THE times, they are a-changing. As women take on more responsibilities in the workplace, so have their ranks risen within establishments. Not so long ago, women were delegated to housekeeping in many hotels, sometimes manning the front desk to welcome guests, and perhaps doing prep work in kitchens. Now they are executives themselves, managers and sous chefs in major hotels around the world. At the Ascott Group in the Philippines, the property is proud of their female executives, the Women of Ascott, as they are called within the company.
