For nine months, beginning in October 2015, the managers of Meliá Italy underwent a “full immersion” course, deepening their awareness of general management themes that analyse the various company departments, and preparing themselves to guide new processes related to the company’s ambitious development plans. Once again, Meliá Hotels International is focusing on its talents and highlighting the theme of promoting and acknowledging internal resources as an essential factor for progress.
The team building activity on Friday 1 July at Meliá Milan saw the participants in the master’s compete in groups to prepare a menu with the help of Chefs Don Alfonso Iaccarino and Mario Crespi of Meliá Milan. After the preparations, the contestants served the meal to the jury and were subsequently assessed on the basis of how much each course was enjoyed.
Palmiro Noschese, Melià Hotels International Manager for Italy, thanked the partners in the project, Il Sole 24 Ore, Newton Management Innovation, and Ms Silvia Moretti, a company consultant in the tourism and hospitality sector, for the positive outcome of the training course that she personally promoted.
