Zleep Hotels launches new communications and training platform

As the first hotel chain in Denmark, Zleep Hotels now offers employees the opportunity to participate in adult vocational training courses via the chain’s internal employee app: Actimo, a Kahoot! company. “I have been on cloud nine since the launch,” says an enthusiastic Tina Berning, Director of HR at Zleep Hotels.

Education where and when appropriate

We have all been there. In a classroom filled with other course participants all eager to learn. But is it possible to change the physical and temporal framework of a regular training session? Zleep Hotels definitely believes that. The investment in the new education platform also includes education on demand. A service that offers education on the trainee’s terms and thus without a fixed framework for time and place:

“Staff training has always been a high priority at Zleep and with the launch of the app, we have now made it even more accessible and flexible for our employees to participate in training courses. The courses are divided into small video sessions that can be accessed wherever and whenever it suits the course participant. Everything happens online and there is no need for changes in the shift schedule, as the video sessions can be accessed by phone and only require 5 to 15 minutes attention a day”, says Zleep Hotels’ Director of HR, Tina Berning, about the hotel chain’s big new investment.

Cross-border training processes

The training platform is also an important tool when it comes to pre- and onboarding of brand-new employees and according to Zleep, this is an important milestone when managing training processes across national borders:

“The app will be a great asset when training staff outside the country’s borders as it, in addition of being an education platform, also functions as a reference work, communications channel and a solid tool for pre and onboarding. The intro courses are presented by the employees themselves which in my eyes creates the absolute best criteria for successful knowledge sharing and effective training of new staff. In addition, our hope is to create bridges between the hotels, departments, and countries”, says Tina Berning about the future plans.

The app has been developed in collaboration with Actimo and the Danish Department of Learning Design.
