The employers' association of gaming halls exceeds 20,000 enrolments in its Continuous Training Plan for employees
More than 10,700 workers have already gone through ANESAR courses.
The Spanish Association of Gaming and Recreational Gaming Hall Entrepreneurs (ANESAR) has reason to be satisfied: its Continuous Training Plan, aimed at employees of associated gaming halls, has exceeded 20,000 enrollments. The employers' association announced it on November 6. The figure confirms the roots of a tool that the sector has been making its own little by little.
Behind these enrolments there are more than 10,700 unique students, who have taken one or more of the courses since the plan was launched. The subjects respond to the daily concerns of any salon: responsible gaming, customer service and safety in establishments. These are three pillars on which the association has been insisting for some time, as it already explained to Infoplay when detailing all its responsible gaming actions for gaming hall employees.
One of the attractions of the model is that training is included in the membership fee. Companies can train their staff at no additional cost and with flexible schedules, which is no small feat in a business that operates in shifts. ANESAR proposes the service as support both for the incorporation of new workers and for the retraining of those who are already in the position.
Several operators have made the plan a part of their professionalisation strategy. This is the case of Grupo MGA, which opted for ANESAR's Continuous Training Plan for its salons, and Grupo Veramatic, which reinforced its commitment to this training at the beginning of the year.
The figures make more sense if we remember the weight of the group to which the plan is directed. At its 43rd General Assembly, the employers' association explained that 62% of the direct employees of the salons are women, in a sector that has around 3,600 salons and 47,000 jobs.
ANESAR assures that the plan will continue to evolve to respond to the training needs of its members. If the pace is maintained, the next round figure should not take long.
