Merging of Island Living and Rogers Hospitality.
In my nearly four years at Domino’s, I have grown significantly, both personally and professionally. I began as a Supervisor in 2021, where I quickly adapted to the fast-paced environment, overseeing shifts, training new team members, and ensuring exceptional customer service. This role taught me the importance of communication, teamwork, and problem-solving during high-pressure times. In 2023, I was promoted to Restaurant Manager, a role in which I took on broader responsibilities, including managing store operations, setting and achieving sales goals, and ensuring compliance with company standards. This position allowed me to further develop my leadership skills, focus on operational efficiency, and work closely with my team to maintain a positive workplace culture.
My time at Domino’s has been a rewarding journey of continuous learning and growth, with each role enhancing my management capabilities and deepening my commitment to quality and service excellence.

Trailblazing
In May 2004, I had the opportunity to experience a training course together with Raoul Maurel conducted by Dr David Freemantle on the famous BUZZ concept – an essential tool for the personalization of all the services that we provide to our guests and making each minute of our guests stay ‘truly authentic moments’. In April 2005, Raoul was appointed as the Buzz Manager and he made the BUZZ become a way of life & a driving force philosophy in our daily tasks & activities, so as to make the difference at all times within the group Our mission was to think outside the box and challenge oneself to come up with creative ideas based on simplicity and elegance. The passion for the BUZZ concept inculcated to me by our Buzz Manager, contributed largely to my success in the Buzz competitions held within the group in mid 2005.
With a strong emphasis on exceptional customer service, our company has set a benchmark in the hospitality industry, and this commitment has fuelled my passion for working with Rogers Hospitality for the past 21 years 4 months.
I take immense pride in being one of the original members of the opening team at Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort, where I continue to thrive and contribute to its success. My career began in the hospitality sector as a Public Relations Officer at Marina Resort & Club, Anse La Raie which was a member of Veranda Resorts by then, and through perseverance, I have cultivated expertise across various roles in Human Resources at Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort, Bel Ombre.
This journey has led me to my current role as a People Operations Specialist. Each position has allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of people management, problem-solving, and fostering a collaborative environment, aligning perfectly with my personal motto: "We rise by lifting others." Highlights of my journey include: Earning the titles of Best VLH Ambassador (2017) and Best Heritage Resorts Ambassador (2018), underscoring my dedication to quality, service, and fostering a positive workplace culture. Actively contributing to the Heritage Resorts Ambassadors Programme, which honed my skills in quality assurance and service excellence. Driving impactful strategies for our internal customers—Our People—while remaining steadfast in my dedication to our shared vision.
As I look to the future, I am eager to further showcase my commitment to enhancing our company's culture, service excellence, and team well-being. My journey exemplifies my belief: "Once a Rogers Ambassador, always a Rogers Ambassador."
May this adventure continue with renewed passion and purpose.

A memorable moment for me was when Rogers Aviation made MUR100m PAT! We rose from the ashes and rebuilt ourselves from scratch after covid and demonstrated our resilience and agility as one united team.

My first memory of Rogers starts in September 2022 when I began my internship in the finance department of Rogers Capital Credit and Financial Services. I was excited but also a little nervous. I was there to learn, and I ended up gaining much more than I expected. Right away, I noticed that the team was short-staffed, so I was given tasks that usually belonged to full-time employees. This pushed me to grow and develop my skills quickly. One of my favourite moments was during the Diwali party. We had to make a quick trip to the warehouse for a product audit because someone from the recovery section was leaving. It was a funny day; we all wore traditional Indian outfits, and the festive atmosphere made everything feel special. Balancing work and celebration created a memorable experience. Celebrating Diwali and Christmas during my internship made me feel like I belonged to a close-knit community. When my last day arrived on December 31, 2022, I felt a mix of sadness and hope, knowing I would return. In November 2023, I joined the Fiduciary team as an Xcelerate graduate, allowing me to learn about different departments. By May, I became a client accountant in the Client Accounting Department, which has been both challenging and rewarding. Looking back, I can say that Rogers has been a big part of my happiness and growth. Each day adds to my sense of peace and success, and I'm excited to continue this journey.
A memorable experience at Rogers: My time in the Xcelerate Program One particularly memorable moment during my time at Rogers was my experience in the Xcelerate Program, especially in the Client Accounting Department. This phase was incredibly engaging and involving, as I dove deep into managing accounts and tackling various challenges. The staff turnover during that time meant that we were often stretched thin, but I was fortunate to have supportive mentors who guided me through the tough days. There were moments of long hours and intense workload, but I embraced the challenges wholeheartedly. My hard work and dedication didn't go unnoticed; I felt appreciated and recognised as a valuable part of the team. Every memory from that time, especially the festivals we celebrated together, made the experience even more special. The camaraderie and joy during these celebrations added a personal touch to our busy workdays, making the challenges worthwhile. Overall, my time in the Xcelerate Program reinforced my commitment to the team and left me with lasting memories.

Every day would feel like a vacation. These were my first thoughts when I first considered a career in the hospitality and tourism sector, especially in a beautiful resort situated in the North of Mauritius - Veranda Grand Baie. I remember walking into the gorgeous lobby of a world-class hotel and wondering what it would be like to actually work there — great atmosphere, great perks!

