Thousands of retail workers are set to benefit from formally-recognised sales training under a new employee investment initiative being rolled out by Esso. Under the newly-announced scheme, more than 4,000 shop-floor staff working at the company's service stations across the UK are to be given the opportunity to gain an EDI Diploma Level 2 in Retail. Combining on-the-job sales training with more formal assessment, the course is designed to enhance an individual's overall knowledge of the retail sector, with Esso confident that its programme will ultimately save the company money in the long-run as customer-facing workers progress to more senior roles over the coming years. Announcing the launch of the initiative, Nick Berthiaux, manager of Esso's retail arm ROC, explained: "This is a great opportunity to recognise the contribution our sales advisors make to our business. "By investing in their personal development and helping them succeed in building a career with Esso everyone is a winner." Esso currently employs around 5,000 people through its UK service stations, while its parent company, ExxonMobil, also boasts 7,600 direct employees, alongside 1,600 contractors.
