What We Offer: Training & Development
We succeed as a company only when each of our associates succeeds. So it
should come as no surprise that Starwood offers its associates dozens of
training courses and developmental opportunities.
Learning Opportunities
Sure, we have created courses on how to clean rooms and how to run the computer
at the front desk. But it does not stop there! Starwood offers a variety of
learning opportunities that you might not expect. Associates at Starwood can
gain valuable computer skills that can be applied to many areas of their life.
Supervisory and managerial skills are developed through a combination of formal
courses and on-the-job mentoring. Personal effectiveness and teamwork are
encouraged through self-evaluation and exploration. Many hotels and resorts
offer specialized training to their associates, such as basic language skills.
The things you learn as an associate at Starwood will give you the tools you
need to be successful.
Your Performance
In support of your success, Starwood has also created a set of world-class
performance management tools. As a Starwood associate, your performance is
evaluated throughout the year and developmental plans are continuously created
and updated. Your development and success is seen as a joint effort between you
and your manager. Each year, Starwood evaluates its talent to ensure that its
associates are growing within the organization.
Promotional Opportunities
As they grow, associates are encouraged to look for promotional opportunities
that interest them. We support moving from one department to another as a great
way to become more well-rounded, and even encourage our associates to look at
other hotels in the Starwood family. Being such a large company, there is
no limit to how far our associates can go.