Sincerity
My first memory of Rogers is from my very first day at the Domaine Labourdonnais office on the 2nd of September 2003. It was truly exceptional to start my career in such a beautiful place, surrounded by lush greenery. I was warmly welcomed by Régine Hardy and Virginie de Chateauneuf who were having a chat in the garden, and came to meet me as I was hesitant. They made me feel right at home. Now, after 21 wonderful years with the Rogers Group, I still cherish that feeling of belonging.
Here is how my journey began with Rogers group. I started as an Accounts Clerk, which was my second job in order to gain work experience and support my parents financially. A friend of mine was working in the HR department at the Marina Hotel (which was a hotel in Rogers Group), and we were both pursuing our studies in Human Resources together. Her boss, at that time was Mr. Jean Cyril Jullienne, and he was looking for a HR Assistant and asked my friend about potential candidates. She immediately thought of me and encouraged him to contact me in office. Jean Cyril called me for an interview, and to my surprise, he offered me the position. It was an incredible opportunity that I had never imagined I would receive. When I started in the HR department 21 years back, there were just two of us. Now, with the expansion of the group, we have grown into a large HR team. I am deeply thankful to Jean Cyril for believing in me and giving me that chance. A special 'Thank' to that dear friend too. Since joining the HR department, I have continued to grow and develop professionally. I am grateful to everyone who has played a role in my career journey.

Team spirit
Mon premier jour fut memorable, alors que c'était le jour de la fête de Pâques avec beaucoup d'enfants à l'hôtel. Etant donné que les enfants disent en anglais "POO" signifiant popo ou gros commission ; moi qui comprenait rien au language des enfants, quand un enfant est venu me dire ce mot, j'étais vraiment perdue.
Ayant entendu du bien de l'hôtel, l'atmosphère joviale, les expériences d'une amie, cela m'a motivé pour rejoindre le groupe. Les moments mémorables c'est quand un client revient pour exprimer sa gratitude pour l'excellent service qu'on lui donne au kids club qui les ammènent à revenir. C'est ce qui fait la difference. On travaille pour créer des souvenirs et des expériences mémorables avec les enfants ainsi que les parents.
Mon premier poste était 'Casual kids Club Hostess' suivit d'un poste permanent. Et cela, date de 2011. Et après 8 années, je suis devenue superviseur. Grandissant encore dans le milieu en 2023, j'ai été promue en tant que Senior Superviseur. La compagnie m'a soutenu en fournissant des formations appropriées dépassant mes attentes pour mieux faire mon travail. Ayant un mentor comme Madame Reana, elle m'a beaucoup soutenu et encouragé pour mon development professionel.
Pour le future, mon plus grand souhait est de prendre la relève de Madame Reana en tant que Kids Club Manager en ayant l'experience et la connaissance requises au fil des années. L'aspect le plus gratifiant du travail chez Heritage resorts, c'est d'avoir l'opportunité de continuer à creer des vacances inoubliables pour nos clients. Le fait de savoir que chaque tâche, qu'il s'agisse d'un service impeccable, de la gestion d'un évènement ou de l'amélioration continue de la qualité de l'accueil, joue un rôle dans le comfort et la satisfaction des visiteurs est une source de fierté.

On my 3rd day at Rogers, 23rd May 2007, I was invited on the spot in a meeting with 2 colleagues. The meeting started and the 2 colleagues began an animated discussion. To say the least, I was lost and unable to actively participate in the discussion. The purpose of the meeting was the set up of a property fund. After a few months and meetings, I was more involved in the project, and in December 2008 (if I am not mistaken), Ascencia started its operations. Today, the company is listed and generates more than a billion rupees of PAT. I was fortunate to participate in the creation of such a successful company.

Love at first sight.
One Friday afternoon, the company announced a big upcoming project that would require collaboration between the creative and analytical teams. Mia (fictitious name) was assigned to lead the creative side, while Ethan (fictitious name) was tasked with providing the necessary data insights. As they started to work together, something unexpected happened. During their brainstorming sessions, Mia' enthusiasm began to draw Ethan out of his shell. He found himself captivated not just by her ideas but by her passion for the work. Mia, on the other hand, discovered Ethan's sharp analytical skills and the way he effortlessly translated complex data into compelling narratives. Their synergy was undeniable, and they began to spend more time together, both in and out of meetings. One late afternoon, as they reviewed the project's progress over coffee, the conversation shifted from work to personal stories. They shared their dreams and aspirations, finding common ground in their love for travel and adventure. The chemistry between them grew, and the office, once just a place of routine, started to feel more like a shared journey. As weeks passed, their collaboration flourished. With Mia's creativity and Ethan's analytical prowess, they crafted a compelling campaign that wowed their clients and exceeded expectations. Their teammates noticed the positive energy that radiated from them, and it inspired a ripple effect throughout the team. Productivity soared as others became motivated by Mia and Ethan's passion and teamwork. One evening, after a successful presentation to the clients, Mia and Ethan stepped out for a celebratory dinner. As they laughed over shared stories and toasted their success, Ethan took a deep breath: "I've really enjoyed working with you" he said, his eyes sparkling. "I feel like we make a great team." Mia smiled, her heart racing. "I feel the same way. It's like we bring out the best in each other." With the city skyline twinkling behind them, they shared their first kiss. From that moment, their relationship deepened. They supported each other through challenges at work, celebrated victories together, and continued to inspire their colleagues. As their romance blossomed, Mia and Ethan became a dynamic duo not just in love but also in the workplace. Their combined energy led to even greater success, as they initiated team-building activities and mentorship programs that transformed the office culture. People felt more connected, engaged, and motivated to contribute their best. Months later, when the annual company awards came around, Mia and Ethan received recognition not only for their outstanding project but also for their role in fostering a collaborative and positive work environment. Standing on stage together, they realized that their relationship had not only changed their lives but had also positively impacted everyone around them. As they looked out at their cheering colleagues, Mia whispered, "We really did spark something amazing here." Ethan smiled, squeezing her hand. "And this is just the beginning." With love and ambition intertwining, they knew they were ready to face any challenge together, both at work and in life.

