Reach new heights

The Forbes Travel Guide Star Service is part of the Forbes Travel Guide Service Excellence training programme developed by MHRA and Forbes Travel Guide. It consists of three on demand lessons.

The Forbes Travel Guide Service Excellence on-line training programme targets anyone involved in hospitality service from all departments (concierge, front-office, spa, housekeeping, bar and lounge, pool and beach and restaurants) including front-line staff and managers. This programme reviews foundational standards of exceptional service with the aim to establish trust and put guests at ease especially in these particular circumstances caused by the COVID 19 pandemic. Accordingly, the programme is designed to solidify the skills that are essential to creating consistent and intuitive service. Our certified trainers are highly experienced service professionals who offer extensive knowledge of best practices defined by Forbes Travel Guide and gathered from their experiences training in hospitality worldwide. Amongst other matters during these sessions new service practices will be discussed, including communicating effectively while wearing a mask and making guests more comfortable with procedures such as temperature checks.

Cultural diversity can be a great positive asset in the workplace. But in many cases we are not always sure how to interact most effectively with those whose values and behaviours differ from our own.

How well employees can interact with colleagues from different cultural backgrounds, adapt to new multicultural working environments can be fundamental to how a company performs in local and international markets. In today’s business world, an increasing number of businesses in Malta consider intercultural skills to be a vital ingredient for success.

With the growing importance of integration on the business agenda and the fact that Malta now has a multicultural workforce, the purpose of this Award is to introduce employees from different cultural and ethnic backgrounds to understanding what it means to work in a multicultural environment.

Choosing this Cultural Integration course as part of a professional development will give participants the skills and techniques to thrive in multicultural environments and build fruitful working relationships in Malta.
