1 . WHAT’S NEW AT SHANGRI-LA ACADEMY ONLINE?

1.GLOBAL SECURITY ORIENTATION 2020 The safety and security of our guests is our priority. This course allows our colleagues to learn Shangri- La’s security principles, clarifying roles and responsibilities and providing specific instructions of actions to follow in case of a crisis.

This course is for all hotel and non- hotel colleagues.

It is part of the Balance Scorecard indicators and must be completed by October 31 st 2020 at the latest.

This program is available in 12 languages.

This course aims to raise awareness on interviewing skills for all hiring managers and HR colleagues. It describes the process before, during and after an interview, provides guidance on what questions to ask or avoid and covers the importance of representing Shangri-La when interviewing a candidate. This course is mandatory for all managers who are part interviewing candidates in hotels, HQ and regional offices. 2. HR INTERVIEWING SKILLS LEVEL 1

3. SECURITY AWARENESS FOR ROOMS

This course focuses on increasing security awareness for all rooms’ colleagues to be able to judge when an activity may be suspicious and to report it. This course is mandatory for: Managers on Duty, Front Office team members, Concierge Teams, Housekeeping teams and security offices and must be completed by August 31 st 2020.

The version in simplified Chinese will be released soon.

4. UNDERSTANDING FOOD ALLERGENS There are various types of food and ingredients that can cause allergic reactions potentially becoming a big issue for our guests. This course presents the foods that are most commonly associated to allergens, and presents scenarios to ensure the safety of our guests when taking guests orders and when handling food.

This course is mandatory for all direct food handlers and it is highly recommended for indirect food handlers.

5. INPUTTING ACTUALISED REVENUE INTO DELPHI

Once an event begins, any increase or reduction in expected revenue takes place in Opera, our company’s operating system, not Delphi. After taking this course you will learn how to update changes to catering and other hotel income in Delphi and understand how and when room block deviations are automatically handled.

This course contains two parts:

Inputting actualised revenue into FDC Delphi. Inputting actualised revenue into Server Delphi.

Both parts of this course is mandatory for all Event Management Colleagues and it is highly recommended for members of the Sales team.