La famillia
I still remember the day I walked through the doors of Rogers for the first time. There was a mix of nervous excitement and quiet determination in my heart. I didn’t know what to expect, but from the very beginning, I was greeted with warmth and a sense of belonging that felt almost immediate. What struck me most was the people, their kindness, their willingness to share knowledge, and their passion for what they do. It wasn’t just a workplace; it felt like being part of something bigger, a family with a shared vision. That first day was more than just the start of a job, it was the beginning of a journey filled with growth, connections, and unforgettable moments. And as I look back now, I can say with certainty that Rogers didn’t just shape my career; it shaped me.

Quand je pense à mes débuts chez Rogers, je repense à ce moment où je me suis dit : 'C'est là que je veux être'. C’était un rêve d'enfant qui prenait vie.
Je suis arrivée chez Rogers en plein milieu du projet de rebranding en 2022, et je me souviens encore de ce moment où j’ai intégré une équipe déjà bien lancée dans l’aventure. Tout était en mouvement, les idées fusaient, et j’ai vite compris que ce n’était pas qu’une question de changer une image, mais de redéfinir complètement l’identité de Rogers. Ce qui m’a marqué, c’est la façon dont l’équipe m’a accueillie, m’a impliquée dans les discussions, m’a fait confiance pour contribuer à ce projet d’envergure. Rapidement, ce groupe de collègues est devenu une véritable équipe soudée, et pour moi, ce projet n’a pas été qu’un défi professionnel, c’est aussi là que j’ai rencontré des personnes qui sont devenues de vrais amis. C’était une expérience intense, où chaque idée, chaque étape du processus, m’a permis d’apprendre, de grandir et de découvrir l’esprit créatif qui anime Rogers.

Mon premier souvenir marquant en travaillant dans la billetterie chez Rogers Aviation, de 2007 à 2008, est le moment où j'ai senti l'impact de mon travail au-delà de la simple transaction. Le fait d'aider les passagers mécontents, qui supportaient mal d'être rétrogradés ou réacheminés vers d'autres compagnies aériennes en raison de problèmes techniques ou d'intempéries, en jouant le rôle de psychologue, s'est transformé en un moment humain où j'ai pris conscience que derrière chaque billet, il y a une histoire, un voyage unique.
Avec la fermeture des frontières en 2020, Air France a opéré des vols décommercialisés afin de faciliter le flux de marchandises et de permettre le transport de primates vers l'Europe et les US, indispensable pour la recherche pendant cette période de crise mondiale sans précédent. Il fallait être disponible et être de concert avec les clients, agents, notre Ground Handling Agent Air Mauritius et PATS tout en étant à la fois en télétravail et au bureau avec un WAP, car avec le lockdown la circulation des citoyens était rigoureusement contrôlée. Mon expérience au fret depuis 2009, ma résilience, mon agilité et ma flexibilité m'ont permis de m'adapter rapidement à ce nouvel environnement et à de nouvelles responsabilités, tout en restant motivée face aux défis que cela a présenté.

Family
I was 5 years old when my father had to go to South Africa for a hernia operation. My mother accompanied him and I was to stay with my siblings. I was very sad and scared about my parents leaving me behind. My Dad took me to Rogers House to book and pay for his tickets. When I entered Rogers House the atmosphere of the building felt like stepping into a dream, where reality and fantasy intertwine. There was a kind of magic in the air that made everything feel surreal and special. I was overwhelmed by feelings of excitement, admiration and the buzzing energy flowing in the building. I was impressed by the classy airline attires. I felt connected, bonded and in harmony with the place; like a sense of union. My parents flew on South African Airways and the image of the majestic SAA Jumbo 747 with the orange tail and Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens (the Afrikaans name for South African Airways) written on the plane is still fresh in my mind. Sixteen years after I proudly joined Rogers Aviation. My first job and and only place of work since then. I fell in love, got married, got my kids and went through many good and very hard times in my life but Rogers stayed in my life all way through. It's a part of me, my essence, my existence. Rogers is my first family.
I was pregnant of my second child and only learnt about it when I started bleeding at work and was carried to the doctor. The doctor did a painful injection and asked me to stay in bed as the next 24 hours would be crucial in me keeping my child. That same night there was an urgent medical case to be uplifted on the next morning flight and when I heard about it, I immediately agreed to walk 4 floors down the stairs and come to the office (I was the one living nearest to the office). I was asked to break open the cupboard with the help of the security to get hold of manual tickets (the key was with the cashier who stayed in the south) and do all the process for the stretcher authorization. I left office around 02H00 am still with pain but with a feeling of accomplishment. The medical case flew on the next day and in South Africa they discovered that the doctor in Mauritius had given a wrong diagnosis and he didn't have any tumour. Sometime after I nearly delivered my baby at the office; but this is another anecdote :) The patient as well as his whole family came to thank me and till now the brother of the patient always introduces me as the lady who did an exceptional gesture and somehow saved his brother's life.

