Fancy yourself as a WCM champion or champion support?

Post by POSTMAN »

https://www.myroyalmail.com/news/nation ... east-so-18" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Would you like to take a lead role in the transformation of Deliveries?

Recruitment is open from 21 January for the next round of training academies for champions (Ms2) and champion supports (Ms4). Applications close on 4 February.

Academies

The academies give candidates 10 weeks of WCM training through a mix of classroom learning and practical training at a site that is already using WCM techniques. Once qualified, they will then be responsible for introducing WCM in delivery offices in their allocated sector.

Leon Aikman completed the training in September and is now WCM champion for the CV postcode sector in Coventry and Rugby.

Benefits

He says: ‘Before the academy, I was nearing the end of my graduate placement with the Midlands indoor working methods team. I applied for the WCM champion role because I have seen what WCM has done for units, and particularly the dramatic impact it can have on involving employees, and I wanted to bring those benefits to this sector.

‘The academy gave me a great insight into the basics of WCM, and was particularly effective in getting an understanding of the Safety and Workplace Organisation pillars. It also helped me to meet people and share information for the benefit of the whole sector.’

Apply at http://www.royalmailgroup.com/myjob" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; between 21 January and 4 February. The reference number for champion vacancies is RML049357 and for support vacancies RML049358.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Who the hell speaks like this? Oh yeah, Graduate Recruits who know all the theory but none of the practical side of the job and whose man management skills are usually non existant. :d'oh!

NO !!

This will expose poor managers even more. Royal Mail are ploughing fortunes into this WCM s**t and lazy managers WILL be expected to work alongside rep's, OPG's and their designated champions to make this work. They'll have to sell it to staff first as full engagement is priority to make it work. We all know how much faith and trust we've got with local management..... :crazy:

I've applied. I see myself as a great believer in WCM, it is definitely the way forward, it would be a marvellous achievement to become known as the WCM Champion - just like when I was made milk monitor at primary school since when I have never looked back. This would be the pinnacle to my long and varied career - please vote for me.................is it an election?

I spent 7 hours at a WCM event full of DOMs/DSMs last week and I still don't know what the f**k its all about. Lost the will to live after 30 mins!
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

More than a whiff of 'The Emporers New Clothes' about schemes like this.

Remember the 'Consignia' fiasco?
