Keeping our Colleagues & Guests Safe
In preparation for the 2018 opening of Morpheus Hotel, the focus for Melco’s leadership was to deliver on our brand promise of creating memorable guest experiences. Our premium service would be achieved through:
hiring the best for attitude and potential: Melco’s hiring philosophy is to “hire for attitude, potential and image, and train on skills”
training to be the best: colleagues undertake a highly structured and systematic service training program aligned with our brand service standards
being committed to being the best: leadership that inspires commitment
In keeping with our hiring philosophy, we employed many people who didn’t have any previous hospitality experience. 70% of the team comprised new hires, and the remaining were internal transfers hired to fill a range of over 30 different job categories. The entire team was trained from the start according to our standards. Frontline colleagues completed the specially developed “Morpheus Story-Teller Certification Program” enabling them to talk about highlights of Morpheus. All Morpheus colleagues were offered the opportunity to stay at the hotel to experience first-hand the premium standard expected from them. Others acted as mystery shoppers, providing regular observation and feedback, to help our colleagues forge habits of exceptional service.
The dedication of our colleagues to a culture of excellence has garnered global recognition. Within two months of opening, the restaurant Alain Ducasse at Morpheus was recognized by the Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau. Within six months of opening, Morpheus was listed in TIME Magazine’s World’s Greatest Places. The 2020 Forbes Travel Guide (FTG) also honored the Morpheus Spa by naming it the FTG Spa of the Year. Morpheus is the first and only establishment in the world to attain FTG Five-Star awards across its entire collection of hotel, spa and dining facilities, just one year after its grand opening.
