As a merchant in retail, you are the good soul of a business and contact person No. 1, if a customer needs advice. You advise the clientele and take care of the goods presentation so that the purchase decision is a bit easier. So that there is no yawning emptiness on the shelves, you fill them up regularly. At the cash register, it is also with large customer load, not to lose the overview.
Thus, the goods must be scanned, unlocked and packaged within a short time. But you do not only spend your training in the salesrooms, but also in the office. In other words, you learn how to settle accounts, order goods and arrange delivery dates. Which products your life turns in the future depends entirely on you. In general, retailers are sought everywhere where goods are sold, be it in a food discounter such as the globally successful ALDI SÜD group of companies, a LIDL store or a fashion store.

Did you know that the profession of retail salesman/woman is regularly ranked number one in the most popular apprenticeships? This is not least because retailers are needed everywhere. The most diverse products want to be presented, sold and reordered. Of course, you will learn that step by step. Instructors like ALDI SOUTH will show you how to get a good overview of a branch in your first year of training. Soon you will need little help because you know exactly how the goods are presented and stored and when it is time to fill a shelf.

An important part of your training is dealing with the POS system. To avoid long queues at the cash register, you scan the goods at record speed and accept the various forms of payment. The unlocking and packaging can also be part of the cashier. When changing shifts and closing time, the cash falls and settlements are in each case. You'll learn how to count, review, and create bills.

In a retail store but also a lot of work, which takes place behind the scenes. Labels and receipts are created and printed on the computer, and suppliers or employees in the logistics centers call you to receive the latest order. After all, the shelves should be filled with fresh produce every day. Also with the delivery, you are there. So that no customer has to give up his favorite pizza, you check whether the delivery is complete and the quality of the goods is top. Then you initiate the fast storage, so there is no loss of quality. As with any dual vocational training, you also attend a vocational school. Subjects such as German, Maths, and Accounting are on the timetable.

Unfortunately, some students do not do the exams. Last year, more than 4000 students are not passing their examinations. For this reason, we have created our own learning area for this vocational training in Germany on our online platform.

Five Points For Selecting a Human Resource Management System

thumbnail


There are many options, such as whether to develop a human resource management system with a scratch or to purchase packages and tools.

Even if you decide to introduce a human resource management system, many people may have stopped because they do not know how to choose.

Here are some points to consider when selecting a human resource management system.

Clarify the purpose of the introduction

First, clarify the purpose of introducing the system.

Let's clarify what kind of work you want to make more efficient and what kind of issues you have now.

If the purpose is not clear in the first stage, it is easy to happen that it will not be used even if it is introduced.

Depending on the purpose, the necessary functions and the cost to use are determined, so let's clarify this before looking for a specific system.

Cost and support system

Cost is also an important factor in introducing a human resource management system. It can be roughly divided into the following two fee systems.

  • Initial cost 0 yen + fixed monthly fee or unit price per person x number of people
  • First time package or license payment in one lump + maintenance fee

The former is easy to choose regardless of the size of the company because of the low hurdles to implement. On the other hand, the latter is expensive for large companies because of the high initial costs.

The support system is as important as the implementation cost. Let's check the following four.

Is there a dedicated support staff immediately after the introduction?

Is there an immediate software update due to the revision of laws such as the tax system?

Is the data backup system perfect?

Is speedy support in case of computer trouble?

Security

The data contained in the human resource management system is a huge amount of personal information.

Needless to say, the system must have strong security that prevents such data from leaking outside.

Therefore, one of the important factors is whether there is a mechanism that can prevent external hacking and unauthorized access.

Let's make sure of how the security is secured and how the data is retained.

Operability

Isn't operability the most important thing for practitioners?
Is the screen configuration easy to understand?
Can it be operated intuitively
Is there a wide range of customization?
Is the image as it is output?
Is the form easy to read?

Whether it is a system that fits the actual business or the feeling of the person in charge, etc., greatly affects the effectiveness of operational efficiency.

To check the operability, ask for a trial version or a demonstration, and check the details as much as possible.

It's up to the person to decide how to use the system

Managing human resource data centrally by introducing a human resource management system is the first step in improving operational efficiency and utilizing human resources. However, the most important thing is how to make the most of it.

After clarifying how the data obtained from the system will be used and what direction the company should aim for, it can be said that data analysis and utilization will come alive.

What Makes a Good Online Learning Experience?

thumbnail

Ten years ago, if I would have been asked to sign up for an online course instead of enrolling myself into an actual college, I would have strongly declined the offer but today learning by means of virtual reality is not only flexible but it allows to accommodate more than one task at a time.
Nowadays people who are working all day, those who hardly have time for themselves and can’t afford not working, they can learn different skills and expertise through the comfort of their home.
Distance learning has its own pros and cons, one must know how to make the best of it and for that, the instructor and the learner must be on the same page and both of them must follow some do’s and don’ts in order to meet the end goal of the online engagement.

Now let’s shed light over some factors that are likely to make your online learning experience a good one.

  • Integration of Multimedia
Online courses already have an edge over regular courses because they have the capacity to differentiate themselves from boring books. The learners can be presented with the information in different and creative ways so that they don’t lose their interest and are hooked onto the lecture.
Different videos, charts, podcasts can also be included which can’t be integrated in normal books and this will keep the learners engaged more as compared to reading long texts with no diversions.

