Video iPods to Train Hotel Staff

A US hotel chain has launched an employee training programme via video iPod.

Homewood Suites by Hilton has equipped all its 204 American and Canadian properties with iPods for use with its Mobile Training programme.

The programme consists of two-minute modules highlighting brand specific skills and standards.

The company says the system will offer employees the opportunity to train in their work environment and will “empower team members to take charge of their own learning styles”.
