Malmaison and Hotel du Vin implement e-learning courses

Employees of Malmaison and Hotel du Vin hotels have completed approximately 2,000 e-learning courses within six weeks of their launch. The sister companies, part of the Marylebone Warwick Balfour Group Plc (MWB), have implemented solutions from ThirdForce Plc into all of their hotels. Across the country, Malmaison and Hotel du Vin employees have been able to further their hospitality qualifications through anytime, anywhere e-learning

The hotels are using the Achievement Information Management System (AIMS), a learning management system to deliver easy to use enterprise-wide learning, aligned with business goals. At present, four courses are being rolled out in the hotels, including Disability Discrimination Awareness (DDA), Foundation Food Safety (FSF), Foundation Health and Safety (HSF) and Licensing Law for Bar Persons (LLBP). The courses provide training required by law for all staff in a hospitality, food manufacturing or related workplace.

Sean Wheeler, Group Director of People Development of Malmaison & Hotel du Vin, said: “In recent years we have won over 30 local and national hotel and hospitality awards, for our staff training and development offering. The use of the ThirdForce e-learning tools has been key in helping us implement a robust, training strategy for HSF, DDA, FSF and LLBP across all 2000 of our employees.”
