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.

Durant mon premier PEX, j'ai eu la chance de participer à diverses activités afin de renforcer la cohésion d'équipe. Plusieurs jeux avaient été organisés. C'était un moment fort en émotions. Un moment de joie, de partage et de rire. Nous étions tous réunis.
Dans le cadre de mon travail, j'ai eu l'occasion d'aller plonger pour observer les herbiers marins. C'était une expérience magnifique, j'étais remplie de bonheur et de joie. Pouvoir être dans l'océan et être sur un projet pour la conservation de notre lagon était magique.

Quelle journée ! Clac!... Me voilà en route, lunettes de soleil vissées sur le visage ; direction le nord, plus exactement Mapou, avec ses champs de cannes à perte de vue, qui enivrent l'air d'une douce odeur sucrée. Un paysage qui appelle à s'évader, avant une journée qui s'annonce bien remplie à Rogers Hospitality ! Quelques ronds-points plus tard, un petit créneau et hop, à pas pressés ; direction une bâtisse en pierre et aux tuiles rouges. Une allée de cocotiers sous les chants des oiseaux, t'accueille dans le beau jardin du Domaine de Labourdonnais, petit raccourci par la cantine, où le parfum d'un bon café t'invite à t'offrir un petit coup de boost pour la journée mais pas le temps, direction le studio, notre petite équipe de graphiste ! On se check, se tape la bise, une poignée de main chaleureuse, ou un sourire amical, tout pour commencer une belle journée de travail. Entre deux conversations et une mise au point, j'allume mon ordi, repasse sur mes courriels, on échange, on fait le point des projets en cours. Maintenant, il est temps de se concentrer, je colle mon casque audio sur les oreilles et comme musique pour se donner de la motivation, ce sera variété française sur fond des cliquetis de souris, des tintements de l'imprimante, et le bourdonnement des conversations. Et là, je me dis: "Bin, vou zot, être ici, c'est toute une histoire !". Je me remémore mes débuts en agences de pubs, et les premières marques auxquelles je vais être en contact sont Heritage Resorts et Veranda Resorts. Mes premières créations seront les brochures de Veranda Resorts avec son logo fleuri, puis Heritage Resort & Golf, qui n'avait alors qu'un hôtel ! 10 ans en agence, à créer et à redéfinir les marques Veranda et Heritage, derrière mon mac. Ces projets m'ont donné une envie de découvrir le monde hôtelier et aussi l'hôtellerie de luxe. Et puis voilà ; après une première prise de contact avant la COVID, puis la COVID et le confinement, un entretien d'embauche durant la COVID, et encore un confinement, et post-COVID finalement. Tut ! Tut ! Klaxon du marchand de faratas ! Déjà 10 heures, pour une pause thé avec les collègues. Un thé chaud, un brin de causette, on rigole, on se taquine, on se partage un gâteau et puis retour aux fourneaux ! Donc je disais : « Oui finalement, me voilà, dans les coulisses de la marque Heritage, avec ces rencontres, ces défis, un nouveau monde à découvrir, un voyage passionnant à faire… arpentant les hôtels, les golfs et tous les coins et recoins de Bel Ombre ; de photo shoot et video shoot… parfois c’est épuisant mais à la fin content du beau travail accompli… Bon arrêtons de rêvasser… C’est l’heure de déjeuner. » Midi pile! Ça s’active devant les micro-ondes. les ventres gargouillent à force de faire travailler les méninges. Entre sourires, rires et éclats de rires, le midi chez Rogers Hospitality c’est sacré. Dans une bonne ambiance, de convivialité et de franche rigolade, certains racontent leurs vies de famille, d’autres les galères, et encore quelques anecdotes et péripéties rigolotes. Parfois, sur une autre table, d’autres font, défont, refont les meilleures stratégies de vente ou de marketing… ah les passionnés… Après une petite sucrerie à La Corbeille, retour au boulot… entre Teams, meeting Teams, et meeting… une pause de thé expresse… la journée défile… c’est l’heure de rentrer chez soi… Les traits quelque peu tirés par le stress quotidien, on retourne à nos voitures… en tête des moments mémorables avec nos collègues… Sinon, moi, je trace… c’est moi qui cuisine ce soir… Allez… Au revoir et à demain !

