Team Building Activities for Front Office Employees

On March 20, 2015, I conducted couple of Team Building Activities for our Front Office Department employees in one of our banquet venue. 

We divided the participants into two teams to perform the tasks separately. Two activities we played, one "Blind Drawing" and second was "Building Paper Bridge".

The learnings from first activity was to know about effective communication skills, coordination skills and understanding the team better. 

The learning from second activity were Leadership, Planning, Coordination, Time Management, Achieving Target, Creativity and Team Work.

Participants learned a lot from both the activities about soft skills which they perform at their daily work. 

To maintain the team balance we have added few trainees to the team of Front Office, so as to increase the team size to perform effectively.

Here are some pictures of the activities...

Town Hall Meet @ Radisson (March 2015)

Like every month, this month also we conducted the Town Hall Meet for our employees in one of our banquet hall. This month, we did something different, we had given the responsibility to conduct the Town Hall Meet to House Keeping Department. 

To break the monotonous way of conducting the same, we thought of having it bit different. And of course, the credit goes to Mr. Banerjee, our General Manager.

Imagining in different context, our House Keeping Team did special to have a group performance in form of dance by H/K associates, and the truth is some of the associates are just new, joined our hotel just a week back. They fully anticipated and performed in front of the entire audience.

Kudos to them.....

The hidden talents have come out from the department.....

Here are some moments of the Town Hall Meet of March' 2015.

The Oriental Blossom does it again...

It was 2011-12, when The Oriental Blossom, Specialty Chinese Restaurant of our hotel was given with an award of "Best Chinese Restaurant" in Hyderabad by TIMES FOOD GUIDE. The moment was cherished with team members.

We maintained the specialty throughout the year and in 2012-13 we won the award again. Then it became focused for us to go for hat-trick, naturally we had to maintain the quality and service of food in our Oriental Blossom very high, and in 2013-14 we made Hat-Trick of receiving the "Best Chinese Restaurant" award by TIMES FOOD GUIDE.

We were on top of everything, but we did not loose our ground. We continuously maintain our standards high. We received a lot of guests' appreciation about our food in Chinese restaurant.

In this year too, we were in competition of winning the award and we did it. We got it again as the BEST CHINESE RESTAURANT award given by TIMES FOOD GUIDE in 2014-15 and this has been fourth time in a row.

The credit goes to the entire team of food and beverage of Radisson Hyderabad HITEC City.
