Steps to be taken

 Before arrival at property

 Initial arrival at property
 Long-term measures
 My role as a Vita Futura trainee
Steps to take before
arriving at the property
 Research in steps taken at other properties
when Vita Futura was introduced there.
 Contact the vast network of Vita Futura
Alumni and leaders.
 Research and determine what Vita Futura
means to me and to Starwood. If one is
totally ignorant of what Vita Futura is, then
one cannot share with the other co-workers
its importance.
Initial steps upon arrival
at the property
 Have a discussion with my handler at the
property .
 During my introduction to the different
departments introducing myself as a Vita
Futura trainee.
 Welcoming questions about the program
and answering to the best of my abilities.
 It is important to explain the importance of
Vita Futura and its benefit to not just
Starwood as a whole but that particular
property as well.
Long term measures that
can be developed and put
into place
 Working together with the HR-
department on a presentation of Vita
Futura that can be incorporated into
the training and orientation programs
for new employees.
My role as a Vita Futura
Trainee
 To learn about managing from the many
departments and perspectives within hotels.
 To provide a new perspective on problem
solving.
 To have a greater understanding of the
interdependancy of departments.
 To become a future leader within Starwood.
Conclusion
 Communication is key.
 Keep an open attitude and share with
all my coworkers the opportunities
provided by Vita Futura.
 Encouraging those who show interest or
who are potential candidates to apply.
 Absorb all knowledge I can from those
around me.