My memorable experience at Rogers is deeply tied to the precious moments I share daily with my colleagues at the office. Each of us brings our own qualities and flaws, but what makes our experience unforgettable are the moments spent together: our laughter, our jokes, and, above all, our sense of humour. These unique and authentic memories will forever be etched in my mind and in our hearts. At Rogers, each memorable moment is an essential piece of our collective mosaic.
I have been with Rogers for nearly 9 years. One of my most memorable experiences was the launch of Rogers Hospitality. It was a magical and extraordinary week where I got to discover all the aspects and products of Rogers Hospitality, such as the Veranda hotels, Heritage Resorts, and restaurants like Domino's Pizza & Chamarel which allowing me to explore a universe different from my daily life.
This moment was unique, filled with positive energy and strong emotions. I was very happy to have the privilege of being one member of the organizers of this event. I greatly appreciated this experience, which also enriched my knowledge. In other words, it was a fantastic experience, and I would do it again without hesitation. It is a memory that will forever be etched in my mind and in my heart.

My first memory of Rogers is from my very first day with the company. I still remember walking into the office and immediately feeling a sense of warmth and professionalism from everyone around me. What struck me most was how welcoming the team was and how smoothly the onboarding process went. One specific moment that stands out was meeting my manager for the first time. They took the time to not only explain the company's goals and values but also to ask about my own professional aspirations. That early connection made me feel like Rogers genuinely cared about my development and well-being right from the start. It was in that moment that I knew I was joining a company with a strong, people-focused culture, which has continued to shape my positive experience ever since.
A particularly memorable moment during my time at the Rogers Group was in March 2020, when the company was flourishing across all areas. Then COVID-19 struck. We were suddenly faced with unforeseen challenges, but the way the team came together during that period was truly inspiring. At the time, I was working for Cap d'Abondance, a company rooted in the tourism industry, which was hit hard as business plummeted to 0%. People across the country were anxious about their jobs, and many were left unemployed and struggling. However, at Rogers, we had the reassurance that we were in the right place, and we were determined to get through this difficult phase, which we did. We recovered exceptionally well. I'm so proud to be part of a company like Rogers, which truly makes a difference in its employees' lives, from health campaigns to birthday leaves, employee discounts across various companies, and many other valuable benefits. That experience really emphasized for me the collaborative and supportive culture at Rogers Group. It reinforced how, when we work together, we can overcome any obstacle. It's a moment that made me feel proud to be part of such a dedicated and talented team.

I have always appreciated the human approach, welfare activities, and learning and development opportunities at Rogers Aviation. I am thrilled to have manifested my return as the Marketing Manager, which is a significant step forward in my career.

Ma première mémoire de Rogers est liée à mon entretien, une journée qui m’a laissé une impression durable. Je me souviens parfaitement d’être entrée dans le bâtiment sophistiqué de Rogers House, situé au cœur de Port-Louis. Le bâtiment dégageait une aura de professionnalisme et d’histoire, tout en étant tourné vers l’avenir, incarnant parfaitement ce que j’avais entendu sur la capacité du groupe Rogers à allier tradition et innovation. J’ai été conduite dans la salle de réunion appelée « Agility », une salle qui allait bientôt devenir très importante dans mon parcours au sein de l’entreprise. Assise là, j’ai été frappée par la manière dont tout était si soigné et méticuleusement organisé, reflétant les standards élevés du groupe. L’entretien était un mélange d’excitation et de nervosité, mais ce qui m’a le plus marquée, c’est la sensation d’entrer dans un monde où l’excellence et les opportunités semblaient illimitées. Je ne savais pas encore que « Agility » ne serait pas seulement une salle de réunion, mais une partie essentielle de mon histoire chez Rogers.
Un moment particulièrement mémorable lors de mon passage au sein du Groupe Rogers a été lorsque j'ai ouvert mes résultats du Higher School Certificate (HSC) – au travail. C'était en février, et cela ne faisait que quelques mois que j'étais chez Rogers, m'adaptant encore à ce nouvel environnement rapide et saisissant toutes les opportunités d'apprentissage. Je me souviens d'être assise dans la salle de réunion « Agility », un endroit où j'avais déjà vécu tant de premières : mon entretien, ma première réunion, et même mon premier recadrage. Ce jour-là, l'atmosphère était différente. Nerveusement, je me suis connectée pour vérifier mes résultats, entourée par cet environnement qui m'avait déjà tant apporté en si peu de temps. C'était surréaliste de voir mes résultats scolaires tout en étant au cœur d'une entreprise dont j'étais si fière de faire partie. Ouvrir mes résultats du HSC là-bas était symbolique – cela marquait à la fois une étape académique et professionnelle, et c'était un rappel de tout le chemin parcouru. Ce moment m'a renforcée dans l'idée de combien Rogers avait été un environnement de soutien et d'apprentissage, me permettant de grandir et de me développer, même en parallèle de mon propre parcours personnel.

