Background
Joy Island Maldives, a leading hospitality provider in the Maldives, faced challenges with team performance and operational efficiency. Despite having a talented team, the resort struggled with inconsistent service delivery, low staff morale, and ineffective management practices. The management team recognized the need for a structured training program to address these issues and enhance overall performance.
Solution
Joy Island Maldives partnered with Minds Hospitality to implement our tailored training programs across three key areas:
- Front Line Team Members: We introduced the “Guest’s Journey” program, focusing on customer service excellence, effective communication, and problem-solving skills. This program aimed to improve the quality of guest interactions and ensure a consistent service experience.
- Supervisors: The “Supervisory Skill Builder” program was rolled out to enhance leadership abilities, performance management, and team-building skills among supervisors. This training was designed to help supervisors lead more effectively and create a positive work environment.
- Managers: Our “Winning Managers” program was implemented to develop strategic planning, advanced leadership skills, and performance management techniques. This program aimed to empower managers to drive organizational growth and navigate changes effectively.
Implementation
The training programs were delivered through a combination of workshops, interactive seminars, and hands-on coaching sessions. Each program was customized to address the specific needs and challenges faced by Joy Island Maldives.
- Front Line Team Members participated in role-playing exercises and practical scenarios to improve guest interactions and service delivery.
- Supervisors engaged in leadership training, including simulations and group discussions, to refine their management techniques and team-building strategies.
- Managers attended strategic planning sessions and leadership workshops to enhance their decision-making skills and manage performance more effectively.
