312 Checkers Serves Up “Crazy Good Learning” for On-the-Job Training
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Wednesday, April 12
Tracks: Management & Strategy
Faced with low levels of staffing, challenges from the pandemic, and a general lack of engagement across its learners, the Checkers & Rally’s learning and development team wanted to enhance the training program to ensure it was positioned to effectively train restaurant teams, boost guest satisfaction, and support its business goals.
They needed to better engage current and new team members by changing the way they communicated to the field, which is comprised of 850 locations, 30 percent of which are corporate-owned and 70 percent which are franchised.
Enter “Crazy Good Learning,” Checkers & Rally’s innovative employee learning program that engages team members with video plus mobile and social collaboration across the organization.
In this session you will learn:
- How to create a training “funnel” for employees to focus learning from onboarding to frontline work so employees get the training they need, when they need it
- How to implement different types of training modalities to create a unique learning experience for employees to prevent them from getting bored and disengaging
- How to use both traditional training and microlearning at the point of need to ensure employees have the information they need, when they need it
