a) Training new employees program: - Training Design:
Step of training – In House Training - Training Need Analysis (TNA):
This method offers a wealth of knowledge and insight into the hotel and its amenities.
When a new employee checks into a hotel as a guest, they become familiar with the
amenities, policies, and technological resources available there.
New starters have opportunity to assess following key point while they stay at the hotel:
Efficiency and customer service of front desk.
Cleanness of the hotel, and to learn more about room appliances such as using air
controller system, safe and TV.
Learn more about restaurant and etc. - Induction Training:
Next three days, they attend to induction course. They will be given an employee
handbook at the outset, and the course book will contain general information. In the
Induction training, there are two different employee types:
1) Employees who have previously worked for the company and filled new openings are regarded as new hires.
2) New hire with no prior employment history with the company.
Additionally, previous employees completed this training in one day whereas a new
employee took three days to complete it. The following tasks are part of the induction training:
1) They will be verbally briefed on their plans for the upcoming three days.
2) After getting to know one another in the course, each participant introduces
themselves and provides a brief bio.
3) Presentation concerning the following: History of the company, who they were
yesterday, and mission and ideals of the company, what they need to accomplish.
4) What advantages they may receive and the policies of the company.
5) Basic hotel information, such as parking costs and Internet access options, should
be improved so that staff members are better prepared to respond to questions from guests.
6) Tours of the building provide an opportunity to learn more about its layout,
including where each department's offices are located in relation to restaurants,
fitness centers, public restrooms, rooms on various levels, and staff areas like the canteen and staff restrooms.
7) It also includes legal training requirements including introductory fire safety
instruction, workplace health and safety, and bomb awareness.
8) Trainings also help employees become more proficient in areas like customer
service, telephone etiquette, up-selling, food safety, and business brand standards
like picking up the phone after three rings, improving interactions with customers
as you approach them, among others. -
The methods described are used to complete all of these tasks: 1) Group conversation 2) Video clips 3) Presentation 4) Examples provided by guests
5) Through game learning methods
At the end of the training, the trainer evaluates the students using questionnaires. They
separate the trainees into different groups and allow them to compete to answer the
question. Then, after reviewing the entire induction training program, all learners are
asked for their opinion. The last step is to direct new hires to their supervisor for
additional training. The basic goal of induction training is to arm new hires with all the
knowledge and abilities they need to function as effectively within a company as their
coworkers do. It might include details like how to use the restrooms, how to enter and
exit the office, and how to use skills that are relevant to your employment. Additionally,
this training provides new hires with information of the firm, including its mission,
values, organizational structure, and policies and incentives. -
The following advantages of oriented training for an organization:
1) Effective job training for new hires, which improves the working environment for both coworkers and managers.
2) Reduces the expense of damages caused by an error made by a new employee. 3) Decreases employee turnover
Depending on how much knowledge you want to give the new employee, the length of
the training varies depending on the organization. Marriott is aware that most workers
don't want to continue working in entry-level positions like housekeeping. In order to
handle a wide range of tasks, Marriott trains its staff and regularly switches them out for
new ones. Employees are given the chance to discover the department in which they
enjoy working the most. They are prodded to prepare for advancement. The objective is
to maintain employees' enthusiasm in their work and in working for Marriott. Each
hourly employee at Marriott receives 15 minutes of training every day. The training
covers the fundamental information and skill areas that employees need to acquire in
order to perform their duties, such as buying, operating rooms, and cooking. - 5W

5 Step of Training Process for Training Development
Some significant training programs for employees held by Marriot:
MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORY TRAINING: 1) InMotion!
Uses practical experience to teach supervisors about various hotel departments and help
them gain a deeper understanding of the industry, which helps prepare them for managerial duties. 2) Get On Board
This training opportunity is intended to introduce new managers to International Lodging
who have been hired both within and externally. The manager "new to Marriott
International" experiences and learns Marriott's culture, regulations, and procedures for
International Lodging through a variety of channels while establishing the required connections. 3) IT
Training in Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Excel is also being carried out. LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS 1) Facilitator Lead Programs
Marriott International's Core Competencies (Leadership, Managing Execution, Building
Relationships, Generating Talent and Organizational Capacity, Learning and Applying
Personal Expertise, and Business/Functional Results) are correlated with the three levels of the programs. 2) Property Strategic Planning
The hotel leadership team is the target audience for this two-day training, which is held
30 days before a new Marriott International hotel opens.
3) Courtyard by Marriott International University
General managers and assistant managers are able to enroll in this program, which is
exclusive to Courtyard hotels. It is intended to concentrate on understanding the brand's
positioning, product and service standards, pricing strategies and food and beverage.
4) Training On-Property Programs
For hotel managers providing Passports to Success, In the Beginning, or other on-
property training programs for hourly staff, a workshop is developed. 5) Effective Training Skills
Co-facilitation approaches, stages of experiential learning, measurement, and a greater
comprehension of learning styles are all key components of both the workshop and certification processes.
6) Virtual Leadership Training Program
The VLE was able to boost productivity and cost savings for Marriott as well as engage
managers in an experience that was "cutting edge". Managers could participate from the
hotel from which they worked by going to a ballroom and participating in a group with
their colleagues. Conversations gave participants the ability to network with people in a virtual environment. 7) Safety Training
A comprehensive safety training program that addresses accident prevention for
housekeeping and kitchen employees should include the proper use of food preparation
equipment, chemical use, and safe lifting techniques. Guests should be aware of where
emergency exits are located and where they should check in with employees after an evacuation. TRAINING EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT 1) Career Development
The goal of career development is to align an employee's personal objectives with the
demands of the firm. The HR department and the individual should jointly be responsible for career development. 2) Leadership Development
An individual's capacity to lead others is strengthened by leadership training. This kind of
initiative is not just for people in positions of authority. Giving teams in an organization
training in leadership skills can improve team performance. 3) Management Development
Management development improves the capacity of persons in management positions to
carry out the duties connected with organizing, planning, and executing organizational changes. 4) Supervisor Development
Supervisors must make the shift from performing work to overseeing the work of others
in a company's hierarchy. The task of developing programs to aid this transition falls to the HR department.
