Marriott executives say ‘mahalo’ to world
On a global sales mission, 120 Marriott International (NYSE: MAR) executives visited more than 200 of the company’s most loyal customers in 17 cities in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America, to say “thank you” for their continued support. A similar mission in Asia and Australia is planned for mid-March.
Marriott operates the Kaua’i Marriott Resort & Beach Club and the under-construction Marriott’s Waiohai Beach Club on this island, and seven properties on Maui and O’ahu.
Human resources solutions are offered
Coaching for Optimal Performance is the next course in a series of half-day classes offered by Human Resources Solutions, a Honolulu firm contracted by the Employment and Training Fund Office of the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations.
It is set for this Thursday, Feb. 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Kaua’i Electric conference room near Kukui Grove Center. Participants will learn to take more active roles in evaluating individual and collective performance, with suggestions offered for generating more group-member commitment to improve results, and mutually planning and carrying out ways to work smarter.
