Inter Departmental Racking Audit Revamp

Associated with IKEA Etobicoke

  • Etobicoke Unit: Worked closely with BRCM to develop a training model that encouraged all co-worker’s of the Business Risk & Compliance to take part of the weekly racking audit (life safety). Co-Workers were trained 1-on-1 over a period of 6 weeks to learn the audit. Project was completed throughly and seamless. Concluded with the team learning the audit and connecting amongst themselves to go do the audit together or alone. This project allowed Etobicoke to be the only Retail unit outside of CDC/DC IKEA Canada, Specifically the Greater Toronto Area BRC Teams that conducts the audit as a team instead of a split amongst a sole or two co-workers.
