stories

Artisans are the heart and soul of Beachcomber. These passionate individuals show love for their work, belief in our values, and an understanding that service, is the art of creating happiness and sharing the beauty of our island with the guests of our hotel.

Artisans embody, and communicate our values and commitments to our guests every day, and we make it our mission to ensure their continued success and career development within our Group. We empower them and offer them the opportunity to do the work they love in a supportive environment.

We invite you to take a moment to listen to the stories of some of these committed individuals. Long-standing members of the Beachcomber family, we’re delighted to showcase their achievements, stories and love for their work in the videos below.

Listening to our
artisan

We believe that the first step towards a healthy workspace is communication. That is why we created the “Forum Cozer Artizans” and “Lavwa Artizan Beachcomber”, exchange platforms which give our Artisans the opportunity to freely voice their opinions on their work environment.

Cozer Artizans

The Cozer Artizans forum is made up of elected Artisans and is chaired by the P&C Manager. The forum meets on a regular basis to discuss team motivation, innovation, staff wellbeing, and other work related matters.

Lavwa Artizan Beachcomber

Lavwa Artizan Beachcomber offers our Artisans the opportunity to evaluate the company’s annual performance in regards to its engagement, leadership, strategy and organisation.

Working with
the community

Beachcomber aims to bring a positive impact to communities in which our hotels are found.

As part of our commitment to sustainable development, our numerous CSR projects help communities by offering training and employment opportunities to vulnerable youth, promoting small entrepreneurs, education, and more. You can view a selection of our current projects below.

1

Projets Employabilité Jeunes (PEJ)

The PEJ project trains young job seekers in the academic and social skills necessary for a healthy personal and professional life. Through the programme, these youth are trained for jobs in various departments of the hospitality industry, such as room service, maintenance, the kitchen, and more.

Beautiful Local Hands

The Beautiful Hands programme promotes the work of local craftsmen and traditional Mauritian crafts in the boutiques and hotels on the island.

Duke of Edinburgh Award

The Duke of Edinburgh Awards is a collaboration between the FED and the Ministry of Youth aimed at boys and girls aged 14-24. The programme helps them develop new skills by making them regularly participate in community service activities as well as sports. With the assistance of Beachcomber, Artisans, who are part of the FED member committee, help recruit, support, and encourage young people in their village to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

Regional Committees for La Fondation Espoir et Développement (FED)

Each of our business units is part of a regional committee of the FED. Through these committees, we are able to bring about change through numerous social projects such as the following:

Le Victoria Beachcomber and Pointe aux Piments Government School collaborate to fight absenteeism of pupils from vulnerable backgrounds and provide them with academic support.
Le Trou-aux-Biches Beachcomber collaborates with Ecole Notre Dame de Fatima, a school which offers non-formal education to out-of-school youths. Artisans of the hotel provide training in hospitality skills to the pupils who also come for short educational visits and placements at the hotel.
Artisans of Shandrani Beachcomber organize introduction sessions to Information Technology in the villages of the South-East in collaboration with the IT Caravan of the National Computer Board.
An Artisan of Head Office who is also responsible of scouts groups in Curepipe has set up a roving library for the scouts. Freshly retired Beachcomber employees have also contributed to the project by sorting the books.