Rogers fait partie de mon ADN. Mon épouse est une ancienne de Rogers. On s'est connu en 1989 et nous sommes mariés en 1991. Quand, en 2000, une opportunité m'est offerte pour tenter une expérience pour Rogers à l’étranger, mon épouse m’a suivi tout de suite pour le meilleur de Rogers. Je découvre à ce moment le Mozambique, où, avec deux autres collègues, nous démarrons MAHS - Mozambique Airport Handling Society, où j'occupe le poste de Operations Manager. J'ai continué mon périple à Madagascar au sein de Rogers Aviation Madagascar et mes enfants ont fait leurs études primaires et secondaires à Maputo et à Antananarivo. Ils ont eu ce même ADN que moi. Aujourd'hui, ils sont tous deux mariés et ont terminé leurs études brillamment en France et se remémorent de cet environnement de Rogers dans lequel ils ont grandi. Rogers a permis à ma famille et à mes enfants d'avoir une ouverture sur le monde et une grandeur et une ouverture d'esprit. Ma famille est aujourd'hui internationale comme Rogers, avec une belle-fille française et un gendre malgache, qui vivent en France, s’adaptent facilement en Afrique et pourront vivre en harmonie à Maurice. Rogers m’a offert ce privilège d'avoir grandi avec mes enfants en suivant les valeurs que Rogers m’a transmis pendant 16 ans d’expatriation, les années de développement de mes enfants. Rogers est ainsi ma famille au sens propre du terme !

Receiving the Best Employee award in the Food and Beverage department. This recognition was especially meaningful because it reflected not only my hard work but also my commitment to creating memorable experiences for our guests. Over the years, I’ve worked to ensure that every interaction, every meal, and every detail reflects the quality and care that Heritage Awali is known for. Receiving this award was a proud moment that underscored the impact we have in hospitality—it reminded me of the importance of passion and consistency in the work we do every day."

Je suis Annick Peroumal du département Indoor Sales & Follow up et j’ai 37 années de Service dans la compagnie.
J’ai débuté ma carrière en 1987 comme Telex Operator à Rogers Air Cargo et après 3 ans (en 1990) on a créé le département maritime (Pats Seafreight) et j’ai eu la chance de me joindre à l’équipe. On avait beaucoup d ‘exportation de textiles et on n'avait pas d'ordinateur et laptop comme maintenant. La documentation se faisait manuellement. C'était vraiment une autre époque. Lorsqu’on a délocalisé le bureau à Riche Terre, je me suis retrouvée à m’occuper du Secrétariat / Admin pour le bureau et le warehouse pendant 7 ans (Pats Seafreight / Logistics World et Maxi Cargo).
Vers les années 2000 on a commencé à avoir les changements Maxi cargo est devenu R & C Logistics et en 2002 le bureau a bougé à Port Louis. En 2002 il y a eu aussi la création du département de “Coffret des Iles” à Plaisance qui s’occupait des envois des coffrets cadeaux vers l’étranger et en 2003 j’ai rejoint ce département. Malheureusement après une année le concept n’a pas vraiment marché et nous avons fermé le département. En même temps il y avait la fusion de Rogers Cargo et Cargo Express et je me suis retrouvée au département Indoor sales depuis 2004 à ce jour.
Je suis passionnée dans mon travail et aime être toujours à l'écoute de mes clients en étant proche d'eux et les aider. Dans ce métier, il faut aussi avoir de la patience et une bonne communication que ce soit interne ou externe. Pendant ma carrière - J’ai eu l ’occasion de travailler avec plusieurs chefs et j’ai beaucoup appris avec eux. Les cours que j'ai eu m'ont aidé à grandir et m'améliorer dans mon travail. De même que les business trips ont été une bonne expérience pour moi. L'autre souvenir est en 2007 lorsque j'ai remporté "The Best Employee Award" et sans oublier notre équipe du Indoor Sales & Follow up ou règne vraiment un esprit d'équipe et je peux dire nous sommes vraiment une famille.
Pour conclure je dis un grand merci au management et je suis fière de travailler pour Velogic.

