Talent management and retention are a priority for us, so we encourage the growth of our employees. We prioritize internal recruitment and invest in continuous training for our teams.
Fulfilling one of our fundamental pillars that encourages and promotes career growth and progression for all employees, we promote internal recruitment by advertising all open positions, providing growth opportunities for employees.
We promote Task Force Teams both nationally and internationally and publish open positions in all our hotels in Portugal and around the world on an internal platform, allowing internal applications.
Yes, however, each development program has selection criteria that candidates must meet.
A Task Force means providing support to a hotel that needs reinforcements for a limited period of time. Occasionally, Task Forces are opened in hotels around the world during peak occupancy periods or hotel openings.
These Task Forces are announced to employees, and they can voluntarily apply. During this period, they will be relieved of their duties at their home hotel, and when the Task Force is completed, they return to their regular positions. It’s a time for sharing and acquiring multicultural knowledge.

“I joined the group in 2002 as an intern at the reception of the Hotel Tivoli Sintra, where I currently work as Hotel Manager, now under the NH Sintra Centro brand. Participating in the Becoming a GM program was a very enriching opportunity. It allowed me to get to know other operational realities, share experiences and knowledge with colleagues from other nationalities. Above all, it gave me the opportunity to grow and become a more complete professional, which today allows me to carry out the function of Hotel Manager with a better performance. “

“I have been part of the Minor Group since 2018, the year I joined the team at the Tivoli Marina Portimão Algarve Resort, currently NH Marina Portimão Resort, as F&B Manager. Over these 5 years, and my 15-year career, I have had the opportunity to have several enriching experiences in the F&B area and in the hotel sector. In order to achieve my great professional goal that I have set myself since the beginning of my career, which is to be General Manager, I seek daily to enrich my knowledge in other operational areas through sharing and involvement with the other departments. During this last year, the Rebranding process of the hotel for the NH Resorts brand, in which I was involved, helped with this professional growth in several areas and the possibility of joining the next edition of the Becoming a GM program, starting in September, will be undoubtedly another big step in my career. The anxiety and enthusiasm are huge, and I can’t wait to start the Career Progression program, which I know will be a big step in my professional development.”

“I have had the pleasure to join the NH Collection Liberdade team in 2018 as a Guest Relations Manager. During these 5 years I have met wonderful people who have allowed me to grow professionally and assume the quality and hotel operations management of NH Collection Liberdade. Additional enriching experiences include the merge of NH Hotels Group and Minor Hotels as well as a hotel management change.
Hospitality has been my passion since a little girl and leading a hotel team is my career goal. Being able to be part of the Becoming a GM program 2023/2024, is very exhilarating and motivating, being able to learn and grow thanks to the amazing and knowledgeable professionals within the company. “

“Italian and with all my professional experience acquired in my country, in 2017 I decided to leave my beloved Italy and take my first work experience abroad as a receptionist at the NH Collection Palácio de Castellanos in Salamanca.
When I decided to apply for the Crossing Borders program, I was looking for a similar experience, trusting in advance that it would be equally enriching for me as a person and as a professional. In this case, I headed to Portugal, and the Tivoli Lagos Algarve Resort was, and is, my host hotel for the three months of the program and I couldn’t be happier.
Moving from a small urban hotel to a resort wasn’t easy, but thanks to my new colleagues I was able to integrate perfectly into the big Tivoli family. I was able to adapt to the new place, learn a new way of working, very different from mine, learning to deal with situations very different from what I am used to and I also managed to learn a new language, very important for me as a professional in the world of hospitality.
This experience impacted me in a very positive way and I would like to recommend it to all my colleagues who have the opportunity and desire to participate.”
