Kathrine Munch-Tranholm started her career at Zleep Hotels just four years ago as an intern at Zleep Hotel Copenhagen City, and in June this year she took over the position as Hotel Manager at the same hotel. According to Kathrine, her meteoric career is based upon a large amount of trust and support given to her by the Zleep management: “It is absolutely incredible and thought-provoking what a good organization can do for the employees who show passion and commitment. The support and trust I have received from Zleep has been above all expectations. Good development opportunities and trust are the most important things you can give your employees. The stronger we, as managers, make our employees, the stronger we become ourselves, and after all, we are nothing without great employees,” says Kathrine Munch-Tranholm about gaining responsibility and becoming Hotel Manager.
Giving and receiving presence
After the internship, a year as Front Office Manager at the hotel chain's airport hotel, Zleep Hotel Copenhagen Airport, and two maternity leaves later, Kathrine Munch-Tranholm has now returned to the hotel where it all began: "At the city hotel you hear stories from all over the world, and that gives me such a huge rush. Here I get the chance to embrace all types of people, and I sense that all the commitment the staff radiates is of great importance to the guests. I love being present when working and even though it might sound like a cliche, I truly believe that I get as much presence back as I give,” says Kathrine Munch-Tranholm.