I remember the warm welcome I received from all the team members on my first day. The working environment was so positive, and the enthusiasm of the team was contagious. It made me feel immediately at home and excited to be part of such a supportive and dynamic culture.
One of the most memorable moments for me at the Rogers Group was during a particularly challenging project. With a tight deadline and a lot of pressure, I could have easily felt overwhelmed. But instead, my colleagues came together to help and collaborate, and we successfully met the deadline. That experience and support really showed me the power of teamwork and the positive, solution-oriented mindset that defines the Rogers Group.

My first memory of Rogers Malls was as a frequent visitor, enjoying the shopping mall. When I started working at Bagatelle Mall, it was an entirely new experience, the evolving bond between our tenants and visitors, and how we all work together as one team. Through shared learning and collaboration, we continuously create memorable experiences for everyone who steps into the mall. It’s rewarding to be part of this collective effort, where we grow together and build lasting connections.
One experience that stands out was during a holiday season at the mall. We were organising a large Christmas event, and there was a huge rush to get everything in place on time.
The whole team, from marketing to maintenance, created a magical atmosphere for our visitors. I remember staying late with a few team members, decorating and arranging activities, while sharing stories and laughs. When the day arrived, seeing families enjoy the festive ambience we had all worked so hard to create was incredibly rewarding. Moments like these capture the spirit of Ascencia working as one team to bring joy to our community.
Rogers Group underwent a major rebranding in November 2022, updating its brand identity to reflect its evolving mission and values. The Group introduced a new classification, shifting from four served markets to five key segments: Finance & Technology, Logistics, Malls, Real Estate & Agribusiness, and Hospitality & Travel.
This reorganisation is part of Rogers' strategy to foster meaningful change, align its resources for a greater impact, and stay true to its vision of shaping a better future for businesses, communities, and the planet.
Le Café de Chamarel has a rich history dating back to 1967. This coffee plantation was established by the former Bel Ombre Sugar Estate now known as Agrïa, part of the Rogers Group, to diversify agricultural production as sugar yields decreased. Oswald du Chasteleer, a coffee planter with experience in the Belgian Congo, played a pivotal role in launching Chamarel’s coffee production. His expertise helped position Chamarel as a unique area for cultivating Arabica coffee, taking advantage of the ideal climate and volcanic soil, which contribute to the coffee’s distinct flavor.
Today, Café de Chamarel is renowned as the only 100% Mauritian-grown coffee, meticulously cultivated on a 12-hectare plantation sheltered by palm trees and baobabs of Madagascar. In 2018, Chamarel Coffee proudly earned the "Made in Moris" label, affirming its deep connection to Mauritian culture and heritage. Visitors can enjoy this rich coffee experience at the Seven Coloured Earth Geopark, where they can sample and purchase Chamarel Coffee, reflecting Rogers’ commitment to blending tourism with sustainable agriculture and local culture.

My father served the group for over 20 years. Thanks to his job, I was lucky enough to visit and stay quite often at my favorite hotels: Veranda Palmar, Veranda Grand Baie, and Veranda Pointe aux Biches. I loved the Ti Momo kids club, beaches, restaurants, and hospitality of the personnel. These hotels became my childhood havens. It was around that time, when I was eight, that I asked who actually owned them and was told that it was the Rogers Group. I thought the group was a team of guys all named Rogers then, I didn't quite grasp what a body corporate was, but Rogers was already a big deal to me!
I only joined the group earlier this year, but it already feels right to pen this testimonial. As some of the veterans say, Rogers' blue blood runs through my veins. I grew up with Rogers' values unknowingly. I was drawn towards meaningful change, excellence, agility, innovation, sustainability and aimed to be part of it all someday. Rogers was my first choice after graduating in 2018. Since then, I made my way to the Rogers family and now I am proud to also drive sustainable growth of Mauritian businesses and communities. Today, I am having the chance to work and set in motion these values through social projects, the integration of our head offices and our culture programme. I am confident that together we will achieve many more milestones.

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.

