Anantara Partners Skillsoft, Ashridge and Cornell to Launch E-Learning Programme

Anantara has launched a comprehensive E-Learning programme, creating new career enhancing and development opportunities for its current and future employees across all its hotels and regions of operation.

Anantara has partnered with three well known providers - Skillsoft, Ashridge and E-Cornell, all known for their excellence in providing educational platforms within the industry - to support the different phases of its newly enhanced development programm.

The development programme incorporates different learning journeys, each supported by E-Learning to provide a blended learning approach to facilitate the development of high potential team members. Each learning journey is competency based including goals on service excellence, key milestones, classroom activities and graduation at the completion of the journey. Each participant is allocated their own dedicated coach, who is a senior within the team or property they work in.

Hotel General Managers now have the opportunity to participate in tailor-made E-Learning courses through E-Cornell, with the aim to improve and fine tune their level of competency requirements to enable them to maximise their business operations and personal achievements.

Examples of the E-Learning courses offered to General Managers through E-Cornell include: Managing Strategic Change; Creating Value and Competitive Advantage in the Hospitality Industry; and Creating Service Cultures.

Caroline Stevens, Vice President Human Resources, said, “Anantara is growing fast and we need to be able to keep up with the talent requirements that come hand-in-hand with this. By adding this new E-Learning capability into our already successful Associate development programme, we are confident that we are putting a solid and reliable process in place to help us prepare and build for Anantara’s future talent requirements, whilst demonstrating a significant investment in our current and future Anantara Associates.”

Mark Eletr, General Manager Anantara Rasananda, commented on his experience participating in the E-Cornell courses, “I found the courses I have undertaken so far very useful and also enjoyable. The flow, pace, interaction levels and the content are all highly useful and the instructors have been very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the way the topics were presented within the context of our industry, so concepts were quite easy to grasp and ultimately very strategic to apply. To be honest, after doing the first course I was looking forward to the next.”
