The garden retailers will pool their training resources, and send new employees to an agreed-upon location for basic training. A garden center school, if you will. Jacquie courtright asked her manager, Cyndee Carvalho , to step in as scribe this month. We hire the most employees just before peak sales months. Sounds nice and neat, but too often employee will leave during heavy sales times, and you have to adjust your staff to cover the extra work, then find someone else to come in.
Most retailers have the same problems.
I know those in the Bay Area do. If we could pool our resources in some way, it would benefit us all, and hurt no one. We could either jointly hire an instructor, or take turns loaning senior employees to teach on various topics. The more who participate, the lighter the load and our brain power will be all the richer. Many topics are common knowledge While each store has its own quirks an employee will need to learn, there are many common areas garden centers share.
