WELCOME TO THE MUSGRAVE LEARNING ACADEMY 2019
Dear Retailer,
This brochure outlines the courses and workshops available for you and your team in 2019. More
information is available on the Musgrave Learning Academy http://musgrave.learnskills.ie
Building on the success of Service Excellence and the Real Experts programmes in 2018, we are
delighted to present to you our plans for 2019.
We really stepped on the Service Excellence standards during 2018 and made great progress.
Almost all stores are achieving excellence consistently. Our research showed that delivering
exceptional service in SuperValu resulted in customers spending on average 15.4% more! Checkout
is one area all customers visit when in store, and it is also the lowest scoring area. So, the priority
and focus on Service Excellence will continue into 2019, with particular focus on checkout.
There is a flat store charge of €650 for the inclusive training and support which is highlighted below.
The programmes and tools available to you and your employees as part of our inclusive training
offer in 2019 will include the following:
• Service Excellence Support
• Real Experts Programmes
• PCI – Credit Card Security Training
• HR Fora
• In excess of 40 eLearning modules to support all departments as well as reduced rates for Online
Manual Handling courses- All of these can be accessed through the Musgrave Learning Academy
- http://musgrave.learnskills.ie
• Unlimited use of the Cut-e Situational Judgement Questionnaire to help you
screen job applicants for an I-CARE attitude
Please note the cost of the new recuitment support will be in addition to the inclusive training charge.
We are delighted to continue to offer you additional training programmes to help you develop your teams.
These can be availed of outside of the inclusive training package and are available to book via our Musgrave
Learning Academy: http://musgrave.learnskills.ie 2
CIT Special Purpose Awards
We are excited to continue to run our highly successful Bakery Programme in conjunction with CIT.
This teaches candidates the skills of baking breads, cakes and pastries from scratch. This
programme has been described by one retailer as “having taken the witch-craft out of bakery”.
For the first time ever, this programme will run in Athlone!
In addition, we are pleased to confirm we will continue to run our bespoke Delicatessen programme. This
programme will develop employees’ knowledge in a wide range of Deli products and will give them
practical food preparation skills e.g. making soup, sandwiches and salads etc. It is an accredited
educational programme and as such staff will learn many of the theories behind why and how
things are done, rather than simply focusing on our recipes and toolkits. This will develop their
confidence and ability to talk to customers with credibility about the products in the Deli.
Individuals who complete both the Delicatessen and the Bakery programme will be awarded with
a Certificate in Retail Food Operations. Details of all CIT accredited courses can be found in our
“Further Education” section.
Please note that for any additional training courses we need minimum number of attendees (for
most courses this will be 8 people – for CIT and DIT it is 16 people). This is to ensure that courses are
run in a cost effective manner and that participants get the most from the programme.
Please remember that you can also arrange to run any of our training programmes specifically for
your store or group of stores. This can be organised by contacting any member of the Retail Training
team.
If there are training programmes you would like to see in this directory in the future or if you have a
current training need which is not covered as part of our 2019 offer please contact us as we can
advise and organise different types of training for you.
In this directory you will also find tools and support templates which will help you to get the most
from your training spend. These include a Training Needs Analysis and a Training Evaluation
template, along with a user guide to help you add new users onto the Musgrave Learning Academy
website and book them on to a course.
Thank you for all of your continued support and input in 2018 and we look forward to working with
you all again during 2019! If you wish to enquire about any of the information within this Directory
please don’t hesitate to email us on learning1@musgrave.ie or alternatively through the Retailer
Service Centre on 021-4803777.
Kind Regards,
The Retail Learning & Development Team

Cancellation Policy
It is the policy of Musgrave Retail Partners Ireland that any training cancellations made by phone must be followed by an immediate email at least
5 working days prior to the course. This will eliminate any dispute regarding cancellation charges for non-attendance. Failure to provide adequate
notice will result in a charge to the store and it may also result in disappointing other course candidates if the entire course has to be cancelled.

