VISA - Matriculation Recollection

  • Currently, 340 employees whose enrollment is valid until February 28, 2025 and who have a student visa have still not uploaded a new enrollment confirmation.

  • Without a valid enrollment certificate, continued employment is not allowed. If we do not receive any feedback from the employees, we are obliged to pause their Quinyx accounts!

Please support us by reminding the students in your hub that they must submit their current enrollment certificate.

TGTG Assistant in HubOne - Go Live Wed 9am

From Wednesday 26.2.25 - 9am the TGTG Assistant will be rolled out to all hubs!

We use Too Good To Go/Flink Surprise bags to resell products that otherwise would be thrown away. This is how we utilize our waste in a more efficient way.

When making these bags we often over-fill compared to the suggested value due to a lack of visibility of product prices.

The TGTG Assistant is built into HubOne and shows the prices of products we sell based on App prices and gives warnings if added products equal over the suggested goal.

Please note: TGTG/Flink surprise bags still need to be added to the system manual for sale!

Please take a look at the detailed presentation for more information, and OA/Riders can check out the Edume Guide in the training section of WF App.

New Rider Onboarding live 🚀🚀

What’s new?

  1. New Content: revised and updated content, focused on the relevant topics for riders. Additional training on:

  1. New Format: Mobile-optimized format, GIFs & visualizations instead of long videos, and engaging quizzes, multi-language to choose between DE and EN.

  1. New Structure: Instead of one long course, we split it into 3 shorter courses - shared at the most relevant times:
    ​
    ​

  • Flink Intro & Shift Management: sent once they book the OB shift (15min)

    • How does Flink work

    • Who is who

    • Quinyx, Availability, Sick leave and vacation requests
      ​
      ​

    • Punch In, Bike assignment

      ​
      ​

    • Compliance KPIs and how to follow them

    • Performance KPIs and how to improve

  1. Onboarding at the Hub
    ​
    ​

Onboarding is only effective if new joiners get the right experience at the hub.

  • Onboarders should complete their EduMe Course before they start riding with a buddy.

  • Before leaving, explain them Quinyx, how to set Availability, and answer any questions

  • Engagement is key to a successful onboarding experience!

Use this poster as a guide for onboarding a new rider:

Where can new joiners find their Training?

All staff can find assigned training in their WF App under ‘Trainings’.

Sometimes, there can be delays for new joiners who book their OB shift very close to their contract start date. If they cannot find the training in the App, please tell them to search for the email headers above, or check with them the Inbox in the App under ‘Notifications’.

Please note: For the time being, existing employees will still see both the new and the old courses in their Training dashboard. We will backfill the old completions into the new training asap.

Employees blocked — an indication of block reason added in WF profiles

Recently the indication of the Blocked status of Workforce accounts was improved, to provide more information about the reason for the block and improve the access to the Unblock function.

If employees see the “You are blocked” error message when logging in to the Workforce app, or when punching in — please check their WF profiles in the Hub portal for additional information about block reasons.

Rider View:

Reason for the block will be shown in the WF profile in form of the red label in the header next to the employees name.

Possible block reasons and necessary actions:

  • Blocked — account was blocked automatically or manually and can be unblocked by any HM/SL/OA+ account using Unblock function in the Actions menu;

  • IP blocked — account blocked automatically due to suspicious login activity, can be unblocked by HM/SL/OA+ account, and it is recommended to reset the password as well. Riders also receive notification about the block by the email and can use Unblock button in the email to verify that suspicious activity was coming from them;

    • For both Blocked and IP blocked reasons — if unblocking doesn’t work or you don’t have personal access to Hub portal — please report in #tech_hub_service-de channel.

  • Visa expired — it is not possible to remove this type of the block in the hub, employee was automatically blocked in WF and Quinyx due to expired visa or other document. The employee was notified in advance about necessary actions by email and is not allowed to work without valid updated documents. In such cases please ask employees to upload all the necessary documents and contact the Workforce support team for unblocking. If the ticket is already created, HM can use the escalation form in Zendesk.

How to take the picture of the TRT:

  2. Everything has to be clearly visible

  3. Both Signatures (REWE driver & Hub) have to be included

Shelf changes

_________________________________

[1.0 + 3.0 Hubs] Shelf Changes

Please try accessing the link using hub’s goflink account. Access requests using private mail addresses will be declined.

In the google drive folder you will find the G-sheet files for all the hubs that are affected in the shelf change.

Please only follow the ones that have exactly the same naming of your hubs and also be careful with following the same hub code while downloading the files.

Please find the file here

Some notes on the sheets:

  • The sheets are, as mentioned above, Hub specific. So only the sheet named with your hub code is valid for your hub.

  • "SKU" you can find the SKU which needs to be moved to another shelf space.

  • "oldShelf" - 4th column: If the cell is empty or has 999X, we just assigned this product to your Hub, so please just store it in the shelf mentioned in "new shelf".

  • "newShelf" - 5th column: If the cell is empty or has 999X, the product has been delisted in your hub.

  • if both "shelf" and "newShelf" have a shelf number, it's a normal shelf change.

  • The changes will go live tonight between 01 am and 07 am, please reorder the products tonight/ tomorrow morning.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Muhammad Al Zabir Rakin.

Thank you!