It was inspiring to see the collaborative spirit and commitment to excellence that defines our work environment, setting a positive tone for my journey here.
One particularly memorable moment during my time with the Rogers Group was when we successfully launched a major project that required extensive collaboration across departments. As the deadline approached, we faced several challenges that tested our problem-solving skills and teamwork. I vividly remember a late-night brainstorming session where team members from different backgrounds came together, sharing ideas and strategies. The energy in the room was electric, and it was inspiring to see everyone's commitment to achieving a common goal. When we finally launched the project on time, the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming. It reinforced the power of collaboration and highlighted the supportive culture at Rogers Group. This experience not only strengthened my professional relationships but also deepened my appreciation for the teamwork that drives our success.

My first memory of Rogers dates back to when I joined the team on the 8th of January 2024 and walked through the doors of Rogers House in Port Louis. The building itself, with its rich history, had always been a landmark from my childhood, but it was only on that first day as a new member of the Rogers family that I truly understood its significance. Being in a place so steeped in heritage, where so many have contributed to meaningful change over the years, gave me an immediate sense of pride and belonging.
While I may not have the years of history with Rogers that some of my colleagues do, my ten months here have been nothing short of transformative. Starting at Rogers House in Port Louis, a building that had always been emblematic in my childhood, I quickly realised that Rogers is not just a company but a living legacy. Moving to ENL House in Moka brought me closer to my roots, as my grandmother worked in this very place decades ago. Through the stories and guidance of colleagues who've been working for Rogers for a very long time, I've learned that Rogers is defined by its people, their dedication, passion and commitment to meaningful change. It's through these relationships that I've truly experienced the essence of Rogers, a place where history and innovation merge to create a brighter future. Though my time here is short compared to those who have been with Rogers for decades, I am proud to be part of this legacy, contributing to a story that has been 125 years in the making. Here's to meaningful change and the many more stories yet to be written.

My first coffee at Veranda Grand Baie hotel and Spa.
Throughout my journey at Rogers Hospitality, I have experienced continuous growth in my skills, responsibilities, and leadership capacity. Beginning in 2019 as a Human Resources Officer at Veranda Grand Baie, I quickly adapted to the company’s unique culture, which helped me develop a deep understanding of the values and operational standards upheld across different properties.
Transitioning to Veranda Palmar Beach as a People Operations Assistant allowed me to hone my skills in employee relations and operational support, while managing daily HR functions with precision. This role strengthened my adaptability and introduced me to the dynamics of supporting efficient operations in a busy hospitality environment. My transfer to Veranda Tamarin provided an invaluable opportunity to lead the HR department, where I gained experience in managing teams, implementing retention strategies, and developing training programs. This leadership role helped me build strong decision-making skills and increased my capacity for strategic planning.
The grand reopening of Veranda Grand Baie was a pivotal point in my career, as I was entrusted with overseeing the induction of new employees, a role that enhanced my organizational skills and taught me the importance of a strong onboarding experience. Managing dual responsibilities at both Veranda Grand Baie and Voilà Bagatelle helped me improve my multitasking and prioritization abilities.
In April 2023, I was promoted to People Operations Specialist for Quick Service Restaurant, marking a significant milestone in my career. In this role, I am responsible for overseeing people operations in a high-demand environment, which has further developed my leadership skills, strategic thinking, and capacity to drive impactful initiatives tailored to the unique needs of quick-service hospitality.
Reflecting on my growth at Rogers Hospitality, I feel a deep sense of accomplishment and gratitude. Each transition has been an invaluable learning experience, shaping not only my skills but also my perspective on leadership and people operations. Being promoted to People Operations Specialist was a defining moment that validated my hard work and reinforced my dedication to this field.
I'm proud of the journey and excited to continue evolving within Rogers Hospitality, where every role has deepened my commitment to making a positive difference.

