The Issue:
A hotel chain was struggling with a high employee turnover rate of 35%, constantly spending time and money on hiring and training new staff. They realized that the traditional onboarding process wasn’t engaging enough and wasn’t helping new hires get up to speed quickly.
The Solution:
So, they decided to implement MetaMinder and micro-learning into their hiring and training processes. This allowed new employees to learn at their own pace, with bite-sized, easy-to-digest lessons that helped them quickly become proficient. Instead of spending weeks feeling unsure or overwhelmed, new hires were already hitting their stride by the second week. As a result, onboarding time was reduced by an impressive 49.7%, going from 4-6 weeks down to just 2 weeks.
Another key shift was in how managers gave feedback. Instead of the usual criticism, they focused on providing positive reinforcement, which boosted morale and motivation. Employees felt appreciated and more confident in their roles. The new interactive content led to a 71% increase in employee engagement, keeping staff interested and involved in their learning process. Additionally, the hotel saw a 78% cut in training costs by minimizing the~need for in-person sessions.
The Results:
As a result, turnover dropped significantly, as staff felt more engaged and satisfied with their work environment, helping the hotel save on recruitment costs and build a more stable, experienced team.
