Meet GreenPath Solutions, a mid-sized logistics company based in Lagos, Nigeria. Despite its growing clientele, the company struggled with operational inefficiencies that led to delayed deliveries and customer dissatisfaction. Leadership recognized that their front-line employees, particularly warehouse staff and dispatch riders, needed training to improve their skills in time management, communication, and customer service.
GreenPath collaborated with a Learning and Development firm to conduct a customized training program aimed at addressing these pain points. The training focused on:
Time Management Techniques
Customer Service Excellence
Efficient Communication Channels
Problem-Solving Strategies in Logistics
The sessions were interactive, featuring real-life scenarios, role-playing activities, and problem-solving exercises tailored to their logistics operations. However, training was not the end—it was just the beginning. To ensure the lessons stuck, GreenPath implemented the following strategies:
Post-Training Reinforcement: Managers conducted weekly check-ins to review how employees applied their training. This created accountability and allowed for troubleshooting challenges in real time.
Peer-to-Peer Learning: Employees who excelled in applying the training were paired with colleagues as informal mentors, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing.
Incentives for Application: The Company introduced recognition awards for staff who demonstrated significant improvement in performance metrics aligned with the training.
Leadership Support: Managers modelled behaviours taught during training, such as clear communication and timely feedback, reinforcing expectations.
Within three months of the training:
Delivery delays decreased by 35%, with packages arriving on or before promised times.
Customer satisfaction scores improved from 68% to 89%, thanks to better communication and service.
Employee productivity increased by 25%, as team members began using time management techniques effectively.
One warehouse supervisor, Ade, shared his experience: "Before the training, I struggled with prioritizing tasks. Now, I use the techniques we learned to plan my day effectively, and it’s made a big difference in how my team operates."
The Ripple Effect
This success led GreenPath to make training transfer a key part of its employee development strategy. The logistics company saw not only operational improvements but also boosted morale and retention, as employees felt empowered by their growth.
