LAST night the Travel Industry Mentor Experience launched a new “Gift of TIME” voucher for the industry to use as a reward experience for valued staff, loyal suppliers or industry customers.
An “investment bargain” at $1500, each voucher gives six months of professional personal mentoring.
Speaking at a TIME networking function, founder Penny Spencer said “we would like to encourage everyone in the travel and tourism industry…to consider investing in the future of their people”.
The second intake of nine Mentees are set to graduate next month, with a number of high profile organisations supporting the program and producing “significant benefits” for mentees and their employers, Spencer said.
Last night’s event included an inspirational presentation from high profile company director Anne Keating, whose extensive business career includes a stint as GM Australia for United Airlines in the 1990s, and now sees her as a non-executive director of major corporations including theme park operator Ardent Leisure.
