CREATING THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT FOR TECH PROFESSIONALS. Ana Doval, Senior Vice President, People and Culture at Amadeus, recalls that their group develops and implements "technologies that improve the travel experience, for everyone and everywhere," in addition to helping the sector "grow, evolve, and transform." According to Doval, the company's "technological success" is due to its staff. "They are our greatest competitive advantage and the center of everything we do. As we continue to push the boundaries of the industry and work at the forefront of technology, we know it is essential to listen to and understand what is important not only to our people but to the sector in general. Only by asking questions and addressing important issues can we create an environment where tech professionals thrive, at all levels and in all functions." In an interview with elEconomista, Doval highlights the company's internal initiatives for workplace flexibility, with a 50% hybrid in-person-digital model, as well as the so-called Workation, which allows employees to work from anywhere in the world for 30 working days per year since 2022, something highly valued in a group with a presence in 190 countries. "Tech professionals demand flexibility, digital nomads abound, and it is beneficial for everyone to find a balance between family and work life." [Amadeus just released an independent global study, "Innovating the Culture of Tomorrow," which highlights what inspires and motivates technology professionals across the sector]. #amadeus #dei #hr #esg #technology #travel

A major challenge in the industry, according to Amadeus' EVP of Commercial for North America Joe Ahmed Youssef, is the fragmentation of technology, data, and distribution channels.
