Empowering Talent Across South East Asia Pacific
With 36 hotels across six brands in 12 countries, Radisson Hotel Group continues to invest in local talent development in South East Asia Pacific (SEAP). In the first half of 2025, internal recruitment across SEAP hotels rose by 170% year-on-year, with 13 internal promotions to General Manager positions. The region also reported a 25% increase in female Heads of Department and a 40% rise in taskforce opportunities, enhancing cross-property learning and mobility.
Edina Szabo, Director, People & Culture, SEAP, Radisson Hotel Group, said: “Career Fest is about momentum and access. In SEAP we’re opening more doors, faster, so people can step into bigger roles with the right support. We’ve expanded taskforce assignments, grown cross-market exposure, and worked with our leaders to turn coaching into concrete moves. The result is real progress across the region, and we’re just getting started.”
