Home Depot Inc. will begin requiring corporate employees to work a full day at one of its stores every quarter, a move the company said is aimed at supporting its retail staff.
That’s good but I’d prefer it to be longer, like one week as per the top comment. More time to pick up on the flow of a given store, sometimes you don’t get all the unwritten rules all at once.
Eh, with 4 days a year they’ll be essentially perpetual new employees who don’t know how anything works and who aren’t given any training or responsibilities because they’ll be gone tomorrow. Everyone will be on their best behavior and no one will tell them the ways they need to break the rules to get stuff done because they’re outsiders who are either management or might rat them out to management. This is a gimmick.
It’s 4 days a year, making them see what it’s like is a pretty good idea
