- I keep the People and Safety Trainer and Warehouse Service Team Manager(s) aware of any safety training gaps I may spot in my area.
- I connect with my colleagues, sharing knowledge, experience and best practice. I understand the importance of what I do and work collaboratively to deliver results. I make time to build strong relationships, reaching out across the business to network with colleagues and find new ways to improve what matters.
- I am warm and welcoming in every interaction with customers and colleagues. I respond to people appropriately and ensure they feel seen, heard and recognised. Through listening and taking appropriate action I gain commitment from my team
- I use my energy and resilience to keep momentum going when working in challenging environments, keeping focus on my objectives. I act quickly, making decisions based on what is right for customers and colleagues to ensure my Distribution Centre standards are maintained at all times.
- My colleagues see me doing the right thing both when things are going well and when times are tough. I know how to be at my best and inspire confidence in those around me.
- I am aware of what our competitors are doing and continually identify ways to improve our Distribution Centre for customers. I am keen to build and deliver new initiatives, providing feedback on how they could be further improved.
