2.š Hub Leadership Training: GDPR
As Hub Leaders, you handle a lot of sensitive information every day, especially employee (performance) data. To help you navigate this safely, we are excited to share a new training lesson for hub leadership.
Keeping employee data secure isn't just about ticking off a compliance box; it's about respecting our team's privacy and maintaining their trust. This short video is a quick, practical guide to ensuring we always handle performance data securely and in full compliance with GDPR.
Here is what you will learn in this short video:
Why GDPR matters: Understand the real-world importance of compliance when dealing with sensitive employee (performance) data.
Spotting the risks: Learn to recognise the dangers and consequences of sharing this information inappropriately.
Everyday best practices: Discover actionable ways to securely manage and share performance data within your hub leadership team.
What NOT to do: Identify prohibited actions and common pitfalls that can easily lead to accidental data breaches or GDPR violations.
As leaders, we protect our team's privacy by starting with us. Please make sure to carve out some time this week to complete the lesson.

š Flinkās Best Price Campaign: Youāre part of the message.
We now offer 300+ favourites at the lowest prices on the market, guaranteed. Many customers don't know yet, and that's where you come in. When you hand over an order, you have a moment to change that. A few friendly words can make a real difference.
Here's what customers see in the app, so you know what's behind the campaign:
The Three Things to Know
01 |
300+ prices, lowest online
Not a sale, these are the new regular prices.
|
02 |
Best price on the market
We now match or beat other online supermarkets on key items.
|
03 |
Found it cheaper? We refund you.
Price match guarantee, no questions asked.
|
How You Can Contribute
1. Riders spread the word
We'd love for our riders to inform customers about the new prices wherever possible. Here's the message they'll be briefed on tomorrow:
What to say at the door
"By the way, we now have 400+ products with our lowest price guarantee, the cheapest on the online market. If you find something cheaper elsewhere online, we'll match it and refund the difference. You'll spot them in the app by the blue arrow label."
Keep it light and friendly, you're sharing good news, not selling. One sentence is enough if the customer seems in a hurry. Additionally hand them the Flyer.
|
If they ask questions
Q: Is this just a temporary promotion?
A: No, these are the new prices. Flink has permanently changed pricing on 400+ products.
Q: Which products are cheaper?
A: The most popular everyday items, the things people order most. Customers can see the full list in the Flink app, marked with the Best Price arrow.
Q: How does the price guarantee work?
A: If a customer finds the same product cheaper at another online store, Flink refunds the difference. Full details are in the app.
Q: Isn't Flink still more expensive than supermarkets?
A: Our prices are now the lowest compared to other online supermarkets on hundreds of items, plus delivery straight to the door. It's a great deal overall.
A few tips
Mention it naturally, while handing over the bag and the flyer.
Smile, you're sharing genuinely good news.
Keep it short. One or two sentences is perfect.
If they're in a rush, just say "prices have dropped, check it out" and move on.
2. In the hubs
You'll soon receive special flyers to add to customer orders, along with posters to display in the hub so the whole team can see the campaign. Stay tuned.
