Case Study: Atlas Hotels boosts learner engagement 40% and reduces compliance training time by 35% with OpenSesame

Atlas Hotels delivers compliance training using OpenSesame’s catalogue

Atlas Hotels, an award‑winning franchise group operating 58 UK hotels (55 Holiday Inn Express, two Hampton by Hilton and one Holiday Inn) with around 7,000 bedrooms, needed a way to deliver consistent, engaging compliance training across a fast‑paced, high‑turnover workforce. The organisation faced strict health‑and‑safety and other mandatory training requirements while also serving a largely mobile staff that includes non‑native English speakers.

By adopting OpenSesame’s curated catalogue, Atlas consolidated and refreshed mandatory courses into engaging, mobile‑friendly video formats, added multilingual and DEI content (including modern‑slavery training), and integrated updated courses seamlessly into their LMS. The change cut training time by about 35%, drove over a 40% increase in learner engagement, and earned excellent external audit feedback while also expanding wellness and career‑development options for employees.
