More than 1,400 entries were submitted this year for consideration in more than 90 categories. Aspire's entry for aspire365, a new online learning portal, is a Finalist in the Most Innovative Company of the Year category.
The online learning tool aspire365 was designed to "keep the learning alive," increasing sales for hospitality reservation sales agents and contact centers.
"This online tool was designed with our clients and focused on the solutions they need, our years of research on how to engage people to own their performance and our teamās understanding of how to keep the learning alive. This all resulted in in real breakthroughs in gamification, reward incentives, sales conversion improvement and reporting metrics useful to users and supervisors alike," said Aspire CEO Renie Cavallari.
The module has been so successful that a new module for leadership development is currently in design stages and is due to launch early next year.
