Safeway
has opened a training school dedicated to improving staff development and
customer service.
The
supermarket giant has prioritised training as a key factor in its bid to
compete with rival chains.
The
store has invested more than £100,000 in training schemes which allow staff to
become NVQ accredited butchers, bakers, fishmongers and greengrocers.
Safeway
developed the meat courses in conjunction with the Meat Training Council; the
Sea Fish Authority endorses the fishmonger courses.
Senior
staff can also take part in externally accredited department manager
programmes.
