Employer of Choice

Our People

Hospitality can be demanding, but we believe it’s worth it when you feel supported. We back our team by creating a work environment that promotes their well-being, development, and recognition.

We prioritise the mental, physical, and emotional health of our employees through a variety of programs and services.

Staff wellbeing

 

Looking after our guests begins with looking after one another. Hospitality can be demanding, so we’ve created a workplace where people feel supported, valued and encouraged to thrive.

From health and wellness initiatives and onsite support to counselling and employee wellbeing programmes, we invest in creating an environment where our team can do their best work. Because when our people feel cared for, they’re able to extend that same care to every guest they welcome.

Diversity and inclusion

 

At Oude Werf, diversity isn’t a policy. It’s a reflection of the people we work with, the guests we welcome and the community we’re proud to be part of.

We’re committed to creating a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported and able to be themselves. Different perspectives make us stronger, and by embracing what makes each of us unique, we continue to build a culture of belonging, care and genuine hospitality.

Learning and development

 

Great hospitality is never standing still. We encourage our team to keep learning, building new skills and growing their careers through hands-on experience, mentoring, leadership development and ongoing training.

Whether someone is joining the industry for the first time or taking the next step in their career, we believe investing in our people is one of the most meaningful investments we can make. Because when our people grow, so does the experience we create for every guest.
