Does anyone have any idea what is expected on the 3 day Induction Course for new Workplace Coaches? Does anyone have any Course content or know where I can get it.

What do you mean what is expected?

It was basically a training course and you get to do group activities to demonstrate your ability to explain things to people etc.

And we got food :)

Also, don't 4 get the allowance is pro rata, so if you're part-time don't be looking for £30!

I get the £30 pro rata as I'm part time (although if I do less hours for any reason, they deduct money.... don't add any on when I do full time though!!)

However, I DO work for my money. I put together new starter packs and do PAF. Plus a load of other rubbish.

It's pro rata like everything that part timers get. Doesn't matter what hours you work, you get it at what you're contracted. I can do the same hours as a full timer for the year but when it comes to bonuses, I get pro rata.

Doesn't really bother me, I'm actively seeking alternative employment.

PAF- Postcode address file. I do the updates so they can sell the database and make lots of money. Sorted out several offices so far. And did I get a chairman's award for it? pmsl

What is the point of a "Workplace Coach". ? Why not just "shadow" another postie for a fews days or so ? Will save RM money.
