Management and Staff change roles Meeting Point Hotel Management Malta, organised a Christmas Staff Dinner on the 18th December for all staff from the three Meeting Point Hotels in Malta. The dinner took place at the LABRANDA Riviera Hotel & Spa main Mirasol Restaurant. The idea was that the Management will serve the Team Members present with food and beverages for the entire evening as a sign of recognition for their efforts throughout the year. It was also an occasion for all those present to have an experience of the buffet food being provided to guests and also to relay best wishes for the forthcoming festive period.
The event was very well attended and successful, whereby those Team Members that were present, and also those that were on duty and could not attend, participated in a raffle winning various prizes.

Sharing inspiring MP experiences Can you share with us a your experience in MP so far? I joined MP Hotels 14 months back as COO for Egypt based out of Makadi Hurghada, taking the lead to work with the team towards improving every operational aspect and process with a clear objective of being best in class. In parallel the role requires focus on expansion and identifying development opportunities for each of our hotel brands. We recently acquired a boutique resort in Salalah, Oman which I also look after. After completing a year I was promoted to CEO, and we are all looking forward to relocating to our new offices in El Gouna. How would you define your MP experience in one word? And why?
Wael Rashed CEO MPH Egypt & Oman

Sharing inspiring MP experiences Which do you consider the biggest challenges for MPH in your region? I think we have so many opportunities in developing our staff in Egypt with quality training and career path definition, finding the right partners as in hotel owners and developers, renovating our products fast to capitalize from the rate opportunities, drive rates to ensure successful hotel life cycle and associates retention. Can you share the most inspiring employee success story you have experienced in MPH? There are so many, we have great talent across many departments, we need to focus on middle management development to be the employer of choice and retain passionate talent. Mahmoud Hawash who is a senior in recreation department, is one of those inspiring middle management, he takes happiness of guests on the beach & pool as well as his associates happiness very seriously, always creative and in progressive mode, he is being promoted end of the month not only due to performance & appraisal, but also recommendation from his peers.
