We are passionate about associate training, having launched our internal Training Academy in 2006, and are proud supporters of the HFI Training School. We recognise the importance to our industry of knowledgeable associates to ensure that the consumer receives the most accurate and appropriate advice to suit their requirements.
The HFI Training School provides an invaluable resource of distant learning materials, written by industry experts, so that students can study at their own pace. This is particularly beneficial to smaller chains of healthfood and independent retailers who, albeit enthusiastic, do not necessarily have the time or resources available to train their associates adequately.
Commitment to training is paramount to ensure we can safeguard our industry and support our associates in delivering an excellent level of customer care.
