Challenges
In order to achieve their company’s vision, the organisation wanted their senior team to embark on a journey of cultural change, actively focusing on employee engagement and inclusion to drive the business forward. As part of this programme it was essential for the senior team to look at things differently to truly enable the desired change to happen.
Solutions
After assessing the business needs it was proposed that The Landmark’s team should attend several of Dale Carnegie’s core programmes.Over the past 5 years the courses have been rolled out internally, starting with the Senior Leadership Team, then to other senior managers, Heads of Department and supervisors.
Results
The on-going training has seen guest satisfaction and staff retention rates increase by 10%. Upselling is up by a third and employee engagement levels are now outstanding.This has led to the hotel being voted No.6 in The Times Top 100 Companies to Work For 2019, as well as retaining the highest award possible from Investors in People – Platinum Level. It has also been named The AA 2019 Hotel of the Year.
The results and improvements we have seen throughout the business are incredible, and we truly believe that the development delivered by Dale Carnegie has had a direct impact on our business results.