I was just 16 years old when I joined the company as a cleaner for bulk sugar containers. It was my first step into the working world, and I could never have imagined then how much this company would shape my life. At 24, I was given an incredible opportunity. The company supported me in obtaining my driving license and later encouraged me to follow a course at IVTB to earn my forklift license. These qualifications opened doors for me, allowing me to take on new responsibilities and grow professionally.
The company didn’t just help me in my career—they also supported me in my personal life. They granted me an advance on my pay, which allowed me to place a deposit for the purchase of my house. Later, they extended the same generosity when I was preparing for my wedding. These moments stand out as examples of how much the company has cared for its employees.
Today, at 56 years old, I feel nothing but gratitude. The opportunities and support I’ve received over the years have changed my life for the better. As I continue working, I look forward to staying with the company until my retirement, proud to be part of this incredible journey.

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.

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.

Inspiring
Every day after school, as I walked down John Kennedy Street in Port Louis, my eyes would always be drawn to the Rogers House. There was something about its presence that captivated me, a sense of inspiration and aspiration that resonated deeply within me. The name itself, "Rogers House" held a certain magic, a promise of opportunities and dreams waiting to be fulfilled. I would often pause for a moment, imagining myself as part of the vibrant team within those walls. The thought of contributing to such a prestigious company filled me with determination and hope. It was more than just a building; it was a symbol of my ambitions and the future I envisioned for myself. Today, as I stand here as a proud member of the Rogers House family, I am reminded of that young girl with big dreams. The journey from those school days to now has been incredible, and every step has been worth it. Rogers House continues to inspire me, just as it did back then, and I am grateful to be part of this amazing journey.
One of the most unforgettable experiences I've had with the Rogers Group was during our team building. This event was more than just a break from our daily routines; it was a chance for all of us to come together, not just as colleagues, but as a close-knit family. The retreat was held at a beautiful location, surrounded by nature, which provided the perfect backdrop for bonding and relaxation. The highlight of the retreat was the end-of-year party. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, and a sense of unity. We played games, shared stories, and celebrated our achievements. It was during this time that I truly felt the strength of our team spirit and the supportive culture that the Rogers Group fosters. However, the most significant moment for me is when I was promoted to a new role, which marked the beginning of an exciting and challenging journey. This promotion was a turning point in my career. It came with the responsibility of leading a team, which was both exhilarating and daunting. I remember the first project we tackled together; it was a complex task that required innovative thinking and collaboration. The support I received from my colleagues was incredible. They were always there to offer advice, share their expertise, and encourage me to push my boundaries. This period was a time of immense growth for me, both professionally and personally. I learned valuable lessons in leadership, teamwork, and resilience. Looking back, this experience stands out not just because of the promotion, but because of the journey that followed. It was a time of learning, adapting and thriving in a dynamic environment. The memories of those days, the challenges we overcame, and the bonds we formed are something I will always cherish. The Rogers Group has been more than just a workplace; it has been a place where dreams are nurtured, and potential is realized.

Legacy is the word that best describes Rogers Group for me. It’s fulfilling to know I’m contributing to a tradition of dedication and values that my grandfather cherished, and I’m proud to be part of shaping its future for those who come after me.
My first memory of Rogers is a special one. When I was just six years old, I took a photo in front of the Rogers building, I still have the picture by the way—pure coincidence, or perhaps fate. Looking back, it feels as if I was always meant to be connected to this place. With my grandfather having worked at Rogers as a van driver, I grew up with a deep, almost familial bond to the company. I never imagined then that one day I’d walk through those same doors to start my career. That childhood moment, once just a snapshot, has become a meaningful memory in my journey with Rogers Capital. 16 years later, after finishing my university exams, Rogers Capital became the first company I applied to—and it was also the first to respond with an offer. It felt like all the moments connected, as if this path was meant to be. Accepting the offer instantly, I began work the very next day, and from that point forward, I’ve felt both proud and at home in this vibrant environment.
One of my most memorable experiences with Rogers Group was the first time I collaborated with the marketing team to promote the company through social media. Given my role as World Miss University of Mauritius, this opportunity was not only exciting but also deeply meaningful, as it allowed me to represent Rogers in a way that connected with people across different backgrounds. Also, youngsters like me feel so much included in the workplace and we are free to voice out our ideas and to have some fun while simultaneously working for the benefit of our Company. I remember the energy in the room as we brainstormed ideas to showcase Rogers’ dynamic work environment. This project was impactful because it blended my passion for outreach with Rogers' commitment to innovative engagement. Working with such a dedicated team reminded me why Rogers has such a lasting legacy. This experience truly showed me the value of being part of a company that nurtures its employees’ strengths and encourages them to excel beyond their roles despite having different groups of generations.

