Use It or Lose It: Why the Employee Experience Must Be a Priority When Deploying New Technology

The guest experience is always a top consideration when hotels adopt technology, but the impact on employees is critical too. If staff find the system difficult to use, aren’t properly trained, or can’t serve guests efficiently, it will jeopardize successful deployment.

This holds true whether a hotel is switching PMSs, launching mobile check-in, or migrating to the cloud.

Join us for the next Shiji Buzz, when our panel of experts discusses how to earn employee buy-in at the property and enterprise level when planning for and rolling out new systems.

What are the risks of not involving the team in technology decisions?
In this time of staffing shortages, how can technology improve retention?
What new features do modern PMSs offer to make life easier for employees?