  • Self-Dependent Learning
The online instructors must keep in mind that the learners are adults and can manage work on their own, hence, the attention to tiniest of details must be avoided such as assignments being dictated thoroughly which is just going to frustrate the learner.
Moreover, the online courses must leave room for self-discovery and exploration of different aspects of the subject by the learners on their own and it must also allow freedom of choice and must not dictate everything repeatedly.
The learners are also required to practice self-discipline because they have to manage work on their own without others reminding them to do so, scheduling and staying on the same pace as the class is crucial for a successful outcome.

  • Peer Connections
One of the major lacking of an online course is the isolation of the learner and if this isn’t properly handled, then the learner is likely to feel out of place and over worked. Successful online experiences involve the students interacting through online forums, the discussion boards where the learners are free to communicate off topic in order to develop understanding and a sense of belonging.
The instructors can also encourage the learners to improve interaction by working together on group projects online and this is likely to help in fostering connections and a chance to make friends all over the world. Knowing you have someone on the other end, doing the exact same thing as you does comfort you because you both can relate and handle each other’s queries.

  • Reliable and Latest Designs
Nowadays many courses are designed in a stylish and flashy way using a whole lot of hosts that the learners have to download. Since the learners are widespread, some areas don’t support such technology and this can prove to be a major interference in learning and the traffic to a specific learning site may reduce just because of that.
The videos must use designs and technology that are universally acceptable and used.
Also the design of the material presented in the video must be creatively integrated that enhance learning and maintain the learner’s interest, varied designs and presentation of information will improve retention and motivation to learn.

  • Active Reading and Practicing
One of the major factor of successful online learning experience is not to skip anything present on the screen whether it’s a video or an animation. Graded assignments are of greater importance but the extra material on the course is added by the instructors to aid the learning even further and if it’s skipped just because it doesn’t have marks attached then it’ll be the learner’s loss since skills can’t be gained through marks alone.

  • Meeting Requirements
The learners must not delay the deadlines till the last day and must take the course seriously, successful learners view online courses as a feasible way but not as an easier way to learn.
The instructors on the other hand must try their best to avoid having one way communication and to present proper feedback to the learners whenever they can so that they can assess themselves, they must present quality content that’s interactive and encouraging for the learners to give their own input and achieve the milestones in a successful manner.

The factors discussed above will definitely make the online learning experience a successful one and will make sure that the interaction is inspirational and educational at the same time.

Executive vs Part Time vs Full Time – Which MBA is right for you?

thumbnail

Positively it is little tricky that which MBA would be right or better whether executive or part time or full time and to answer this query we need to understand each above MBA differently.
Who can apply for Executive MBA or why Executive MBA is required?
All those working executives might feel or get sensitized on their official journey to upskill their knowledge and create more skills to achieve established goals of the organization. Since these executives are upwardly mobile hence they need different skills which might gain them employability glocally. These executives are the real target group for the executive programs.
All IIMs and top MBA Institutes offer executive programs for such candidates. But you need to have CAT score or GMAT score with high percentile to become eligible for filling up the applications for the executive programs. You got to have a minimum of five years of work experience to apply for executive program. Definitely after getting your name in the cut off list you will be subjected to group discussion and finally for personal interview.
The crucial point for executive programs is that you will be having teaching methodology which will be different from other programs and you will be undergoing for fifteen months and it will be a residential program for you. The other crucial factor executive program is that executive has to leave the job or gets sponsorship from the company and then join executive programs. The other difficult pastures have come now in the executive programs that placements are not guaranteed. But on the contrary those executives who are very confident personalities are positively opting for executive programs and after having upscaling their skills are venturing out to international markets with bold decisions.
On the other hand part time programs are also meant for the working executives with minimum five years of work experience but most of the time part time programs are suitable for those executives who are in marketing and sales domain in any company. The typical target group of part time program is that either they have not gone through management education earlier because of their previous weaknesses or circumstances. But now having realized this group of working executives would like to upscale their knowledge base and venture out differently. For a student who is thinking for part time programs has to go through objective type entrance test separately conducted by individual institute and after gaining minimum passing marks they still have to go through GD and PI. Top Institutes who are offering part time programs are conscious of the fact to intake quality students and that suits to the candidates even because your diploma as a part time is recognized by industry.
Typical nature of part time program is that you will be undergoing teaching for minimum three years and the biggest plus point for the working executive is that you need not leave your job and continue with your education to attend part time MBA classes in the evenings and on weekends. With the part time program there is no placement offers on behalf of the institute and the students have to network themselves to gain better prospects in the current organization or look forward to green pastures in other organizations.
Full Time MBA is a program where most of the fresh graduates apply and even working executives of maximum one or two years of experience also apply.
Those students who are looking for 2 years full time MBA program will have to have CAT/IIFT/XAT/SNAP/NMAT/CMAT/MAT/IBSAT/MAHCET valid scores and based on your cut off percentile the candidates will be subjected to either WAT or GD followed by PI. The differentiator of full time program is that during the entrance you are tested strictly for your quantitative skills and language skills and since in absence of your work experience your aptitude and attitude become very crucial for your selection.
Residential full time MBA gives you many other benefits of the campuses which offer you learning resources, industry visits and you also listen to the guest faculty which comprises of top haunches of the industry. With this full time program even the institute helps you to get placed in one of the best company and you are offered handsome package. During the campus stay you also learn cross culture observations and many a times you visit some foreign university under student exchange programs.
With the above it is evident that all these programs whether executive or part time or full time is right for an individual but depends you belong to which target group and you need to understand that how you can be eligible for each program and reap the dividends.
