Mandarin Oriental Jakarta, Management Team Building July 24 – 25, 2009
















“To delight and satisfy our colleagues at all time!” That’s was the theme when we visited Lido Lakes for our Management Team Building and what a fantastic two days we had! Our colleagues participated in a whole range of fun team builiding activities which really focused on the “working together as colleagues” and understanding the importance in welcoming our new colleagues to the Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta family.

That was a great moment for all of us in Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta to get together in a different yet exciting atmosphere and as break from our usual busy routine in Jakarta.

The agenda included team and personal challenges, a talent show, paintballing and raft race. And yes we all got very wet!!!!

Each participant showed a remarkable commitment toward the success of the event and by participating in all the activities – even if we were sometimes a little frightened – Flying Fox…….!! Anyway let the pictures speak for themselves and I think you will agree that the smiling faces says it all.

On The Job Training Technique (OJT) July 13 to July 18, 2009





















What an exciting session it was! Our colleagues went through a 3 day training course where they learnt how to conduct a proper ‘one on one’ training session and how to professionaly deliver it according to Mandarin Oriental Standard.

The program is designed to support departmental Trainers who have a responsibility for delivering practical on-job training sessions, and who have the commitment and personal attributes to be an on-job skills trainer. This skill in particular is very important and it will have tremendous benefits in preparing our colleagues for opening the hotel in October


Each participant showed a remarkable commitment toward the success of the program with their enthusiastic effort and attention in all parts of the session

Thank you to Norman Chua our lead trainer for conducting the OJT session in Mandarin Oriental, Jakarta.