Having had to have a dinner with my client at the Restaurant of Voilà Hotel, whereby leading us me and my client towards an incredible friendship. That dinner evening is indeed a memorable one and we both still talk about the 1st new movie or serial we are going to watch on Netflix. With Rogers, we indeed create mauments! We live it, experience it, and capture memorable moments!

Agile
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 day at work where I was welcomed with flowers, a welcoming message and lots of best wishes from my team members.
The day where all co-workers on my floor participated in the birthdays of one manager and two other heads of department and we ate Briani and icecream accompanied with lots of laughter.

The heartiest welcome I received from the first day of my interview up to my joining day and all the transparency from all the personnel etched my mind in such a way that I feel like family since day one.
The moment I was invited to join for an interview despite being just a newcomer in the company and the ability to express myself and open minded and growth since day one and valorise you as a person and professional mark my journey in this wonderful company.

Togetherness
On my first day at Rogers Aviation, I got an unexpected gift and that gift was the welcome with a genuine smile of all the teams, starting from the HR that encouraged me to climb the stairs and achieve what I achieved today. I heart-fully thanks my manager and the HR who always push me to learn more, making each day a new adventure to explore.
Each day at Aviation is like a new territory to conquer for me, so no place for boredom!
Anecdote: During covid, there were no 'levels of staffs'. I remember, to get the budget reports done, we all put our minds and resources available above all to get the work done.
Lesson: I'm enjoying to-date, being in Rogers is like "The best adventures which I begin with a single step outside of my comfort zone."

The logo clearly visible from the motorway.
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.

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.

125 Years of Meaningful Change My path at Rogers began in July 1987. Rogers is a well-known organisation around the world with diversified business units. This was a challenge for me when I joined Rogers. Working at Rogers, we feel honoured to be part of the family, a team with the same vision, mission and objectives. Rogers continues to grow locally and internationally, to reinforce its employees base as well, while contributing to the economic and social development of the country. The good memories at Rogers are: 1. Friendly atmosphere within which we operate 2. End of year parties 3. Fun days 4. Get together When we will discover the hidden talents of our colleagues.

Ambition
Mon premier souvenir marquant de Rogers sont les pubs Blue Sky au cinéma de Bagatelle.
Une anecdote serait mes quelques semaines de travail à Rogers House. Tous les matins, en arrivant, je restais coincé dans le hall d'entrée car je n'avais pas de pass. Et chaque matin, une personne différente me voyait et venait gentiment m'ouvrir la porte !

Résilience
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.

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.
I started my journey with the company when I was just 20 years old, working on various sites around the island. It was my first real job, and I gave it my all.
Two years later, my hard work was recognised, and I was promoted to Forklift Driver—a step that made me feel proud and motivated to keep growing. At 30, the company secured a big contract with the Marine Ports Authority (MPA) for container deliveries, operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for about 1½ years. It was a challenging period, working long shifts, but it paid off.
The extra income allowed me to complete the construction of my house, a goal I had been working toward for years. Over time, I had the opportunity to work on many different projects, including assignments at suites all over the island. These experiences broadened my horizons and made me more versatile in my work. Outside of my regular duties, I found another passion—football. Today, I proudly serve as the trainer of the Velogic Football Team.
Under my guidance, we achieved a significant milestone, winning second place in the 1st Division—a moment of great pride for me and the team. Now, at 60 years old, I look back on my journey with gratitude. I’ve grown alongside the company, achieved personal milestones, and built lasting relationships.
As I continue working until retirement, I feel a sense of fulfilment knowing how far I’ve come and the legacy I’ll leave behind.
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.

Mon premier Interview
Je me souviens quand je suis entré à Sukpak. J'avais un peu peur de mon adaptation à mon nouveau poste en tant que stock controller, parce que j'étais jeune et, par expérience, j'avais appris que c'est difficile de se faire entendre. Mais très vite, j'ai appris le boulot et j'ai beaucoup grandi avec l'aide de mes collègues et soutien de mon équipe. Pour moi, cela reste mon expérience la plus mémorable.

