WELCOME TO THE MUSGRAVE LEARNING ACADEMY 2018
Dear Retailer,
This booklet outlines the courses and workshops available for you and your team in 2018. More information
is available on the Musgrave Learning Academy http://musgrave.learnskills.ie
Following on from the success of Service Excellence and the Real Experts programmes in 2017, we are
delighted to present to you our plans for 2018.
We really stepped up the Service Excellence standards during 2017 and made great progress. Our research
showed that delivering exceptional service in SuperValu resulted in customers spending on average 15.4%
more! So the priority and focus on Service Excellence will continue into 2018.
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
2018 will include the following:
• Service Excellence In-store Support
• HR Fora’s
• Real Experts Programmes’
• In excess of 30 E-Learning 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
**Pages 13-28 give a full explanation on what the above entails.
Please note the cost of the new recuitment support will be in addition to the charge.
As always, the directory contains a suite of additional training programmes that you and your team can avail
of outside of the inclusive training package. These are available to book via our Musgrave Learning Academy:

CIT Special Purpose Awards – 2018
We are excited to confirm we have developed a brand new bespoke Delicatessen programme in conjunction
with CIT. 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.
We will also continue to run our highly successful Bakery Programme – this teaches candidates to bake
breads, cakes and pastries from scratch. This programme has been described by one retailer as “having
taken the witch-craft out of bakery”. 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.
2
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 2018 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 2017 and we look forward to working with you all
again during 2018! 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 Training Team.

Best Team!

Maximising the Effectiveness of Your People
Stores are finding it increasingly harder and harder 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 a Training Needs Analysis (TNA)?
A 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 courses 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.
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?
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?
You can access the TNA document on the SuperValu Toolkit: http://supervalu.visualid.
com/?lbid=N7516ee2cbc83d977 or go to Brand Guidelines > HR > Retailer Training & Dev
> Training Needs Analysis > Diagnostic Tool
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
• College department or store • Mentoring
• Step Up Roles • Coaching
• Secondments • Performance Mgmt
• Coaching Trial &Error
• Sideways move
• Leading a project
• Networking
• External Bodies
• Shadowing Rotation
7
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 maximised!

Retail Excellence
Training 2018
19In-Store Service Excellence Support Programme
We 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.
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. 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
In-Store Service Excellence Support Programme
products, new ranges and recipes – resulting in additional sales. Our updated 2018 in-store support
programme will run over a minimum of 3 days and will give you the skills and 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. When the Musgrave Retail Partners I-CARE Trainer & Advisor 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. The Musgrave Retail Partners trainer & advisor will
also train key employees in our 2018 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. To support
this we will offer a Service Excellence Leader Tools Workshop programme in 2018 – please see page
47 for information
Target Audience
Elements of this visit are aimed at the Store Owner / Manager whilst other parts are focused on the
Chargehands / Assistant Managers and Store Employees.
Duration
The level of support will run on average over a minimum of 2 days, depending on the individual needs
of your store (revamp stores will receive additional time).
Outline of the Service Excellence In-Store Support Programme:
Below is a sample of the types of activities the Trainer 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,
Trainers may carry out some but not all of the below activities during the support programme.
• Informal Mystery Shop Visit
• Initial Owner/Manager briefing to draft store plan and review your store’s Training Needs
• Analysis and Plan
• Management Team & Key Influencers – vision update, overview of consumer experience
and how to use this to drive service, service recovery, delegation, top 8 service
practices,and action planning
• Observation, behavioural assessment and feedback of team in store
• Owner/Manager Coaching sessions
• Training and support for in-store ICARE champion / Service Excellence Leader
• Employee I-CARE Training - focus on 2018 Selling through Service – this is for key hallmark
colleagues e.g. Fish, Deli, Bakery, Health & Wellness, Off License
• Checkout Employee I-CARE training
• Coaching with each of your Senior Team post training – focus on giving effective feedback
• Follow up maintenance visit post support
20What Will We Be Able to Do After the Support Programme?
• Review the store’s 2018 Service Excellence vision.
• 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 train others on our new Service Excellence behaviours
and give them feedback to enhance the overall customer experience in your store.
NOTE: The Musgrave Retail Partners I-CARE Trainer and Advisor has limited time available for each
store – unfortunately in the event of a store cancelling at short notice the Trainer is unlikely to be
able to reschedule training for that store.
In-Store Service Excellence Support Programme
I-CARE Tools – Available on the Retailer Toolkit
All of the in-store training tools are available on the SuperValu Retailer Toolkit. Throughout the year
we will develop and add new tools and materials to support you on our new Service Excellence

