Requirements

  • The Floor Managers' primary task is to act as the "Customer Service Representative." They should walk the sales floor, personally help customers, and pull associates from tasks as the need for more help with customers arises. After the flow of customers has slowed, the associates should be redirected to their original tasks until needed again. While watching for customers, the Floor Manager should monitor the receiving and checking in of all merchandise and with direction from the Manager, screen upcoming ad stock levels along with planning out the merchandising of products. During the week, when other Managers are present, the Floor Managers should focus their attention on giving good direction and following up on work assignments and areas being watched by the Associates. They are also responsible for handling and processing merchandise defectives and out of stock scans weekly. When no other Managers are present, the Floor Manager is responsible for the entire store operations and must shift their attention to the monitoring of the front end area and that the associates are providing Amazing customer service.
  • Floor Managers also coordinate ongoing hands on product training for all Associates. This is done through communication with both the Manager and Assistant Manager to determine who will provide training and in what areas. Only management or a qualified Associate will provide this training using the Product Knowledge Training Sheets in the Associates Journey Map.
  • A "Weekly Task Sheet" detailing specific duties along with daily projects will be used by all Floor Managers. Again, concentration on the sales floor is your main focus. When there is another management person present, you do not need to answer register or refund calls unless specifically called by name. A copy of specific Floor Manager duties will be given to all current Floor Managers and will also be utilized by the District Managers during their training process for new Floor Managers.
