In addition, 51% of the total workforce are women, who occupy 44% of all management positions. In terms of age, in 2022, the percentage of employees over 40 years of age has reached almost 52%, while those between 25 and 40 years of age is 48%, and the percentage of employees under 25 years of age is 12%.

This recognition reflects the clear commitment of NH Hotel Group to its staff and the commitment to diversity as a key factor in developing a network of diverse talents, able to understand the needs of customers, innovate and reflect society in today's business world. Therefore, it is a fundamental pillar of the company's corporate culture, based on diversity, equality and inclusion.

All these advances have made NH Hotel Group a benchmark in the sector in terms of diversity.  The recognition by Bloomberg GEI over the last four years shows that continuing with a long-term project of real management of employee diversity in all its aspects and supporting their professional development within the Group is a clear priority for the company.
