【重大新闻】雅高酒店集团宣布架构重组：大中华区从亚太区分离出来，四位集团高管即将离职

雅高酒店集团CEO Sebastien Bazin上周通过内部信宣布，雅高将进行结构调整，其中包括四名高管离开。按照重组计划：雅高集团将划分成8个地区枢纽，八大区统一归属到Bazin领导的中央办公室管辖。欧洲地区将被划分成南欧和北欧两个区，亚太地区将被划分成东南亚、大中华和太平洋区（包括澳大利亚和新西兰）。此次架构重组计划将于10月1日正式生效，届时雅高的原欧洲区CEO Franck Gervais、原亚太区CEO Michael Issenberg、原餐饮及生活方式CEO CEO Amir Nahaï、原“新业务部”CEO Thibault Viort，四位高管将离职。上个月雅高宣布了今年第二季度财报，上半年净亏损超过15亿欧元，雅高当时就考虑裁员1000人并出售巴黎总部大楼。

A corporate reorganization at Accor pushes some power away from corporate headquarters and leaves the Paris-based hotel company without four of its top executives, according to an internal memo sent this week by the company’s CEO Sebastien Bazin.

The restructuring calls for eight geographic hubs around the world while maintaining a central office led by Bazin.

The corporate overhaul at Accor, owner of brands like Sofitel and Fairmont, comes as the global hospitality industry grapples with how to adapt business models during the worst year for travel due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“A key principle has guided our organizational choices: always focus on the Group, its long-term future, its development, its strengths and its ambition,” Bazin wrote in his memo to Accor employees. “This principle was essential to finding fair and honest answers to simple questions: what are our weaknesses and how can we remedy them?”

Bazin did not indicate in the memo if the restructuring was tied to a previously announced $235 million cost savings plan. That initiative entails eliminating 1,000 jobs and a potential sale of Accor’s $430 million Paris headquarters.

Accor’s priorities going forward are “focus, simplify, and expand,” Bazin wrote.

The focus element calls for close proximity to owners and clients and is tethered to a new office model where eight geographic hubs around the world will replace the current five-region structure.

The European region will be split into Southern European and Northern European hubs. The Asian-Pacific region will be spread across new hubs for Southeast Asia, Greater China, and the Pacific, which includes Australia and New Zealand.

The restructuring, effective Oct. 1, also calls for the departures of Accor Europe CEO Franck Gervais, Asia-Pacific CEO Michael Issenberg, Food & Beverage and Lifestyle CEO Amir Nahaï, and CEO of New Business Thibault Viort.
