Developing Leadership and Staff Capability at Quay Perth 

Client: Quay Perth Hotel

Industry Sector: Hospitality

Project:  Leadership & Staff Training

Overview

Quay Perth partnered with Future Institute to establish a structured training program for staff across all levels of the hotel. As an independent hotel without the support of a corporate learning and development team, Quay Perth identified the need to create its own formal training framework to support staff development, strengthen leadership capability and build a positive learning culture.

Across 2025 and 2026, Future Institute has delivered a series of half-day workshops for Quay Perth, with 14 sessions completed to date.

Training topics have included:

  • complaints handling
  • conflict resolution
  • critical thinking
  • innovation
  • leadership
  • positive workplace culture
  • effective relationships
  • workplace health and safety.

The Challenge

As an independent hotel, Quay Perth did not have a formal learning and development structure in place. Without access to a corporate training team or centralised L&D support, the hotel needed to develop its own approach to staff training that would meet the needs of both leaders and employees.

The goal was to create a practical and engaging training programme that supported staff at all levels, while also helping leaders build the knowledge, confidence and frameworks required to lead effectively in a busy hospitality environment.

Why Quay Perth Chose Future Institute

Following discussions with Janet and Angela from Future Institute, Quay Perth felt confident that Future Institute could meet its training needs. A key factor in the decision was the range of courses available, along with the flexibility to customise training to suit the hotel’s specific requirements.

This tailored approach meant the training could be aligned with Quay Perth’s workplace context, team needs and operational priorities, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all solution.

The Solution

Future Institute worked with Quay Perth to deliver a series of targeted half-day workshops designed to build capability across the workforce. The sessions covered a broad range of practical workplace topics, including leadership, communication, conflict resolution, complaints handling, critical thinking, innovation, workplace culture and WHS.

The training provided staff and leaders with practical tools, theoretical knowledge and clear frameworks they could apply directly in their roles.

The Outcome

Over the past three years, Quay Perth’s leaders have had the opportunity to build their theoretical knowledge of leadership and apply practical frameworks to become more effective in their roles.

Feedback from the training sessions has been very positive, with high levels of engagement across the programme. The partnership has also supported Quay Perth to develop a stronger internal learning structure and create a more consistent approach to staff development.
