CEO's Blog - January 2017 - A Strong Start to 2017

Since the International Association of Hotel Executives launched last year we have been working hard to create the best value proposition possible, with a strong portable benefits platform that meets the needs of senior level, international hospitality execs around the world. The core components are now fully in place and, whilst we will certainly continue to add to these over time, based on member’s  feedback, we are making good progress with much more to come.

As a Member of IAHE you have immediate access to:

• Fully portable benefit programmes (that remain with the policyholder whether they move jobs or relocate to a different country) including:
  • Customisable medical plan options – depending on your coverage situation, both primary and supplementary plans are available and you can tailor the most suitable package for your needs. Discount of 15% off normal rates.
  • Term Life Insurance – options range from 1 to 10 years and up to USD$500K coverage without a medical. Coverage is available up to USD$4m and 75 years of age. Discount of 15% off normal premiums.
  • Income protection insurance in the case of illness or injury that pays 60% of your total package after an agreed waiting period. Pays out for up to 5 years, followed by a lump sum payment. Discount of 15% off normal premiums.
  • Retirement savings plan – saving for retirement should be a priority today, regardless of your age. This best in class plan gives 24/7 online access to your account with no charges to change investments or withdraw funds.

• Career Management Centre

On joining, members can elect to register with the CMC as part of a confidential database. The CMC provides long-term assistance and support to its clients and Members, in order to help attract and identify opportunities for the executive placement of senior talent in the hotel industry on a global basis. An integral component is the formulation of a Personal Development Plan (PDP) and we can assist our members in deciding which professional development initiatives might be of assistance to them achieving their career aspirations.

• Partner discounts

IAHE has established a number of partnerships with highly regarded businesses offering products and services to members and their families, at discounted rates, including HotelSwaps, AHLEI, Qantas and Pwc.
