Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain opened a new Internet lounge for its employees living in the accommodation within the hotel compound.
The lounge has been specifically set up to provide employees with a 24-hour complimentary Internet facility. Since most of the employees are expatriate workers, the Internet is very useful to them to keep in touch with families back home. The entire management team attended the event where employees cheered the first users Clifton Pinto and Lijish Lijish as they surfed the web.
Chocolates, vegetables, groceries and juices … the Mövenpick Hotel Bahrain opened a new grocery and toiletries shop for its employees within the staff accommodation. The shop management has been outsourced but is a big boon to all employees. General manager Jan Kaiser said: “The shop will greatly help employees by saving a trip to the city centre at odd hours after work to buy bare necessities, toiletries and household products.”
More than 100 people attended the “Boost-up Your Line” training programme organised at the Mövenpick Hotel by Gulf Training Solutions. The programme was held at the hotels’ Al Murjan ballroom and attendees included representatives from several leading companies in Bahrain.

Bob stressed on the bottom line “Customers don’t care about how much you know, but want to know how much you care.”
