We believe that in the hospitality and service industry,
people are at the heart of delivering exceptional experiences to our guests. Therefore, every position plays a vital role in driving the business toward success. That’s why we place great importance on supporting every stage of the

Driven by the belief that “people” are the cornerstone of the service industry, ONYX Hospitality Group has established a comprehensive human resource strategy—covering every aspect from talent selection and potential development to career advancement and long-term growth support.
Recruiting the Right Talent, Creating Differentiated Experiences
One key approach emphasised by ONYX Hospitality Group is the careful selection of personnel who possess a genuine “service mindset” and a personality that aligns with the distinct identities of its brands—Amari, OZO, Shama, and
Oriental Residence. The company believes that individuals with a heartfelt commitment to service and a clear understanding of each brand’s essence can naturally embody and convey the brand’s identity, delivering the best possible experience to guests.
ONYX Academy: Strategically Developing High-Performance Talent
Recognising that all employees seek growth in their careers, ONYX Hospitality Group established ONYX Academy to support systematic, end-to-end development. The Academy designs clear career paths and delivers tailored learning programmes aimed at enhancing the skills and potential of personnel at every level.

Fostering Success Through a Flexible Corporate Culture
In addition, a key factor supporting employee success is a corporate culture rooted in “dynamism” and “openness.” This culture encourages employees to think boldly and act confidently, share new ideas, and experiment with innovative approaches to help the organisation grow. Guided by the belief that “every voice can drive the organisation forward,” ONYX promotes active participation in organisational development and change—adapting swiftly to evolving business and social landscapes—with strong backing from an executive team that deeply understands both its people and the business environment.
“We believe that focusing on ‘people‘ is the foundation for delivering the best experiences and service. The success of ONYX Hospitality Group’s human resource management is rooted in the unwavering support of all executives, who empower our employees to grow in every dimension—from recruitment and creating a robust learning system to designing a supportive environment, encouraging experimentation and learning from mistakes, and providing platforms for employees to fully showcase their potential. With this foundation, ONYX Hospitality Group has become not only a sought-after employer but also a trusted organisation where customers and guests across all our brands are confident they will receive the highest quality service from our dedicated and talented employees,” said Ms Saranya.