33IINH Introduction to Nutrition & Health
We are all much more aware of the impact of what we eat on our health. As a result many stores have
put in place a Health & Wellness section or they have increased their range of Free From foods and
benefit foods. Many have also added ranges such as vitamins and food supplements.
In order to ensure employees provide correct advice to customers and to help maximise sales, it is
important any employees working in this section are fully trained. This means they receive training
from the supplier on the products they are selling; and as a minimum they should also be trained
in understanding the basics of health & nutrition. Partnering with the Irish Institute of Nutrition &
Health (IINH) we have developed a 2 day introduction programme.
Target Audience
This programmed is aimed at anyone working in the Health & Wellness section of the store
or anyone with an interest in Health & Nutrition.
Duration 2 days
Topics Include:
• Food & Health: Overview of current challenges, understandings & developments
IINH Introduction to Nutrition & Health
• Carbs, Sugar, Fats, Cholesterol, Salt: the headline problems. Understanding labels: formats,
ingredient lists (incl. additives), nutrition terms & data, nutrition & health claims.
• Wholefood Nutrition: Food groups (meat, fish, dairy, vegetables, fruits, nuts & seeds, fats/oils) &
their nutrient profiles. Impacts of processing on nutrients.
• Special Diets & Products: intolerances to gluten, wheat, lactose, milk proteins, other
common ingredients. Learn how to check labels to assist customers.
What Will I Be Able to Do After the Course?
• Provide basic advice to customers
• Know when to refer the customer to a third party e.g. health professional
What Difference Will the Course Make? (When I implement the learning!)
• Improved mystery shopper
• Increased sales

in house. Please contact the Training Department for more information.

IINH Nutrition and Wellness Training for Fresh Food
In SuperValu we provide the best customer service in grocery retailing in Ireland. Our competitors are
continuing to improve and one of the ways we can really differentiate our level of service is by offering
customers information that is relevant to them. Like everyone our customers are much more aware of
the potential impact of what they eat on their health, so they really appreciate any hints and tips we
can provide about the food we sell. And when customers are given this level of exceptional service we
know they are more likely to increase their spend in-store!
In order to give those working on the Meat or Fish Counter and the Produce section an understanding

Breakthrough Programme
Companies and organisations around the world are facing unprecedented change as they prepare
themselves for the future by changing structures, merging and reinventing themselves.
Many see this as a tremendous opportunity for growth, innovation and success – while others can
find it daunting as their familiar world disappears. Yet still, there is the challenge for everyone to
accomplish more – and do it faster!
The Breakthrough Programme will provide an opportunity for you to work on the business and
yourself rather than working in the business. This is working at a different and more powerful level
with a focus on outcomes and possibilities rather than barriers and limitations. You will find that this
gives you the freedom, energy and creativity to collectively design a compelling and dynamic future.
One area that differentiates Breakthrough from other development programmes is that it focuses on
us as human beings, from a holistic perspective, rather than traditional programmes that typically
focus only on our working lives.
The Breakthrough Programme will give each of you a powerful set of principles, strategies and tools
to shape the future of your enterprise and create new worlds and possibilities. You will develop
fresh, innovative strategies to propel you to your chosen destinations. As a result you can command
a greater share of the future for your business and your brands. The Breakthrough Programme is a
highly participative and interactive event that guides individuals, teams and organisations through
the learning, creative and transformational experiences necessary to function in a more powerful
way – faster, more flexible, more innovative and more productive. In this new state your business will
perform as a more powerful system – a dynamic interplay of people, principles and practices that
Breakthrough Programme
consistently produce exceptional, breakthrough results.
The challenge of the future, with all of its complexities and uncertainties is ultimately a challenge
from within – how do I maintain the balance in my life between self and business, performance and
results, vision and action? We will show you how to achieve this essential balance. On a personal level,
you will find this programme will transform your energy, your health and well-being as well as your
thinking, your creativity, and your productivity for both personal and professional benefit.
37Breakthrough Booster Manager Programme
All Breakthrough programme attendees will be invited to attend one additional booster within 6-12
moths of their first session. This session is a vital enabler in terms of each store sustainably embedding
the Breakthrough tools, mind-sets and behaviours into their respective businesses. The booster will
remind all participants of how each tool is authentically to be used, at home and at work, as well as
Breakthrough Booster Manager/Intensive Programme
adding a new skill-set which will complement those already known.
Target Audience
All previous tools day attendees
Duration 1 days
Cost TBC

been both inspirational and impactful for many retailers. It will raise your energy levels and inspire

On this programme your management teams will go through all the key breakthrough tools such as
feedback framework, power time, red train, blue train, full on, line of one and Gossip Success. Partici-
pants on this programme will use the breakthrough tools and develop 100 day plans for their stores.

Programme.

What Difference Will the Course Make? (When I implement the learning!)
Achieve essential balance, fresh, innovative ways of thinking when dealing with your team, business
Breakthrough Manager Programme
and personal life. Become a Breakthrough Role Model enabling you to lead and coach your teams to
deliver breakthrough business performance. Identify the Breakdowns that are holding your business
back and turn these into Breakthroughs. Re-fuel and re-energise yourself for the next phase of growth.
Empower your people to generate the best results from the tools, moving beyond ‘show and tell’ to
tangible business outputs. Become some who manages life rather than someone who life manages!!
