The holiday season is a busy time for retailers, requiring additional staff members to accommodate the influx of shoppers. Seasonal staff or temporary employees are often new hires that require onboarding and training to ensure they are ready to work efficiently and effectively during the period of high sales. Unfortunately, traditional onboarding methods can be time-consuming and overwhelming for both employers and new hires. This is where Wranx comes in. Wranx is microlearning learning platform that makes onboarding quick, engaging and tailored to your specific business needs. In this blog, we will explore how to effectively onboard retail Christmas staff with Wranx.

Create a Customized Learning Plan

The first step to effectively onboard retail Christmas staff is to create a customized learning plan. With Wranx, you can easily create a learning plan that fits your business needs and aligns with your sales objectives. The platform allows you to customize content, assign training modules, and monitor progress effectively. Wranx uses Spaced Repetition training, with algorithms that aid in memory retention, ensuring that the training sticks with your staff.

Personalize the Experience

No two learners are the same, everyone picks up information at different paces, so it’s important that your onboarding program is personalized to ensure maximum success. Wranx algorithms ensure information is repeated as spaced intervals until it’s firmly retained. And, if your learners aren’t confident answering certain questions, or keep answering incorrectly, they will repeat the questions and answers until they have fully grasped them. We also understand that different learning styles appeal to different people, so Wranx has varying quiz-style question types to keep your learners engaged and ensure learning is fun. 

Monitor Progress Effectively

Tracking and monitoring progress is vital for successful onboarding. It allows employers to identify any knowledge gaps and provide additional support to ensure employee success. With Wranx, managers can easily assess progress and get real-time insights into how their employees are performing. Wranx reporting dashboard highlights engagement, confidence, how learners are increasing their knowledge and who may need additional support.

Provide Ongoing Support

The onboarding process does not end with the completion of a course. Ongoing support is essential to ensure employees continue to perform optimally. Wranx offers ongoing learning to employees, allowing them to engage with the platform and continue to improve performance throughout the holiday season. The Spaced Repetition algorithm ensures information is retained long term and employees can recall information confidently when out on the shop floor during busy periods.

Create A Competitive Atmosphere

Wranx incorporates gamification features to motivate staff to continue learning and complete their daily training drills. Leaderboards, hot streaks and badges bring out a competitive element in your staff, whilst incentives and rewards can really push your team to do their best. Without an incentive training can become just another task to complete, but rewards can significantly boost enjoyment. Clients of Wranx have successfully used employee incentives to further increase sales. 

In conclusion, improving your Christmas staff onboarding experience with Wranx can lead to a more productive and engaged team. With Wranx’s personalized learning, Spaced Repetition algorithms, and easy-to-use platform, retail staff can learn quickly and retain information for real-life application. Additionally, Wranx’s monitoring and progress tracking enable effective management making it easier to identify knowledge gaps and areas for improvement. Finally, Wranx’s gamification features lead to increased employee satisfaction and sales.
