SKILLS DEVELOPMENT TRAINING FROM LEARN2
Stop leaving new employees or store associates unsure of what to do and how to do it. Retail store associates begin their role desperate to master their job and do a great job. Most companies throw associates into the deep-end and hope they can swim.
Most orientation programs fail store associates by wasting valuable motivation and excitement without giving associates what they need to be successful. The best orientation programs make associates successful.
HOW OUR RETAIL EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION TRAINING PROGRAMS WORK
Learn2 conducts a comprehensive needs assessment to link your desired outcomes with your required business results and time constraints. We identify the specific behaviors expected of new store associates and the environment where those behaviors get applied.
We search your existing content for practices, job aids & tools then build interactive exercises to ensure store associates actually learn and practice skills and behaviors – before arriving in the store. For truly successful organizations, our simulations can test a new employee’s success on the job before they begin. This allows you to screen based on capability to perform in the store environment saving months of coaching and tens of thousands of wasted investment.
