what we offer: training & development

Westin succeeds when our associates succeed. It’s our mission to help all of our associates realize their true potential and achieve more than they ever imagined possible. We understand that not everyone comes to Westin with all the skills they need to be successful. We feel if we hire people with the right attitude, we can teach the skills. By providing dozens of training courses and developmental opportunities, we not only secure the continued growth of our hotels and resorts, but help pave the way for those interested in moving beyond the status quo.

more learning opportunities
Sure, we have courses on how to clean rooms and run the computer at the front desk. But beyond the basics, Westin provides a variety of unexpected learning opportunities as well. 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 and many of our hotels offer specialized training, such as basic language skills. Westin is proud to offer these plus a host of other resources and will continue to develop programs to improve and advance the performance of our people. After all, our associates are what make Westin great!

more support
To better ensure your career growth and satisfaction, we’ve created a set of world-class performance management tools. As a Westin associate, your performance is nurtured and evaluated throughout the year and developmental plans are continuously created and updated. Your advancement is seen as a joint effort between you and your manager. And each year, we make a point to evaluate our talent to ensure that our associates are happily thriving within the organization.

more chances for promotion
Westin associates are encouraged to seek out and apply for promotional opportunities that interest them. We support moving from one department to another, picking up different skills and knowledge to become more well-rounded and experienced. We also encourage our associates to look at other hotels in the Starwood family. Being a part of such a large company, there is no limit to how far our associates can go.
