Section 3: Confidence Cut (Days 3–5) The Confidence Cut phase is designed to help new starters move beyond initial introductions and begin to feel comfortable and capable in their role. By the end of this stage, team members should have a stronger sense of how the business operates, who they can turn to for support, and what is expected of them in their first weeks. During Days 3–5, managers play a vital role in: •

Ensuring completion of the Compliance and Onboarding eLearning Checklist.

•

Supporting confidence-building activities that reinforce skills and encourage engagement.

•

Arranging facilities tours (including the warehouse) so team members understand key processes and spaces.

•

Scheduling check-in meetings with key team members to build networks and establish collaboration early.

•

Holding the First Week Check-in with the manager or buddy to reflect on progress, answer questions, and confirm next steps.

This stage is about giving new team members the confidence to navigate their role, connect with colleagues, and start contributing with growing independence.

eLearning Compliance Modules


01

Compliance Windows The Compliance Window system at Signet is designed to deliver

02

structured, in-depth training on key compliance topics at strategic points throughout the year. Rather than concentrating all learning at onboarding, the approach ensures that employees receive ongoing, focused training

When individuals first join the business, they are provided with an introductory overview of core compliance principles. This initial training establishes a baseline understanding of expectations, policies, and regulatory requirements.

However, more detailed and topic-specific training is delivered through scheduled “compliance windows” during the year. Each window focuses on particular areas of compliance, allowing employees to build deeper knowledge over time. This phased approach helps reinforce learning, keeps compliance front of mind, and ensures that training remains timely and effective.

Overall, the system supports continuous development, promotes better retention of information, and helps ensure that all employees remain up to date with compliance requirements.

The Building Brilliance stage focuses on embedding knowledge, building stronger connections, and encouraging new starters to apply what they have learned in real workplace settings. This phase is about moving beyond orientation into deeper learning, meaningful engagement, and the development of early confidence in role delivery. Managers should support team members by: •

Guiding them through the Onboarding Learning Path in Inspire Academy.

•

Setting and reviewing goals for Weeks 2–4 to build momentum and direction.

•

Ensuring they connect with key people across the business, understanding their roles and the value of these relationships.

•

Coordinating store visits and capturing learning through observation notes.

•

Holding structured check-ins at Week 2 and Week 4 to reflect on progress, celebrate successes, and address any barriers.

This stage is where team members start to shine by gaining clarity, building networks, and applying their learning in practical, business-relevant ways.
