Proven Winners Offers Employee Training to IGCs
This March marks the 10th year Proven Winners has offered an employee training program exclusive to independent garden centers with more than 7,000 employees completing the program last year. The Proven Winners Certified iGarden Training is comprised of a video and then an online test.
The process is simple – garden center owners and managers log into the Proven Winners site (PWcertified.com) using their Brand Champion id# and password while indicating how many employees they will have completing the program. Retailers and their employees can watch the video as a group, or individually, and then each completes an online questionnaire.
Once everyone has finished the process, the employees will each receive a free Proven Winners iGarden t-shirt, and the garden center can print out their iGarden Certificate along with a press release for use with their local media.
Garden centers benefit by having employees who are up-to-date on industry trends, new plant varieties, and merchandising ideas. Lastly, retailers who complete the iGarden certification process will find their names listed first on the Proven Winners retailer locator site, a benefit when last year more than 600,000 gardeners referred to this resource when looking for the Proven Winners brand.
