Centara Hotels and Resorts commitment to sustainability is
continuing to grow with the group currently having 10 properties
participating in the EarthCheck Certified Program. The Groups long
term partnership with EarthCheck, the world's leading
certifier of sustainable travel and tourism operators, has been
expanded with the group recently conducting a tailored 'EarthCheck
Coordinator Training Workshop" for all hotels and resorts
participating in EarthCheck Certified program.
Facilitated by the EarthCheck Training Academy (ETA), the
workshop aimed to up-skill all EarthCheck Coordinators and Training
Managers and helped provide a deeper understanding of the most
effective ways to embed sustainability best practice and policies
across departments. The course included a mock audit, team training
exercises and group discussions as well as insight into practical,
cost effective sustainability solutions.
"If organisations are to survive and prosper in the modern world
of rapid change, they need to be more flexible, faster-moving and
faster-learning than before." says ETA's Josh Sattler, Manager,
Sustainability Capacity Building "Their ability to do this rests
upon the abilities of their workforce to have these characteristics
- hence the value of training. If individuals are able to learn,
develop and change, then so can the organisations. Providing
training for employees not only helps them develop their skills and
knowledge, but it is also motivational and a building block to
organisational success."