Our move from the 3rd floor to a beautifully designed new office on the 5th floor, Rogers House.
My story: ''My journey with Rogers Group began in April 2006, and it has been an incredible experience of growth, connection, and family. When I first joined, I thought I was just working, but I didn't realize I was building lifelong relationships and being part of a supportive community that genuinely cares for each other. It all started at Cerena Group in Trianon, where I worked in the HR department under the leadership of Mr. Bertrand Abraham. After a year, I moved to Rogers House, joining the HR team with Mr. Manish Bundhun as Chief Human Resources Executive. In 2008, I had the opportunity to be among those who moved to our new head office, where I worked in the Communication Department, coordinating our monthly newsletter 'Network' and our prestige magazine 'Presence,' while also collaborating with the Finance Department on publishing our Abridged Results. In August 2013, I transitioned to Rogers Capital Technology Services Ltd (formerly EIS Ltd) as an HR Officer. It was a significant change, and soon after, in November 2013, my life took an unexpected turn when my husband passed away after a brief illness. I was devastated! But I will never forget the love, support and compassion I received from my Rogers family. Mr. Kabir Ruhee, my then-Managing Director, reassured me during my difficult time, saying, "In life, your health comes first, then your family, and third your work. Go take care of your husband and family. They need you now, and we will wait for you." Those words gave me the strength I needed. Our Group CEO, Mr. Philippe Espitalier Noël, called me in person to show his sympathy and Mr. Manish Bundhun and my colleagues collected funds as a sign of their care. I was deeply moved by their actions, and for which I am forever grateful. In 2017, I faced another challenging time, battling depression. Thanks to my family, friends, colleagues, and unwavering faith in God, I overcame this phase. Despite my struggles, in 2018, I was promoted to Human Capital Business Partner for our Technology sector. However, recognizing my health limitations, I requested a reduction in responsibilities to avoid the stress that might trigger a relapse. In 2019, I transitioned to the role of Office Administrator, overseeing facilities across five floors and leading a team of 17 administrative staff. I also had the opportunity to coach them in customer service, grooming, and personal development, thanks to the support of my former boss, Mr. Fabrice Baillache. My passion for sustainability led to a new role in 2022 as Sustainability and Facilities Officer, where I focused on impactful initiatives like supporting NGOs, uplifting women, and collaborating with Junior Achievement Mascareignes and the Fam-Unie Foundation to foster community growth and empower women. Currently, I serve as the Sustainability Champion and Vice-Chairperson on the Health & Safety Committee, demonstrating my dedication to corporate responsibility and employee well-being. My past involvement with our Welfare Committee also speaks to my commitment to a positive workplace culture. I would like to thank Ms. Diya Kinnoo, our Head of HR, for her trust and belief in me. On a happier note, I met my current husband at work back in 2014; we were both working at EIS Ltd, and we married in 2018. Balancing my professional journey at Rogers with my personal life, I have found immense joy and fulfillment. Today, I am a proud mother of a 23-year-old son completing his first degree and an 11-year-old stepdaughter already in college. At Rogers, placing PEOPLE at the heart of our business is what drives our success, and I believe that every team member brings a unique contribution. I have a strong sense of belonging to Rogers Capital and strive to embody our values of Agility, Excellence, and Pioneering in my daily work. I look forward to expanding my knowledge and fostering a culture of sustainability across Rogers Capital. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks. To my former colleagues: Meera Gourdeale, Mary Muthusawmy, and Sandra Lam from Rogers and Company Limited To all my colleagues from ex-EIS Ltd, now Rogers Capital Technology To all my current colleagues at Rogers Capital, particularly those I work closely with: The Rogers Capital HR Team, Jaivina Bauljeewon, Arunah Sookur-Rambarun, Karishma Beharee, Roselle Eleonore, Jayshree Bhikoo, Vinessa Ramsamy, and Sharmila Teelwah. To all my RCMS colleagues on the 2nd floor To the Sustainability Team: Bandish Augnoo, Priscille Noël, and Mickael Appaya To the Property Management Team: Annabelle Koenig, Natheraje Nellapin, and the Security Team. Cheers to all, and HAPPY 125TH ANNIVERSARY TO ROGERS! GOD BLESS!

One day when I was alone, I just joined the company. I have got the opportunity to manage the guests alone and they were very appreciating the service. That made me very proud of myself.
