Pro Training Strategy
Create a "training rotation" where one employee trains while others maintain operations. This ensures continuous improvement without operational disruption. Schedule training during off-peak hours and always have backup coverage.
Building Your Dream Team
The advanced employee training system transforms your monkey workforce from basic helpers into specialized professionals. By strategically investing in training and creating balanced teams, you can achieve operational excellence that far exceeds what any single player could accomplish alone.
Remember that training is an investment, not an expense. A well-trained team will generate significantly more revenue and handle complex situations that would overwhelm untrained employees. Start with the basics, plan your specializations carefully, and watch your Monkey Mart become the most efficient supermarket in town!
