Kerzner International has been redefining the luxury hospitality industry for over 30 years. Renowned for its iconic brands and breathtaking destinations, Kerzner is an organization that prides itself on delivering Amazing Experiences and Everlasting Memories to guests and colleagues.

Recognizing that behind every happy guest is a happy colleague, Kerzner partnered with Unily to transform the way it engages and enables its people, including its significant frontline workforce. With Unily’s award-winning employee app, Kerzner is revolutionizing employee experience for 15,000+ colleagues across the globe. Wider knowledge management has also been transformed through the use of a powerful global search capability that crawls every repository, including third-party platforms like SharePoint, to surface information in one place.
