At IRG, culture is not a poster on the wall.
It’s how we show up..... every shift, every event, every guest, every day.
The 2026 HR Culture Project connects every employee, every role, and every business unit into one shared standard of behaviour. Designed specifically for our multi-location hotel and events environment, this framework turns our values into practical, observable actions that guide daily briefings, performance reviews, training, and teamwork.
Our IRG Core Values 2026
One Culture. One Standard. One Energy.
PUT ENERGY FIRST
Our driving force.
Energy sets the tone. We bring positivity, solutions, and enthusiasm into every space we enter.
What this looks like:
Showing up with positive, professional energy.
Responding to challenges with solutions....not excuses.
Supporting teammates and sharing information.
Staying calm and proactive under pressure.
Creating an environment where energy flows, not where it gets blocked.
Our standard: We stay engaged, supportive, and high-performing.....especially when it matters most.
CHARGE AT CHANGE
We stay ahead of the curve.
Change is part of our industry. We embrace it.
What this looks like:
Adapting quickly to new ideas, tools, and processes.
Anticipating needs and staying one step ahead.
Addressing issues promptly using agreed processes.
Communicating changes clearly and constructively.
Collaborating across departments to find solutions.
Our standard: We treat change as opportunity.....never disruption.
CREATE MOMENTS
Make experiences worth remembering.
We don’t just deliver service. We create stories.

Managers as Culture Leaders
Managers will:
Translate values into real operational examples.
Clarify behaviours we encourage.....and behaviours we eliminate.
Model the culture daily through their actions.

Culture champions will be identified at all levels..... not just management.
They will:
Reinforce culture during daily briefings.
Recognise and celebrate culture-based behaviours.
Help keep our values visible and alive in operations.
Our Commitment
This is not just an HR initiative.
It is our collective commitment to define who we are and how we show up.
One behaviour. One shift. One moment at a time.
