"Congratulations and thanks for this award go to the entire group and to the hotel teams. Without the joint work on and with the arcona Online Academy, this award and the success of the Academy would not be possible," says Miriam Harwardt, Director Human Resources. "Our heartfelt thanks also go to Christian Voss and his team at Voss Seminare, who pursued our idea of the Online Academy with us and brought it to life. Together, we will continue to work on providing valuable training content in the arcona Online Academy in line with target groups and needs."