À notre histoire tout court. Il y a 33 ans, à l’aube de mes 25 ans, j’ai eu l’immense honneur d’intégrer la famille « Rogers ». Effectivement, en 1991, notre pays était en pleine effervescence et la jeunesse Mauricienne, pleine d’espoir. Nous, les jeunes de cette époque, étions tous à la recherche d’un emploi pouvant nous garantir un avenir radieux et nous offrant des perspectives de carrières riches en rencontres et en expériences. Les formations académiques étant spartiates, le système éducatif en dents de scie et les opportunités d’évolutions sociales étant rares et non acquises, nous étions alors, demandeurs d’embauches et de recrutements dans des entreprises ayant de solides assises. « Rogers » était l’une d’elles. En 1991, « Rogers » avait déjà 92 ans d’histoire, 92 ans d’expertise sur le marché, 92 ans de savoir-faire, 92 ans d’art de vivre et était déjà à l’époque, un des fleurons de notre industrie locale. Au début de ma carrière au sein de notre entreprise, je fus recruté en tant que serveur à la Cafétéria. J’y ai appris le sens du service, j’ai développé le goût du travail bien fait, l’importance de la ponctualité, de la déférence envers mes collègues, collaborateurs et tous les membres du personnel. J’ai également grandi en discipline et en respect de mon prochain. Ainsi, au sein de « Rogers », dont le microcosme comme le macrocosme est en perpétuelle évolution, je vis mon quotidien de serveur s’agrandir dans le champ des perspectives car, par la force de mon travail et de l’appréciation de mes collaborateurs, je me vis offrir des responsabilités pour lesquelles je pris du plaisir à m’adapter rapidement. Cela forgeait, dans l’ombre, mes capacités physiques, mes capacités intellectuelles, mon endurance, mon envie constante de mieux faire et ce sentiment d’appartenance à mon entreprise qui m’habite et m’habitera toujours, une identité personnelle qui s’entrelace à l’identité d’entreprise portée par Rogers : Être présent pour autrui. Ce poste m’a permis de sensiblement évoluer sur le plan humain et social. Faire partie de la famille « Rogers », c’est un peu pour moi, faire partie de l’histoire de mon pays. Ainsi, au fil de mes 33 ans de carrière au sein de notre entreprise, j’ai eu l’honneur et le privilège de côtoyer, dans l’ombre, les personnalités qui ont forgé notre pays, tel qu’il est aujourd’hui, ceux ayant contribué au rayonnement de notre entreprise sur le plan local comme sur ses diverses activités à l’international. J’ai également l’immense gratitude d’avoir pu être le témoin privilégié de grandes avancées liées à notre identité corporate, de nos marques et contremarques, de notre groupe et de ses filiales, des créations de nouvelles entreprises dans des secteurs nouveaux, innovants et en pleins ébullitions. Ma propre évolution du 5ème étage (ancienne cantine), puis au troisième puis au 5ème encore m’a permis d’assister à la naissance de « CIM Finance », de « Rogers Capital », de « Mo Joker », le Golf de Heritage et le réseau Véranda parmi tant d’autres. La fierté qui m’habite est sans commune mesure et mon sens d’appartenance ne cesse de grandir. Au fil du temps, plus l’entreprise grandissait et prenait de l’ampleur, plus je gravis, à mon niveau, les échelons qui se présentaient à moi. J’acquis de l’expérience et du mérite de mon savoir-faire, deviens « Butler ». En rétrospective de mes 33 ans de service auprès de notre entreprise, « Rogers » m’a également accompagné dans les différents moments phares de ma vie personnelle. Ainsi, deux ans après avoir mon embauche au sein de la compagnie, Vimla, celle qui sera appelée à devenir mon épouse, accepta de m’offrir sa main. Étant issu d’un milieu social très modeste, ma famille, comme mes proches, ne pouvaient alors pas prétendre aux aides bancaires et personne de mon entourage n’a jamais pu en bénéficier. Ainsi, avec un mariage en perspective et en préparation matrimoniale imminente, je fis le pas et me rendit auprès d’une des banques locales dans l’espoir de pouvoir bénéficier d’un prêt. La préposée bancaire, après m’avoir posé les questions d’usage sur mon emploi et ma capacité de remboursement, s’est vite rendue compte que j’étais un des employés de « Rogers ». L’assise, la réputation et la confiance qu’inspire notre entreprise dans l’imaginaire commun, a fait que la préposée bancaire créa mon dossier de demande en un temps record et pour marquer sa sympathie, n’a pas hésité à faire l’éloge ouverte de « Rogers » en m’indiquant qu’elle avait des proches à elle qui y étaient également employés. Je pus donc offrir à mon épouse Vimla, le mariage de ses rêves et nous pûmes fonder notre foyer au sein duquel trois magnifiques enfants naquirent, Neethil, Neeshi