The Radisson Academy, Radisson Hotel Group’s leading learning and development hub, held its first Live edition in the city of Lagos during the week.

The objective of Radisson Academy is to create a highly productive learning environment that ensures team members across various levels are engaged and have the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their roles and adapt to the evolving market demands.

Radisson Academy thus offers highly impactful, continuous learning opportunities and customized training programs on business and personal development topics, accessible via Radisson Academy Online, Radisson Academy Live, Radisson Academy on the Job, Radisson Academy Virtual, and Radisson Academy Certifications.

The Managing Director, Africa, Radisson Hotel Group, Sandra Kneubuhler, said: “At Radisson Hotel Group, we believe that we grow talent, and talent grows us.’

“This principle is the foundation of our culture, driving our commitment to developing our Moment Makers. Our team members in Nigeria are notably dynamic and dedicated, contributing to a robust performance culture. We recognise their potential and are committed to motivating our talent and investing in their personal growth, equipping them to become even more effective leaders.”

Since 2019, when Radisson Hotel Group laid the groundwork for Radisson Academy with a focus on its learning development modules, the Group has worked closely with business leaders and provided new dedicated trainings, ranging from leadership and people management skills, to hotel operational skills, as well as functional capacity-building in areas such as M&E, Sales, Revenue Management, Financial Accounting and more.

“We are excited to host these live workshops aimed at increasing African participation in Africa, which will provide comprehensive training and talent development for our diverse team in Nigeria,” states Ahmed Raza, District Director Nigeria, Radisson Hotel Group.

Looking ahead, Radisson Academy remains dedicated to equipping team members with key skills to grow professionally, boosting their potential through customized training programs from the very start and creating a strong performance culture, all of which play a major role in facilitating career development at all levels across the company.
