Safety Refresher for Employees - See Completions in Looker Studio
Two weeks ago, we launched the Safety Refresher Training, a mandatory training for all employees who are with Flink for longer than 1 year.
We have now integrated the completion tracking into the Onboarding dashboard!
Hub Manager can track completion status for each employee in the Employee Level tab.
Hereās a quick breakdown of how it works:
āCompletedā / āNot completedā is shown for employees who:
Completed the Onboarding course over a year ago, or
Joined Flink over a year ago but never completed the Onboarding course.
šThese employees need to complete the Safety Refresher Training.
ā
ā
'Not eligibleā is shown for employees who:
Completed the Onboarding course within the last year, or
Joined Flink less than a year ago.
Important: While theyāre not yet eligible for the refresher, they should still complete the Onboarding course if they havenāt already.
Please make sure everyone eligible completes this training, to ensure we comply with legal training requirements!
The training can be found in the Wf App -> Training Section

Pickers Needed Indicator Update - live tomorrow, May 21st
Tomorrow, we will update the logic behind the Pickers needed indicator in the Hub Portal - Orders Dashboard.
The indicator considers the time a rider would take to arrive back at the hub and accordingly indicates how many pickers should be currently picking. Weāve improved mathematical models and estimations behind, thus the number should be more accurate. š
Supply Chain Updates____________________________________

š¤Donāt forget the back stock! When moving products to their new shelf, always remember to check and reposition any backstock on the top shelves as well!
Read more about the different Hub Sizes here!
Why do we do shelf changes?
Shelf changes are primarily made to optimize product placement, such as moving items from an S to an XS shelf. This allows the shelves to be listed in more hubs than they currently are, expanding the assortmentās size across all hubs rather than concentrating it in only the larger L or XL hubs.
For example, by consolidating products on an S shelf, we can free up space on a relatively empty M shelf and streamline product placement from top to bottom.
This process will continue in the near future as we work to broaden our assortment. Expanding our assortment ultimately increases the potential basket size for customers.
If you notice products that donāt fit the shelves when following the facings, flag them via the āFacings feedbackā option in Hub Alert.
