Renaissance Hotels & Autograph Collection Lead the Way as Company Inspires New Generation of Global Talent.
Sixteen participants representing eight countries and four Marriott International brands including JW Marriott Hotels, Marriott Hotels & Resorts, Renaissance Hotels, and Courtyard by Marriott gathered for an exclusive program at the Renaissance Bangkok Ratchaprasong in Thailand to learn what it takes to be a lifestyle leader in the hospitality space. Employees in the class took part in a rigorous application process. Nominated by their managers, the participating students were hand selected by senior leadership in the region based on their career aspirations and unique talent.
The two-day curriculum, inspired by the Renaissance Hotels brand and the Autograph Collection, focused on various aspects of the lifestyle hospitality category including culture, operations, design, marketing, and public relations. The course also included hands-on off-site learning and team-based exercises.
“As record growth continues in Asia, we understand that our people are our most valuable asset,” said Craig S. Smith, chief operations officer, Asia Pacific for Marriott International. “It is critical to craft an environment that supports their personal growth and provides them with the right tools to build a successful career. Lifestyle University is a significant example of the innovative techniques that Marriott is using to develop the right talent for the future.”
With the Bangkok workshop serving as the official pilot, Lifestyle University represents a first of its kind for Marriott International, with plans to expand the program globally over the next year.
“Globalization and the digital age have redefined the expectations of today’s traveler,” said Tina Edmundson, senior vice president of lifestyle brands for Marriott International. “Today’s consumers are more sophisticated than ever before. We know they view travel as an opportunity for enrichment and discovery. Our goal was to create a fun, exciting, and hands-on training program that helps prepare our talent to better serve guests by further developing their understanding of how to create a true lifestyle hospitality experience.”
