The Mentor Mentee Programme is designed to identify and develop high potential talents to become General Managers of the Rezidor Hotel Group. This supports the company's culture of promotion from within to meet the succession planning needs of our growing company. Since the launch of the programme in 2000 we have promoted more than fifty General Managers from within.
General Managers are selected to be Mentors for their extensive experience in their role, their strong leadership qualities and their motivation and ability to develop others.
A Mentee Candidate is a Department Head who has had significant experience in several departments in one or more hotels, and who has had budget and personnel responsibilities. They have demonstrated their strengths as a leader and manager in maximising business and people performance.
During the 12 months of the programme, the Mentee is expected to expand his/her knowledge of company operations to gain experience in a wide variety of situations and to strengthen the leadership and management style.
At the end of the programme, the Mentee is expected to have the competence and confidence to take on the first General Manager position. A suitable hotel matching the individual strengths will be offered; the mentoring support continues during the initial phase of the first appointment. The assignment of a leadership role is at the sole discretion of the company and will always remain performance-based.