Maximising the Effectiveness of Your People
As the labour market continues to tighten, stores are finding it increasingly more challenging to recruit
skilled and experienced individuals, so it’s important to be able to “grow your own”. Training and
developing your people is a key way you can do this and is an important investment in the future of
your store. It will help people improve their performance and develop skills for current and future roles.
This will help drive your business forward and will support your succession planning. But…. if Training
is not planned properly it will not deliver the best return on your investment. Planning your training
starts with completing the Store Training Needs Analysis.
What is Training Needs Analysis (TNA)?
Training Needs Analysis is simply identifying what people need to learn to improve their current
performance and be ready for future changes (e.g. someone leaving, a new business initiative or a store
revamp etc.) People learn in lots of different ways, so it’s important to choose the most appropriate type
of learning. This might be a Training course or perhaps another way of learning. These include giving
people an opportunity to step up or take a sideways move, to lead a project or get some coaching. One
thing we can all benefit from is to get some feedback – so remember to talk with people about what
they are doing well and where specifically can they improve.
On the SuperValu Retailer toolkit you will find a copy of the TNA tool. This should be used each year as
part of your business plan to determine where the team need to improve. Each departmental
supervisor or manager should be asked to review each employee and discuss with the HR Manager
and Store Manager. The training gap is the difference between the skills your employees actually have
at the moment and the skills they need to keep your store competitive.
Identify the Training
Need
Who needs what?
Evaluate the Training Plan the Training
-De-brief LearnerWhat -When, What &
happened since? Where?
Implement the

-How? Brief Learner
How do you carry out a TNA?
The TNA will need to be carried at 3 levels in the store to identify gaps:
1. The Store Level – What training is required to support the store’s objectives/ strategies?
7
2. The Department Level – What training is needed to support change/ improvement
in each department?
3. The Employee Level – What is needed to support individual employees?
Where can you find the TNA document?
You can access the TNA document on the SuperValu Toolkit:
https://supervalu.visualid.com/filedownload/?i=b3JsYS5mYXJyZWxsQG11c2dyYXZlLmll$AC1E02E81b97a127E2uIRD518ACA$Te4b0545008c2b17c
or go to Brand Guidelines > HR > I-CARE Training Needs Analysis
Below is a sample of an appropriate ratio for a Learning & Development Plan.
Learning is composed of the following:
Education 10% Experience – 60% Learning From Others 30%
• Courses • Working in another • Feedback
department or store • Mentoring
• College • Step Up Roles • Coaching
• Secondments
• Performance Management
• Coaching Trial &Error
• Sideways move
• Leading a project
• Networking
• External Bodies
• Shadowing Rotation
Evaluate the Training by Briefing and De-Briefing your People
One of the things that is likely to lead to people being more likely to change following the training is
the involvement of their manager.
This starts with briefing the person before the course about:
• Why the trainee is going on the programme
• What the content of the programme will include
• What their own objectives are from the training
• How they might apply the learning back in store
Then after the Training:
Once the trainee has attended the programme meet with them to discuss and review the training
that has taken place. This should include:
• What did the trainee learn (including action plans)
• How can they apply the learning
• How can the Manager support the learning application
• Have an informal chat after they return from the training and then 2-3 weeks after the training
meet with them to see how they have applied the learning.
If you don’t do this, much of the learning will be lost and your investment will not be maximized!
See the following pages for examples of forms which will help to guide you in these discussions!

13Train & Retain with eLearning
A strong culture of continuous development will allow your store to both attract and retain an
effective, engaged workforce. eLearning is the perfect platform to develop your staff.
eLearning is one of the best ways to demonstrate your commitment to staff development. It allows
you to deliver tailored, personalised and engaging learning content that’s relevant for your store.
Most of our eLearning content is developed inhouse which ensures content is up to-date and relevant
for the end user.
Today’s learners are impatient – and in this case, impatience is a virtue! More than ever before, we’re
seeing people in the workforce display a real appetite for continued development within their role.
Plenty of companies offer fringe benefits to their staff, but if you want to get the best people – and
get the best out of them – you need to offer them development opportunities at all career stages.
It is important to demonstrate your commitment to developing the skills and knowledge of your staff.
Show people you care about their development by giving them the opportunity to grow in their
careers, and they’ll feel empowered, valued and capable of contributing more to your store. In turn,
your store will benefit from a group of motivated, loyal staff delivering increased productivity and
less need for constant supervision - whilst being far more likely to stay and grow further with your
business.
NEW FOR 2019
To make is easier for you in store, we have introduced training plans for several roles. For example;
if you have a new person in your Deli Counter you can now enroll them on a specific Deli Assistant
Training Plan. You can tailor the plan to suit the individual learner and their job role in your store.
The advantage of training plans is it increases motivation, job satisfaction and moral amongst your
employees. It will also allow you to easily track who has completed their training and more
importantly who has not completed their training. It is a great tool to use when inducting new
employees in your store (go to page 20 for instructions).
We have also added another new function where you can now track and record all your instore
training on the Musgrave Learning Academy. This will make it easier for you to centralize all your
E-Learning
staff training in one location (go to page 23 for further instructions).
We continue to develop and build our library of eLearning courses. All Store Managers and HR
Managers are automatically enrolled on new courses. Please review and enroll your staff on Training
Plans and courses relevant to them.
Email learning1@musgrave.ie if you have any queries on any of the above courses.
14Benefits of eLearning
• Consistently building employee knowledge yields higher sales
• Cost effective, flexible and allows you to run training at a time that suits you
• Can be used on a PC, laptop, tablet or mobile device
• Easy way to book, track and report on learning, one system for managing

