Axonify

Etihad Airways, the UAE's second-largest airline, began operations in 2003. The country's second flag carrier airline found it difficult to keep up with the volatile nature of the aviation business. It is also difficult for a corporation to estimate the nature of work after 6-12 months when it accumulates. Etihad's prior experience with e-modules had been restricted in terms of communication, therefore they were searching for a frontline-focused learning management system that could expedite learning and communication. Solution The aviation sector is fast-paced and competitive. Every day is different for Etihad Airways' managers, and the nature of their work necessitates a high level of efficiency from the workers. In this aspect, Etihad might stay up with the aviation industry's complexity by including Axonify into their performance monitoring structure. They wanted to create a sales process that was created by salespeople for salespeople. According to Etihad, Axonify's key selling point is the concept of daily learning, which their staff found user-friendly and exceedingly simple to understand. Graham Cook, the Manager of Commercial Performance, sees employees utilising Axonify on a daily basis to confirm their existing knowledge as "time well spent" and sees it as the greatest approach to avoid generic and monotonous training sessions. Etihad's use of Axonify as a medium to communicate and roll out updates in real-time is a crucial aspect. This improves the efficiency of Etihad's divisions while also informing everyone about the many changes that are occurring both internally and internationally. Impact Etihad noted a significant increase in engagement as their sales staff completed approximately 4,500-5,000 additional Axonify training sessions. This definitely demonstrates their excitement at work, which is a genuinely desirable attribute for an organization's frontline. Furthermore, Etihad saw a 10% increase in participation rate after implementing Axonify, with more than two-thirds of their sales team utilising this training product. Furthermore, this frontline training tool empowered Etihad's salespeople to approach their market and consumers with confidence. Axonify has enabled the organisation to send a positive message, which has had a significant impact on Etihad's work culture.
