The goal

No more empty seats

Royal Caribbean Group was losing 10% of its annual budget to empty seats at training events.

In order to maintain first-rate travel and hospitality experiences, and consistently train a distributed workforce, Royal Caribbean Group runs training events across the globe. When empty seats at training events happen at that scale, the costs directly impact the training budget. Additionally, the training team spent more than 80% of their time manually managing vital administrative tasks. They came to Administrate looking for a solution.

Challenges

Royal Caribbean Group’s path to scalable, connected training

Royal Caribbean Group’s training team needed to support strategic business growth. Empty seats and manual workarounds were making it hard to scale.

  • Disconnected learning and business systems made keeping track of learner data difficult. This meant missed training opportunities, unreliable course schedules, and unfilled seats.
  • Managing complex training logistics via spreadsheets was slowing their team down.
  • Learner engagement was produced manually. They spent hours sending thousands of emails and SMS communications one at a time.
  • They had an urgent requirement to support strategic business growth without increasing staff.
