During the annual employee survey, people kept complaining about the lack of training and high expectations without proper training. Turn over is so high that when new people get trained, they only get taught 60% of what they need to know. Knowlege keeps getting watered down with every turn over cycle. At this point, most people have only been properly trained 25% on their job. 75% of knowledge has been lost. The best training is hands on and mentoring.
The unions kept demanding more and better training during contract negotiations.
Once a year, HR would send out a report for everyone in the store to sit in front of the computer to do all their annual CBT (computer based training) modules. Those are the computer training you did when you got hired.
The Zebra was introduced. Fresh Start was created. Probably spent $100 million on the zebras and $20 million writing the fresh start training modules. 90% of the CBTs are incorporated into FreshStart. 10% of CBTs need to be done when you log into MyInfo--Training. MyInfo is where you check your paystub. Do not do the training unless you are clocked in. I bet you have some CBTs due if you check MyInfo-->training.
Here we are today. FreshStart replaced the CBT modules. If you do it daily, then you won't have to sit at the computer for 6 hours to get off the annual HR list. I assume FreshStart is supposed to be programmed to cover what you need for your specific job(fuel center). You might be coded wrong or there isn't a fuel center training selection. Ask your store manager to see if you are coded right.
There was a press release that kro spent hundreds of millions on training. That would be Freshstart. So corporate wants to get the biggest bang for their buck. They are forcing all the store managers to make sure all employees are doing their daily fresh start training.
So, the people that originally complained about lack of training on the annual employee survey no longer work for kroger. Out of 414,000 kroger employees, only 3 of them like doing FreshStart. I am one of them.
I do have a conspiracy theory to add if you would be interested. I would need to check my diary to refresh my memory.

The dumbest thing about it is the games. Talk about a time waster. Of course I've never played them, but I do know people who do. It makes me wonder about the mentality of the people who decided to include them.

I think the games are there to appeal to the younger crowd. Trying to make Freshstart fun like a gaming platform. I suspect everything is being programmed onto the zebra to appeal to the tech savy and cell phone generation.
The games irritate me. I am trying to figure out the game and it is interrupted to answer a question. Then, once I think I have the hang of the game, it is over. No fun for me.

It's a job. You're not there to have fun. I like to play games too, but work is not the time nor place.
I spend 30 min answering one segment (question) and I really don't give a sh---it about this any more. I was against it from the beginning and now you people are catching on. I learn nothing from fresh start and it is the most useless training program i've ever used.

I only go on there to get points. When I am.playing thr game and it interrupts itself for some stupid question I just click on an answer without even reading, then go back to the game. I don't think I've everbgotten one answer correct.

They're not conspiracy theories. They're spoiler alerts because they almost always end up being true. Go ahead and post your theory. You're probably right.

They check the answers that the users give. If they see just any answer that is obviously wrong, they're going to ask questions and make thr user get additional training. Its happened at our store numerous times.
