Over 70 key management leaders from the hotel group attended the annual Mövenpick Business Academy,which took place at Mövenpick Ibn Battuta Gate Hotel from 15th to 17th May . This three-day training programme consisted of five key workshops designed to further enhance business skills and develop key areas of leadership and innovation. Mövenpick president and CEO Oliver Chavy and senior VP human resources Craig Cochrane opened the latest edition of the company’s Business Academy.
“The Business Academy is a valuable training that continuously drives our commitment towards training and development, career progression and brings our key leaders together. This training is what sets Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts apart as one of the world’s leading and most progressive hospitality firms," Mövenpick VP talent & organisational development Peter Mitchell said.
