An inspiring guest lecture brings classroom theory straight into the fast-paced reality of hospitality!

On November 11, 2026, we had the great pleasure of participating in a wonderful guest lecture conducted by Ilze Strauta, Cluster Training Manager at Radisson Hotel Group. Her lecture topic, “From Theory to the Floor: How Strategic HRM Perspectives Shape Training and Development in Hospitality,” took place within the framework of our Human Resource Management study course.

As a true hospitality giant operating in over 120 countries, Radisson Hotel Group sets a global benchmark for service excellence, brand culture, and operational consistency. Understanding how a multinational hospitality leader strategically designs training frameworks, aligns employee development with business goals, and fosters talent retention offers an invaluable masterclass for future professionals. Bridging academic human resource models with real-world corporate strategy equips students with the exact competencies needed to lead, empower, and inspire teams on the floor.

A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Strauta for sharing her time, expertise, and invaluable industry insights with us!
