Centara Hotels & Resorts has always been active in promoting the advancement of their staff and want to further clarify and extend their existing package into a transparent, innovative, highly-accessible, multi-level training program designed to provide each staff member with precisely what they need to learn to reach the next level of their professional development. With a definite roadmap towards succession planning and talent development schemes, Centara paves the way for passionate, committed staff to grow into supervisory and managerial capacities.
As a major part of the overall vision for the direction of Centara, a new Corporate Director of Training & Talent Development has been appointed, Mr. Nithivut Chanthai. With more than 7 years of experience in training and a quality educational background, Chanthai joins the Centara family after working with the parent company, Central Group – People Capability Development department as the Training Manager. The experience and knowledge of the Central Group provides Chanthai great insight into the Centara structure, which has allowed him to quickly become a vital part in the on-going Human Resource initiatives.
The will and curiosity to learn often starts with a little inspiration, so the company has provided a dedicated space – an ‘Inspiration Room’ – where staff can seek out new trends, ideas and motivating suggestions daily; plus gain insight into Centara’s values as a corporate entity.
Analysing the needs of the individual is also an important starting point. A full analysis of each person is undertaken before Centara HR staff develops a training plan and progress calendar. Each plan seeks to incorporate both ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ skill training, with a particular emphasis on maintaining a healthy ‘work-life balance’, assisted through wellness programs that can be implemented at home if desired.