et Krishi. Je tiens également à souligner que « Rogers » a toujours été présent dans le tableau que je brosse quand je parle de ma vie familiale. Je n’oublie pas les plans sur bases sociales offerts aux salariés, en termes d’acquisition de livres et manuels scolaires pour l’éducation et le bien-être des enfants – « Le Reef » en est un des nombreux exemples. Aujourd’hui mes enfants qui sont la prunelle de mes yeux, ma fierté, ont tous réussi leur Higher School Certificate et ont, pour deux d’entre eux déjà, leurs diplômes universitaires en poche et sont des professionnels de haut vol dans leurs domaines respectifs. Mon benjamin lui, termine actuellement son parcours universitaire. « Rogers » a été un des contributeurs phares à ces parcours de vies en m’ayant donné la chance d’avoir un emploi fixe, stable et durable et en m’offrant, comme à tous ses salariés des plans d’aides sociales. Grâce à « Rogers » et à la stabilité de l’emploi que j’ai l’honneur d’occuper, mes enfants ont réussi à atteindre des sphères sociales qui m’étaient inaccessibles à leur âge. Une évolution tangible que je peux aujourd’hui décrire comme étant le fameux « Mauritian Dream » dont tout le monde parle. Après 33 ans au service de mon entreprise, mon objectif est aujourd’hui la transmission du savoir et le lègue de l’esprit d’entreprise qui m’ont été inculqués à l’époque de ma prise de poste. Intégrer et évoluer dans l’une des top 10 compagnies de notre pays n’est pas mince affaire car, porter l’uniforme, porter nos couleurs, fait de nous, la personnification de l’entreprise aux yeux des profanes. C’est un héritage qui se doit être transmis dans les règles de l’art, le poids du passé et les perspectives d’avenir obligeant. L’ambiance de travail se doit d’être bonne et cordiale, je me fais fort de toujours privilégier les relations humaines et mets un point d’honneur à résoudre les conflits avec anticipation, préférant une approche réfléchie et juste. L’approche du comité d’entreprise a toujours été le pont fondamental dans la mise en valeurs et des rapports humains au sein de notre compagnie. L’approche étant elle-même toujours juste et réfléchie. Je salue d’ailleurs les prises de décisions qui sont toujours en adéquation avec les ressources humaines. La preuve en est les événements corporate organisés pour et par le personnel dont les fameux « End of Year Parties » qui sont organisés avec brio. Pendant ces événements, les employés ont l’occasion de se découvrir sous un autre jour et dans un autre contexte. J’ai d’ailleurs découvert que certains de mes collègues ont un penchant prononcé et un véritable talent pour la chanson. Ainsi, nous prenons beaucoup de plaisir à nous retrouver tous les ans, micro en main pour interpréter nos mélodies favorites dans la joie, la camaraderie, la bonne humeur et la fraternité. Heureux et comblé au sein de mon entreprise et en phase avec mon quotidien et les tâches qui me sont confiées, j’aborde mon parcours au sein de « Rogers » avec sérénité et confiance car je me sens appartenir à une famille. Comme dit le diction : On se fait sa famille, on appartient à un clan. En conclusion, j’ai récemment eu le témoignage de cet esprit de famille partagé quand, l’année dernière, en août 2023, à l’occasion du mariage de mon fils aîné, Monsieur Philippe Espitalier-Noël a honoré ma famille de sa présence et de son temps. Il était accompagné de Meera et ont partagé avec nous ce moment fort de ma vie personnelle et de ma vie de famille. De nos conversations, de nos moments d’échanges, j’ai beaucoup appris auprès de Philippe et des brillantes personnes qui l’entourent. Ils ont également contribué à exacerber une de mes autres passions qui est l’histoire. Être au bureau, me replonge à chaque fois dans le passé de notre pays dépeint dans ces nombreux tableaux, vraies fresques historiques, qui ornent nos murs, vrais symboles de notre histoire, que tous reconnaîtront. Des amitiés, des rencontres, du partage, un sentiment d’appartenance, une volonté de bien faire, la stabilité de l’emploi, des opportunités, des formations, des chances d’évolution dans un parcours professionnel, un rayonnement dans notre société, voici ce qu’est et ce que représente « Rogers » à mes yeux. 33 ans de carrière sur 125 ans d’histoire peut être vue comme une goutte d’eau dans un océan, une simple anecdote invisible parmi tant d’autres mais peut également être perçue comme un quart entier de la longévité de notre entreprise, un pan de notre histoire commune dont, l’humble employé que j’ai l’honneur d’être a pu être le témoin de l’ombre et le témoin privilégié du temps qui passe, qui nous forge et qui de manière anecdotique, nous rend meilleur."

