The human touch in training – Mentorship, experiential learning & soft skills by Srinivasa Rao, Cluster Director HR, Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Bengaluru Embassy
/At Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn Manyata, we know that while technology helps us work smarter, it is the human connection that truly sets hospitality apart. In a world that’s constantly changing, training our teams means more than just ticking boxes—it’s about building confidence, character, and a genuine sense of purpose.
Mentorship is at the heart of our culture. It is not just about guidance, it is about sharing experiences, offering support, and helping each other grow. Experiential learning brings our training to life, letting team members step into real situations, learn by doing, and grow through every challenge.
And then there are the soft skills—the empathy, communication, and emotional intelligence that turn everyday service into unforgettable moments. These are the skills that bind us as a team and leave lasting impressions on our guests.
As we move forward, we remain deeply committed to training that puts people first—because in the end, it’s not just about what we do, but how we make people feel that truly matters.