Training 2019
26Service Excellence Support Programme
As you know when shoppers in SuperValu receive exceptional service they spend on average 15.4%
more! We have seen some fantastic improvements in our mystery shop results and continue to lead
on service in the Red C surveys. However we have also seen our competitors continue to focus on
improving their service and all are now delivering the basics.
In-Store Service Excellence Support Programme
Across most SuperValu stores, our results show the biggest opportunity
for improvement is at checkout… which is also one of the most
important areas for our customers. Therefore in 2019 there will be an
increased focus on checkout in the mystery shop with some questions
being worth more points. We also need to continue to maintain and build
on our results in other areas.
Service Excellence differentiates our stores by ensuring all our shoppers receive genuinely friendly
efficient service and experience our passion and love of food. This will inspire them to try new
products, new ranges and recipes – resulting in additional sales. Our updated 2019 in-store
support programme will give you the tools to deliver Service Excellence in your store.
As you know stores are responsible for training their own staff on Service Basics and Service
Excellence. To support this we will offer a Service Excellence Leader Tools Workshop programme
in 2019– please see page 59 for information.
When the MRPI Learning & Development (L&D) Specialist goes into store their role is to re-focus the
senior team on service, provide them with tools and some training to help them re-focus their staff to
deliver service excellence. Resources are limited so please contact us to agree a date for your store.
In revamping stores the MRPI L&D Specialist will focus on the Top 8 People Practises which will help
drive the culture forward. They will also train key employees in our 2019 content. This helps ensure
sustainability of the programme, support for staff after training and that new staff are trained up
as they join the business.
Target Audience
Elements of this visit are aimed at the Store Owner / Manager whilst other parts are focused on the
Charge hands / Assistant Managers and Store Employees.
Duration
The level of support will run on average over a minimum of 1 day, depending on the individual
needs of your store (revamp stores will receive additional time).
Due to the level of change, revamp stores will be given additional support.
27Outline of the Service Excellence In-Store Support Programme:
Below is a sample of the types of activities the L&D Specialist will work on with you and your team
during the in-store support programme. As each plan will be bespoke to the individual store’s
requirements, L&D Specialists may carry out some but not all of the below activities during the
support programme.
➢ Store Owner meeting - including feedback framework
➢ TNA review
In-Store Service Excellence Support Programme
➢ Management sessions “from Good to Great” to include:
➢ Review of feedback framework
Developing own plan for future
Ways of working together
Blockages /Hygiene factors
Focus on NPS drivers
➢ Service Excellence Leader meeting
➢ 1:1s with chargehands
➢ Team Building
Note: for revamp stores an individual store support plan will be agreed.
What Will We Be Able to Do After the Support Programme?
➢ Review the store’s 2019 Service Excellence vision.
➢ Improve priority areas relevant to the store e.g. for many stores this is checkout, for others it
may be Sundays
➢ Develop a plan of action / road map on how to get there with the full team.
➢ All Key Influencers delivering and role modelling our updated Service Excellence
behaviours including resolving customer complaints, proactively offering appropriate information
or help confidently selling through people.
➢ Key Influencers can confidently guide others a b o u t our S ervice Excellence behaviours
and give them feedback to enhance the overall customer experience in your store.
NOTES:
The MRPI Learning & Development Specialist has limited time available for each store –
unfortunately in the event of a store cancelling at short notice the L&D Specialist is unlikely to be
able to reschedule training for that store.
We encourage you to contact your L&D Specialist to secure your date(s) as soon as possible

improvements will be introduced in the 2019 Real Experts Bakery programme and this Bakery
