The Steigenberger Academy has launched a series of digital crash courses specifically geared to employees in the hotel industry. The training program “Refresh your Hotel Skills” is to focus on essential know-how in the hotel industry, such as an understanding of front office, kitchen, housekeeping, and service operations. There will also be more detailed updating training dealing with aspects including hotel revenue management, upselling, and the right way to handle guest complaints. “Refresh your Hotel Skills” aims to support employees in their daily work by boosting their competence in various areas.
Effective May 1, 2022, Marie-Noële Schwartzmann will become the new Chief Development Officer of Deutsche Hospitality. She succeeds Claus-Dieter Jandel who has decided at his own request to retire after more than 40 years with the company.
The Steigenberger Academy has returned to the DH Family, and Deutsche Hospitality has thus become the only hotel group in Europe to have its own state-recognised initial and continuing training venue. Ulrich Bensel, CHRO of Deutsche Hospitality, will become Managing Director of the Steigenberger Academy. Responsibility for day-to-day running will remain with Bettina Wolf. Deutsche Hospitality has taken the Steigenberger Academy back in house with the aims of countering the shortage of skilled workers within the sector and of offering even more attractive continuing training opportunities to its approximately 11,000 employees. Located in Bad Reichenhall, the academy boasts a proud tradition which stretches back for more than 70 years. It formed part of Steigenberger Hotels AG during the period from 1972 to 2011.
