We at InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort, organized the Republic Day Parade with Flag Hoisting by the General Manager in front of our team members and guests in house. 








A Great On-boarding session at ICCMR !!

Recently we have welcomed our newly joined team members through series of onboarding activities, one of them was undergoing the Orientation Program, which has been an integral part of any talent's journey.

Being a Talent Development Specialist, I have always realized that tapping on talent's skills, abilities and motivating them to focus on dream big in terms of making them feel to be with a reputed brand which grows it's talent within remains highly effective.

It was an onboarding session of three days with series of training and fun-filled activities the new joinees had undergone. 

Here are few sneak-peak moments...








A Great Moment with Mr. Vinay Jaswal !!

I had an wonderful day early this week meeting one of the great leader in our country, Mr. Vinay Jaswal, Regional Director, Human Resources, IHG. Recently he had been in Chennai Region for IHG hotel's visit and I was humbled and inspired to have interacted with him. With his three decade's of expertise and vast knowledge about the industry he influences the followers like me very softly.

His recent visit to InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort was for his first time. He loved the resort.

We had a great time seized to have leadership advises from him. Here are few glimpses captured in my camera...







Women's Day Celebration @ ICCMR

 It's a special day, no doubt, a day to celebrate Women being the strongest pillar to our society, to motivation, to walk together, to respect and to trust. Like the entire world, we also celebrated the International Women's Day 2022 with our talented female team members with series of activities.

Colleague's Farewell at ICCMR

 It is not even 3 months I am with the ICCMR when I have to bid farewell to one of my dearest colleague Suresh T.K, the Asst. IT Manager. The great part of him is he is moving to a bigger role and near to his hometown Kochi. 

He had been an wonderful person with always ready to help attitude; a happy go luck mode is always found in him. 

We bid his farewell on 25-March here at ICCMR by the leadership team with a quick get together and cake cutting ceremony.






A New Journey Begins.....

 It was almost one and half years I missed out to be with my favorite hospitality industry, as I could remember the days when I was contacted over a zoon call by the so called my own HR team an was informed that I was to be furloughed. It was an unexpected moment; a moment which should not come to anyone's life. I had to accept it by thinking it was as God's Plan.

Time moved on, I also moved on with my new assignment further in Hyderabad, joined with a facility management company heading HR and Training, but realized later that I am not the right fit for the company, as I can not tolerate the unethical practices.

Eventually my job search was on and I landed up in Chennai again after almost 4 years. I have just taken up an assignment in InterContinental Chennai Mahabalipuram Resort as Learning & Quality Manager, last year in December. 

It is a great Resort by the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) and the only Luxury resort managed by the brand in India.
