From 31 January 2013 to 30 January 2015, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore will be encouraging local and foreign (work permit holders) employees to attend cross training so that they can be deployed to other departments within the Hotel to assist with the manpower needs.
Senior Vice President (Asia), Millennium Copthorne International, Mr Lim Boon Kwee says, “
The Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel is delighted to receive the endorsement from MOM and STB to participate in this pilot initiative. We are confident that the JFP initiative will help to equip our employees with more skills and to improve productivity and morale at the workplace. This will also help us to manage our resources more effectively. Our employees are excited about the opportunities arising from this initiative and have already approached our Human Resource Department to express their interest in attending the relevant multi-task training.”
In addition, we have also obtained a separate MOM’s approval to deploy our foreign workers across our five fully-owned hotels. This will further promote greater efficiency, synergy and productivity.” he added.
