry grapples with how to adapt business models during the worst year for travel due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“A key principle has guided our organizational choices: always focus on the Group, its long-term future, its development, its strengths and its ambition,” Bazin wrote in his memo to Accor employees. “This principle was essential to finding fair and honest answers to simple questions: what are our weaknesses and how can we remedy them?”

Bazin did not indicate in the memo if the restructuring was tied to a previously announced $235 million cost savings plan. That initiative entails eliminating 1,000 jobs and a potential sale of Accor’s $430 million Paris headquarters.

Accor’s priorities going forward are “focus, simplify, and expand,” Bazin wrote.

The focus element calls for close proximity to owners and clients and is tethered to a new office model where eight geographic hubs around the world will replace the current five-region structure.

The European region will be split into Southern European and Northern European hubs. The Asian-Pacific region will be spread across new hubs for Southeast Asia, Greater China, and the Pacific, which includes Australia and New Zealand.

The restructuring, effective Oct. 1, also calls for the departures of Accor Europe CEO Franck Gervais, Asia-Pacific CEO Michael Issenberg, Food & Beverage and Lifestyle CEO Amir Naha?, and CEO of New Business Thibault Viort.
