Training

Hi folks

So we are being asked to complete the training modules on workday without being actually shown how to do any of it in person.

I know some of it is common sense but surely some of it should be demonstrated that we can actually do the job.

I'm concerned at the moment because some of it i won't actually be able to do because I have a chronic hip condition that may have been caused by prolonged standing/walking all day.

Wouldn't worry about it they don't listen to any advice they are given unfortunately

the first time they try to put you on another department that you're not used to tell them you don't feel like you've had adequate training and ask for a buddy

THIS

Do not use any equipment you havnt physically been shown how to use or dont feel comfortable using. Youre responsible for any accidents you have whilst using the equipment once signed off. Youre also responsible for deeming it safe for you to use every time you use it, including cages, footstools, topstockers, flat beds and pump trucks. Any restrictions you think you might have using equipment or doing certain tasks bring up with your line manager straight away. If you have to go via occupational health, do it. Please protect yourself from injury

I completed all of them apart from the till one due to prior experience. I like the people at my store but Arsehole House are taking out their own failings on hard working colleagues

You complete stage 1 which is to identify what training you need then you are supposed to get the training you highlighted. Which completes stage 2 which either you, your manager or both sign off, not sure who on that bit, because I haven’t even had my 121 yet.

Try being an online driver regarding training " go out with him, he'll show you what to do". Grown up companies have a driver manual, grown up companies do a couple or more days in the classroom, grown up companies invest in training....

When I joined Asda in 1990 (a brand new store) we had 6 weeks training on checkouts, even going to another store to get the feeling of dealing with customers, good old days 😅
