Learning Solutions for Travel and Transportation

The travel and transportation industries have been experiencing a period of sustained growth and change. They face increased governmental regulation and scrutiny. And they are particularly susceptible to volatility in the economy or in customer behavior. Because of this, the usual training priorities of onboarding, leadership, sales enablement, and operations are particularly critical in helping the organization flex, scale, and adapt.  

AllenComm has worked with several airlines, aircraft manufacturers, railways, and car rental companies in addition to working in hospitality and related industries. Our solutions span a broad spectrum from the onboarding of new employees to interpersonal and technical skills development.  

What Experience Has Taught Us

  • Most of our clients in these industries face challenges of scale. The solutions that we design may be rolled out both domestically and internationally. Even when the content is the same for these audiences, the context rarely is. We strive to support scalable growth with learning solutions that are both scalable and relevant to diverse learner audiences.  
  • In very large organizations, it’s important to engage learners not only in the learning content but in the overall narrative of the organization. To be motivated, learners need to see the big picture to contextualize the role they play individually and as a team. We can help to craft an organizational story that can reinforced across each LX journey.  
  • The learning tech ecosystem for companies in these industries is often complex without sufficient or enabling integration. Learner data can be siloed and analytics can be difficult to curate. We have experience in troubleshooting such environments and providing workable solutions that optimize the learner experience while providing actionable insight to the organization.

“The WBT examples like the open shadowing were great—NOT boring—and they felt like they were seamless for any tenure. . . . The coaching training taught me how to coach; I've never been taught how to coach, and this gave me deeper insight into coaching. I loved that the facilitator is a CEM who understands what we do (frustrations, pain points, etc.).”
