THE GOLDEN SPOON!

About 50 people
have over 26 years of service with our family just at Beach Luxury Hotel (not
counting our other hotels) – NINE of whom have been with us for over 40 years!
Why would someone
choose to work for 50% of his or her LIFE with one family !?
Our family’s
CORE philosophy stems from my grandfather’s, late Dinshaw B Avari, life &
upbringing. Born in 1902, studied in the
Petit Orphanage in Bombay, gave tuitions to support his & his siblings
educations, my grandfather was truly a self-made man.
He always taught
my parents & us – “Your father was born with a Silver spoon in his
mouth; and you’ll are born with a ‘golden’ spoon! Never forget your roots – never forget what
it took to give you your current lifestyle & education”.
That has
always been front & center of our upbringing and in our children’s upbringing-
respect, tolerance, loyalty, trust, compassion (to name a few) are the
cornerstone of our relationships with people.
We have learnt that the very Foundations of our Group are our people.
Who will
provide our people with a social & personal safety net if not us? Definitely not our governments! Laws provide for regulatory salaries, end of
service benefits and the like – but if we don’t look after our own people in more
ways, where’s the humanity our grandfather gave & taught us?
… And to answer my initial question above, it’s because I believe our
people have the same level of trust in us that we will look after them when the
time comes.
