Learning & Development

Required & Recommended Training

Collections & Knowledge Checks

Keeping related trainings easy to find is essential if you want them completed. Collections help guide your employees through their learning, so you don’t have to. Knowledge checks make sure they’ve understood and retained the information, ensuring they have what they need to succeed in their roles.

Gamification

Leaderboards and learning challenges keep team members engaged and make training fun. Friendly competition and motivation to do additional learning to beat their personal best scores is only a touch away.

Career Development

Employees want to know they have a future. You need to succession planning to find your next great manager and keep talent in house. It all comes together in Mapal One enabling staff to see exactly what they need to do to achieve their career goals.

Refresher learning

Learning is ongoing in hospitality. Teams stay sharp with automatically assigned, easy to access review exercises so they stay confident and don’t forget important information.

Engagement

Communication

Communication is key. Keep your teams connected on a safe, organised, easy-to-use platform specially designed for hospitality teams. Your employees can communicate securely and efficiently across locations or just specific teams.

360 Feedback

Whether it’s survey responses, notes from manager check-ins or shout outs, easily gather all feedback and progress in one place so you’re ready when performance review time comes to help future-proof your talent pipeline.

Customer Reviews

Employees aren’t the only ones whose engagement helps your business. Encourage customers to leave feedback or reviews on employee performance via quick surveys and capture their data in the process.

Recognitions

Who doesn’t love to feel recognised? Make building a recognition-rich culture easy by enabling your teams to shout each other out. Instantly recognise outstanding performance to reinforce positive behaviours and boost morale.
