Cinnamon Hotels grows female leadership within the group View(s):Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts is strengthening its commitment to gender inclusion across its portfolio, with female participation now at 19.5 per cent, marking a healthy trajectory toward its 2030 goal of achieving 30 per cent workforce representation. Women currently hold 22 per cent of leadership positions across the group, the company said in a media release. As a leading hospitality brand, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts aims to challenge these outdated perceptions by making hospitality a sector where women can excel and prosper, reinforcing the message that the industry is a safe, secure, and empowering place for women to work. Ms. Mudiyanselage, the group’s second female Resort Manager, rose to influence from humble beginnings in Welimada.
