A day in the life

Learning Managers in our Fulfilment Centres play a pivotal role, focusing strongly on performance improvements through key performance indicators (KPIs). Their responsibilities extend beyond training to encompass operational duties. Hailing from various operational backgrounds, including management, production, retail, and logistics, they bring expertise in data management and performance enhancement to their role. This position, known as an Operational Learning Manager, underscores its dual function in both Learning and Development (L&D) and operational improvement.

Their daily agenda includes meetings like “Daily Dive Deep” sessions, regular discussions with stakeholders, team gatherings, and one-on-one sessions with managers. They nurture crucial relationships with General Managers (GMs), Site Operations Managers (SOMs), and Human Resources Business Partners (HRBPs). Administrative tasks, training sessions, participation in recruitment activities, and project involvement are integral parts of their job. They actively engage in business reviews, data analysis, and problem-solving to drive effective solutions. Personal development through training sessions holds paramount importance.

In summary, Learning Managers at our Fulfilment Centres must balance an array of responsibilities, encompassing meetings, coaching, administrative functions, and project involvement, all aimed at enhancing operational performance.
