Parogon Group has announced a £200k investment in staff training and development.
It revealed this investment will be put towards considered hires and by signing up to a new training provider that allows the organisation to offer “extensive” e-learning as well as digitising the teams’ development.
The group has also said it has made three new hires including a learning and development manager to focus on staff development at every level.
In addition to new hires in the roles of front of house skills trainer and back of house skills trainer, Chris Morgan has recently taken on the role of group learning and development manager for Parogon, with a focus on supporting its staff to “fulfil their potential”.
With 12 years’ experience in the leisure and hospitality industry, the firm said Morgan has worked his way up through the business, showing a “natural talent” for engaging with his team.
Iain Crosby, Parogon Group’s head of operations, said: “Technology has a key part to play in the evolution of the Parogon Group, ensuring that we offer the best customer experience time and time again. As such, it was important to us to create the same positive experience for our staff throughout their training and development.
“This new platform encourages a combination of practical in-house training as well as vital online learning. It also allows us to track the training progress of every venue and individual through a central hub which, with over 500 team members, is vital.”
Chris added: “Having already worked for the organisation for a number of years, I know how team-focused and forward-thinking the Parogon Group is, so I’m delighted to be playing a key part in helping team members across the business to develop their skills.”
