    As the world reopens, travel is getting a little easier. The secret to a seamless trip is extra planning. Be sure to check your country's regulations. Here's the status of our destinations:

     

    Mauritius

    Great news! Mauritius is fully open! We compiled the most frequently asked questions below. We also invite you to consult the official Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority website for the latest updates and more detailed information: https://mauritiusnow.com

    La Reunion

    Social distancing is recommended but is no longer mandatory. Masks are not required indoors and outdoors, including in transportation (even if it is still recommended). To visit Reunion Island, it is compulsory for unvaccinated people to present a Covid-19 test (PCR test less than 72 hours or Antigen test less than 48 hours). Vaccinated travellers do not need to present any test upon departure. Since 14 May, ‘reasonable excuses’ are not required for unvaccinated travellers (however a negative Covid test is still compulsory).

    China

    Over in China, the doors to our resorts and retreats are open to domestic travellers only, as borders remain closed for now. A health QR code is required upon check-in. Local travellers from high and middle-risk areas should check in with their regional's regulations.

    Maldives

    The Maldives' one island=one resort has made it an alluring destination since day 1.

    You are no longer required to present a PCR negative test result upon arrival to the Maldives. This applies to both vaccinated and non-vaccinated travellers. Wearing a face mask is no longer mandatory, except at health facilities.

    You must fill out an online Traveller Health Declaration (https://imuga.immigration.gov.mv/) within 48h of your departure to and from the Maldives.

    If you are coming from another resort, island or boat, you are no longer required to do a PCR test prior to your arrival at LUX* South Ari Atoll.

    As part of the Collective Care Program, all Team Members maintain protective measures, and public facilities are sanitized frequently to keep you, our Team Members, and our communities safe.

    COVID-19 insurance: The Maldives offers a COVID-19 insurance which travellers can purchase prior to their arrival. It covers medical expenses, isolation and transportation costs.

LUX* RESORTS & HOTELS RECONNU COMME UNE ENTREPRISE OU IL FAIT BON TRAVAILLER LORS DE LA PREMIÈRE ÉDITION DU PALMARÈS DE L’INSTITUT « GREAT PLACE TO WORK »

Le groupe hôtelier, membre du groupe IBL, s’est distingué sur 21 entreprises, car LUX* Resorts & Hotels s’est vu décerner la première place lors de cette première édition du Palmarès par l’institut « Great Place to Work » qui s’est tenu le vendredi 17 novembre au Meridien Pointe aux Piments. Elles étaient plus d’une vingtaine d’entreprises, dans 5 secteurs d’activités différents à s’être prêtées à un exercice d’évaluation reconnaissant les organisations où il fait bon travailler.

Cet audit managérial, entrepris à Maurice par l’institut The Great Place to Work, a interviewé quelque 20 000 employés. Cette distinction est octroyée à des organisations qui satisfont au minimum 70 % des salariés dans le « trust index » et la deuxième partie de l’exercice- le « culture audit » permet aux entreprises de se démarquer d’avantage et se positionner dans le palmarès .

 « Cette première place est avant toute chose une reconnaissance du travail formidable accompli par tous nos collaborateurs à travers toutes nos destinations et nos bureaux de représentation. Cette distinction revient à toutes nos équipes qui, chaque jour, placent elles-mêmes la barre très haut afin de garantir un séjour inoubliable à nos invites. La direction de LUX* Resorts & Hotels se joint à moi pour remercier chaleureusement chacun de nos collaborateurs pour leur engagement à délivrer l’excellence chaque jour en maintenant notre promesse de marque. C’est justement ce travail d’équipe qui est primé aujourd’hui », selon Nicolas Autrey – Chief HR Officer du Groupe.

 21 entreprises se sont prêtées à cet exercice d’évaluation reconnaissant les organisations où le climat de travail est apprécié par les employés. Great Place to Work®, doté d’une expérience longue de 25 années, a développé une expertise pointue dans l'évaluation des entreprises où il fait bon travailler. Actuellement présent dans 50 pays, l'institut collabore chaque année avec plus de 6 000 organisations à travers le monde.

 « Ce qu’il y a de transversal à Maurice, indépendamment de la taille de l’entreprise ou du secteur d’activité : les gens sont très fiers de leur entreprise. Il y a un sentiment d’appartenance fort. Ils ont, cependant, des besoins clairement définis concernant la vision de l’entreprise sur leur avenir et leur employabilité. Les managers devraient, non seulement, faire de Maurice un pays où il fait bon vivre, mais où il fait bon travailler. Et cela est tout à fait possible », a déclaré Pierre Fournier, représentant de Great Place to Work, qui était présent à l’Executive Forum.

À propos de l’étude

Différents outils pour appréhender et évaluer la culture de l’entreprise sont proposés : le questionnaire Trust index©, l'évaluation des pratiques managériales, les groupes d'écoute et les entretiens individuels, ainsi que l'évaluation 360°. The Great Place to Work a interviewé, à Maurice, environ 20 000 employés et cette distinction est décernée à des organisations ayant obtenu au minimum 70% de mentions favorables  

À propos de The Great Place to work

Great Place to Work® est né d’une découverte inattendue. En 1981, une maison d’édition de New York demande à deux journalistes économiques — Robert Levering et Milton Moskowitz — d’écrire un livre intitulé The 100 Best Companies to Work for in America. Malgré leur scepticisme, les deux compères identifient 100 entreprises qui, selon eux, remplissaient les conditions voulues, et c’est ainsi que débute un long périple qui allait mener à plus de 25 années de recherche, de reconnaissance et de construction d’environnements où il fait bon travailler.

Les recherches ont démontré que la clé du fondement-même d’une entreprise où il fait bon travailler ne repose pas sur un ensemble normatif de primes et avantages ou de programmes et de pratiques, mais sur l’instauration de relations de haute qualité sur le lieu de travail — relations qui se caractérisent par la confiance, la fierté et la solidarité. Ceci a ensuite donné lieu à un système d’évaluation pour les entreprises où il fait bon travailler et au label Great Place to Work. Une offre d’accompagnement est proposée aux organisations qui souhaiteraient apporter des « points d’amélioration » à la convivialité de leur environnement professionnel.

L’Institut Great Place To Work en France a été créé en 2002, un an après la création du Great Place to Work Institute Europe, qui s’était vu confier la mission d’établir le palmarès des 100 Best Workplaces Europe par la Commission européenne. La France a ainsi été le quatrième pays européen à développer les services proposés par le Great Place to Work Institute, après l’Italie, le Royaume-Uni, le Danemark et la Suisse.
