The priceless data and analytics that comes with that level of visibility helps to improve our services and products month on month.” TLC has grown rapidly over the past few years, tripling its staff base and moving into a larger permanent office space. Andrew knows that with growth and a new staff influx, wellbeing and culture is key, therefore the company has a dedicated wellbeing team made up of staff from different departments. “The company culture is one of strong bonds, collectiveness, and an open forum,” he states. “With regular questionnaires, away days, and the usual office wellbeing perks, staff feel valued from the day they start. “ The key qualities and skills that TLC looks when onboarding new employees include creativity coupled with a strong passion to better themselves, so that as the company continues to grow the team members all grow with it. Being a tech business, keeping on top of all updates and development within the industry is absolutely critical and team members re encouraged to explain the products and services in real life scenarios relating to the area of business they are working on, be this how a change in user journey on a booking system improves efficiency, or how a new social media campaign will increase sales of a high margin dish. As online bookings and loyalty applications are becoming very popular in the hospitality industry, these systems need to constantly evolve and be user-friendly. TLC’s UX/UI specialists liaise with its clients regularly to ensure that any productivity or cost changes do not harm the customer value of the products.