Visionary
Back in 1997, fresh out of school, I joined Cargo Express without knowing what to expect. I had no clear idea of where I was headed or what my role within the company would be. The team welcomed me warmly, and it did not take long for me to feel a profound sense of camaraderie and belonging. I was very fortunate to have incredible mentors and colleagues, who generously shared their knowledge and guidance. These few years at Cargo Express were life transformative. This triggered a deep passion within me for the supply chain industry and laid the foundation for my career. I had finally discovered my path; thanks to Cargo Express for my first three years in the professional world.
In January 2020, after many years of exploring different horizons, life brought me full circle, I was back in the Rogers Group, with the amazing Rogers Hospitality Team at Mapou - full of energy, excitement and past experiences. My excitement was however cut short in March 2020 - there came the infamous Covid-19 pandemic. Borders were closed and the hospitality industry came to a standstill. Shortly after, one thing became clear and my fear was gone forever: Rogers Group was built on resilience and forward thinking. New projects and exciting challenges were in the pipeline. Five years later, I look back with immense pride and gratitude on what has been and will be achieved, and how lucky I am to be surrounded by amazing mentors, colleagues and friends. Thank you Rogers Group, Thank you Rogers Hospitality.

Sustainability
When I first joined Rogers, I worked as a Telex/FAX operator at PATS cargo which was situated at Plaine Magnien. Communication was done via fax or telex to other countries and vice versa. All Fax or telex were received in our department and redistributed to the concerned groups afterwards.
Je suis Mirella Bauda et j’ai intégré la compagnie Rogers en 1994. Depuis les premiers jours, j’ai été fière d’avoir rejoint une aussi grande entreprise que Rogers.
Déjà dans les années 90, Rogers représentait un acteur majeur de l’économie mauricienne. Donc pour moi c’était une chance inouïe de contribuer à l’économie mauricienne à travers cette compagnie. Au fil des années, j’ai touché à divers départements, allant d’Opératrice de Telex/Fax en passant par la section des opérations de téléphonie jusqu’à devenir une assistante en support technique aujourd’hui. J'apprécie particulièrement le défi de décomposer des problèmes complexes et d'expliquer des solutions simples. Chaque appel ou message est une occasion d'apprendre quelque chose de nouveau, tant sur les technologies que sur les besoins des utilisateurs.
Travailler en équipe est également un aspect que j'adore. Nous partageons nos connaissances et nos expériences pour nous améliorer continuellement. Grâce à cette collaboration, nous parvenons à offrir un service efficace et réactif, ce qui contribue à la satisfaction des utilisateurs. C'est gratifiant de savoir que mon aide fait une différence dans la vie quotidienne des gens, et je suis fière de faire partie d'une équipe qui valorise l'empathie et l'innovation.
Cela fait 30 ans que je travaille pour la compagnie, c’est une expérience formidable avec ses hauts et ses bas mais que l’on vit entouré de quelques personnes bienveillantes dans notre cheminement professionel.

Avoir participé à la Presentation du Best Chairman pour L'Excellence Award.
Il existe, dans l’histoire d’un peuple, des objets, des œuvres ou des représentations allégoriques qui, à eux seuls, incarnent l’âme et l’identité collective de toute une nation. Ces symboles, qu’ils soient matériels ou immatériels, transcendent le temps et les générations, façonnant la mémoire collective et le patrimoine symbolique d’un pays. Rogers, incontestablement, s’inscrit dans cette lignée en tant que pierre angulaire du développement économique et social de notre nation.
Il est un fait indéniable que ce groupe emblématique a marqué de son empreinte des secteurs clés, contribuant à leur essor et façonnant non seulement l’économie, mais également l’image de la nation à l’échelle internationale. Doit-on encore rappeler la place centrale occupée par Rogers dans le développement de l’industrie du tourisme, de l’aviation civile ou encore des services financiers non bancaires dans notre pays ? Faut-il encore souligner l’engagement de ses figures pionnières, telles qu’Amédée Maingard, dans la création de notre transporteur national, Air Mauritius, symbole d’autonomie et d’ouverture sur le monde, ou encore celle de NMH, reflet du savoir-faire et de l’excellence bien de chez nous ?
Au cours de son riche et long parcours, le groupe s’est affirmé, sans le moindre complexe, aux côtés des plus grands : Air France, Lafarge, MSC ou encore AXA et Améthis. Rogers, fort de ses 125 années d’existence, dépasse le cadre d’une simple entreprise : le groupe incarne une force motrice, un vecteur de progrès et une figure incontournable de la résilience et de l’ambition nationales. Profondément enraciné dans le tissu socio-économique du pays, son héritage rayonne comme un témoignage vivant de son rôle de porte-drapeau des aspirations mauriciennes, un phare guidant notre nation vers un avenir empreint d’ouverture, de dynamisme et de progrès.

Forward-thinking solutions
Experiencing the company's culture for the first time was my biggest highlight up to now. The emphasis on innovation and community involvement was evident and I'm still proud to be a member of the Roger's family for more than 13 years now!
My journey with Rogers Group has been an enriching experience, spanning over 13 years. I began as a casual waiter at Heritage Le Telfair and gradually worked my way up, holding various roles from waiter to head waiter, and later transitioning into the maintenance department as maintenance coordinator. After eight successful years in Bel Ombre, I moved to Veranda Tamarin, where I took on leadership roles as maintenance supervisor and sustainability officer, helping the hotel earn prestigious awards such as The Pledge on Food Waste, the Green Key certificate, and a Silver Award at the Mauritius Sustainable Awards. My most recent role as Maintenance Executive is a testament to the opportunities for growth within the company, and I'm proud to continue contributing to its success. A big thank you for the trust!

Being recruited after a job interview in 2007.
One time (among so many others) that marked me was when during the first National COVID-19 confinement I was at Veranda Palmar Beach among a skeleton team that was about to hand over the hotel completely to the Ministry of Health. Same was to be used to be used for isolation of repatriation passengers arriving to Mauritius. Once the hotel was taken over, no employees would be allowed onsite as the zone would be designated as quarantine centre. The context was already a difficult one for all Mauritians, with no projection on what the situation would be in the coming days. And when the time arrived to leave the hotel in the hands of an external third party, we all left the premises with a heavy heart.

