An Employee's First 30 Days
Tuesday, July 14, 2020
(1:00 pm ET / 12:00 pm CT / 11:00 AM MT/ 10:00 AM PT)
This webinar is free to FMI members and available to non-members for $59
Webinar Description:
With the recent growth in the grocery industry, many food retailers are hiring additional workers. What can managers do to increase the effectiveness of new employees and decrease turnover?
This 60-minute webinar will be in three parts.
- The first section will highlight the most popular In-Store Communication idea of the six that were offered during our last Store Directors Virtual Group: In-Store Communication.
- The main section will outline 12 store level best practices used to effectively On-Board a New Employee (Newbie).
These tips should all take place within the employee’s first 30 days. They are cost effective ways to sincerely engage each newly hired employee to increase the likelihood they’ll stay with us longer. Turnover is expensive, in many ways.
This webinar will help you reduce employee turnover which is typically the highest during the employee’s first 30 days.
- The last segment will showcase 10 more simple, yet impactful merchandising and operational ideas from great stores all around North America. There will surely be a few ‘gems’ among the 10 for store managers to ‘mine’ to improve their operations and/or merchandising.
Webinar Objectives
Store managers and their department managers should attend in order to:
- Cultivate 12 store-level best practices to onboard new employees
- Implement cost effective ways to sincerely engage each newly hired employee
- Reduce employee turnover
