After the recovery of hotel industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were numerous new hiring and reinstating in all departments.

Therefore, this study aimed to explore the perceived effectiveness of e-training among training managers, supervisors, and employees. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 key participants including training managers, supervisors, and employees. Content analysis was conducted to explore themes and patterns of the perceived effectiveness of e-training from different points of view and identify the skills that are suitable to conduct e-training.

Implication of the thematic paper: The findings of this study benefit hotel managers and human resources managers to efficiently spend their resources and plan on e-training for frontline employees.