Empowering
One particularly memorable moment during my time at Rogers Capital was when I was entrusted with my own portfolio shortly after being confirmed in the Client Accounting Department. Initially, managing the accounting for 20-22 companies at once felt quite challenging. However, it required close collaboration with my team, and while I felt the pressure at first, the incredible support I received from my colleagues made all the difference. We worked together seamlessly, and I gained invaluable insights into teamwork, problem-solving, and the core values of the company. This experience not only boosted my confidence but also highlighted the collaborative spirit and growth-oriented culture at Rogers Capital. It's a moment that has stayed with me, and I look forward to continuing to grow and learn here.

When Richard Koeing meets me in my office at the nursery and says to me: "Il y a un train qui passe, veux tu faire en faire partie ?" Au fait, il voulait savoir si j'étais intéressé de prendre la responsabilité du département du Landscaping (nouveau département à l'époque). Et de ce fait je devenais "Manager d'un Department"alors qu'à l'époque j'étais l'assistant du Chef de Section à la Culture...WOW...Un Ti Janot Peroumal, p vine Manager. Pourquoi c'est la première chose qui m'a marquée : Chez Rogers on tous une chance d'avancer !
Je dirais plutôt un fait.
Un jour Bernard Toulet , l'Administrateur de la Compagnie de l'époque me demande de venir le voir... Il me dit , "Janot , On va reprendre la pépinière sous nôtre responsabilité, peux tu rencontrer l'équipe de Top Turf et organises toi pour comprendre comment on devrait fonctionner." Un challenge de plus... Effectivement je rencontre le responsable et il me dit alors "Ok fine, the team is working overthere (under the nursery shed), you can join them". Loin de me décourager, c'était au fait le plus grand cadeau qu'il allait me faire. J'ai appris à faire les boutures, préparer les plantes, s'occuper de la zone, faire le travail sur le terrain ;quoi demander de plus. Faire le travail de A à Z.
Pour vous dire, mon Agilité, ma capacité à m'adapter à toute situation m'a permis d'avancer. Je l'ai fait pendant toute ma carrière à Bel Ombre. En fin de compte, avec cette même équipe, on a produit des milliers de plantes pour le projet de Villas Valriche. J'aurai pu me dire : "Cadre de Propriété Sucrière, tu ne vas pas aller t'asseoir sur une roche et travailler." Mais je l'ai fait pendant une année. Moralité: "Les opportunités n'arrivent pas .Vous les créez". Merci.

My first memory of Rogers is sitting on the white sofa in the reception area before my interview. I was immediately impressed by the ambiance - the soft lighting and the charming little alley surrounded by pebbles at the entrance. The trees, which I couldn't quite identify as coconut or palm, added to the inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like a place where I could see myself working.
One of the most memorable aspects of working with the Rogers Group is the unwavering support within the team. Whether it's tackling a challenging task or navigating tight deadlines, everyone is always willing to lend a hand. The collective commitment to each other's success not only enhances our productivity but also strengthens our team dynamics, making each challenge an opportunity for growth.

Mon souvenir marquant reste mon arrivée au sein du groupe. Un groupe qui représente pour moi l'aboutissement d'un projet de longue date ainsi que la fierté d'appartenir à un si important conglomérat, qui plus est connu internationalement.
Mon rêve, depuis plusieurs années, était de venir vivre et travailler à l’île Maurice. Grâce au Groupe Rogers, j’ai la possibilité de m’y établir et grandir tant professionnellement que personnellement. Mieux encore, je travaille activement pour faire rayonner l’art de vivre sous les tropiques de Heritage Villas Valriche et du beau domaine de Bel Ombre. C’est désormais à mon tour de faire rêver les étrangers à venir s’expatrier !

Successful
When I was a child, we always insisted on buying products which were sold by Rogers as our family was involved in the shareholding of the group a long time back. Rogers was part of our family DNA
The relationship between the major shareholders of Rogers as they evolved over the years has been a very enriching experience and decisions were taken several times over the years that streamlined the ownership of the group. Rogers was eventually split into two parts at the initiative of its two family controlled shareholders and Rogers has been a subsidiary of ENL for more than 10 years. ENL and Rogers are now studying the possibility of merging the two entitities. This augurs well for the future
I’ll never forget the day I joined the company—Monday, the 15th of December 1980.
It’s a date etched in my memory not just because it was the start of my career, but because of how it all began. That weekend, I went to a party, like most young men my age, enjoying life without a care in the world. I got back home early Monday morning, completely unaware of the storm waiting for me. My mother was waiting, furious. She reminded me I had to start work that very day, and she wasn’t wrong jobs were hard to come by in those days. Without wasting a second, I scrambled to get ready. When I arrived late at the Albion Dock in Port Louis, I nervously made an excuse, telling them I had missed my way. Thankfully, I was allowed to start, and that moment marked the beginning of a journey that has lasted 44 years.
Today, at 65 years old, I look back with immense pride. Serving the company for more than four decades has been a privilege. That first day may not have started perfectly, but it shaped the hardworking, dedicated person I am today.
