Management Development Programme

Our senior management team participates in the Flynn Hotels Management Development Programme, accredited by QQI, which focuses on essential management skills to lead teams effectively. This program includes training on areas such as team development, performance management, conflict resolution, and department-specific skills. This initiative has been highly successful, opening doors for those who seek to advance in their departments.
