Training and treatment of local staff Sample Clauses

Training and treatment of local staff. The overall approach is to respect the staff in the same way as we would UK staff. This may require some investment that the local outsourcer may think is unnecessary but this protects the brand reputation and will also decrease attrition. • Develop a training programme that is more extensive than anything currently in use in the UK. Initial and on-going training should include:- • Skills & software training • Full immersion into Virgin – brand, personality, customer expectations etc. • Customer familiarisation – their lifestyle, needs and attitudes, why they buy this product, how they buy it, how they use it etc. • Conversational tips & phrases, and teach a level of informality that the local staff will probably find a bit strange. • Language training…. • Positive language training is critical, but the key is to be respectful to the staff and their identities and to be transparent about where we are servicing our customers from: • Difficult names can be shortened or real nick-names used, but fake British names should not be used.
