Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort & Spa recently conducted at the hotel a job fair exclusively for people with disabilities. The main objective of the job fair was to interview candidates who are differently abled and give them an opportunity to join the Shangri-La family.

Fourteen candidates from the community attended and had discussions with the heads of various departments in order to get a clear understanding of the opportunities available in hospitality for those who are differently abled.

Shangri-La actively engages with communities in which it operates in order to enhance the people’s quality of life. One of its CSR policies makes it mandatory for the properties to hire differently abled colleagues up to 2% of the total staff.

Iain McCormack, General Manager of Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort & Spa commented: “We believe that giving equal opportunities actively contributes to the development of individuals with disabilities as well as the communities in which we operate.”
