EOC (wk. 6) Job Analysis

In Store Visual Merchandiser/ Keyholder
Ted Baker London 15 reviews - Las Vegas, NV
Full Time In Store Visual Merchandiser/ Keyholder – Las Vegas Fashion Show
Job Type: Full-time


This job posting is asking for a "keyholder" may possibly have some supervisory obligations.  Keyholders are usually allowed to open and close the store, and even though the job is for a visual merchandiser, some supervisory duties may have to be performed.  "Building good working relationships involves being clear and honest...employees support supervisors they trust." (Human Resources, Quality Service & Training Hospitality & Restaurant Marketing pg. 470).  The relationship between the sales staff and keyholder is very important.  There must be mutual respect.  The keyholder and visual merchandiser may be responsible for training employees on standards as far as how the sales floor should be set up, how merchandise should be handled and how the sales floor should be maintained.  A bad relationship can ruin the integrity of the brand, and cause a disconnect as well as the sales floor not being maintained to standard which makes the entire business look bad.  "Planning a positive, productive work environment involves a range of activities.  It begins with creating a clear vision of the kind of workplace that is desired and then making plans to get there." (Human Resources, Quality Service & Training, Hospitality & Restaurant Marketing pg. 474).  The job description also calls for Communication skills.  "Clear and frequent communication about what employees should do and how it should be done makes it easier for employees to align their work with the supervisor's goals." (Human Resources, Quality Service & Training, Hospitality & Restaurant Marketing pg. 475.)  Proper communication is very important as it can help or hinder a business.  It is one of the main skills one must have in order to succeed in the workplace.
