match in HNA at every stage of their career.
“We have an incredibly young staff where most of us are in our 20s
and early 30s, so meetings can be vibrant with many ideas thrown out
and the management is very willing to listen to these ideas and give us
space to fi nd creative solutions, ́ said Raymond ;iong, a participant of
the International Talent Program at HNA Catering. “I think one thing that
stands out about HNA is that the managers here are very approachable
and willing to offer help.”

“I always encourage job seekers to choose the right organizations
to build their career. Ideally they
should work in companies that
are rapidly expanding both locally
and internationally as there will
be plentiful of opportunities and
work challenges for learning and
career progression. HNA is one
such company,” Kong added.
Our investment in talent
development is enormous yet
unique. More than half of our
employees have international
work experience or education.
Our talents have no shortage of
learning opportunities. And we in-
vest heavily in their development
through sending many of talents
to top universities like Harvard,
INSEAD, Wharton, Cornell and etc. At the same time, our e-learning
platform offers thousands of self-learning courses.
HNA encourages our employees to take up post graduate programs
like MBA in established universities in China and overseas and provide
generous sponsorship and support to eligible students.
We offer uniTue benefi ts for our employees. For e[ample, they can
purchase air tickets for themselves and family members at 80% discount
to many local and international locations like Paris, Seattle, Rome, Tokyo
and Sydney. We also offer substantial discounts on tour packages and
hotel accommodations to our employees since many tour agencies and
hotels are subsidiaries of HNA. Many of our employees make full use of
these staff benefi ts to visit their hometowns and places of interest during
weekends and extended holidays.
“Under the International Talent Program, I was assigned two
mentors and they have really helped me understand my job better,”
said Leslie Li, an ITP with HNA Catering marketing department. “What
encapsulates HNA? The size and rapid growth of HNA has given me
a very large platform to learn and advance in my career, and I am very
grateful for such opportunities.”
