Visit To Walgreens

When Walgreens started an initiative to gather input from volunteers who in turn identified important skill sets inherent within their job as well as create the kinds of initiatives that would help employees gain the most relevant competencies within the specific functions while working at Walgreens. The explicit knowledge shared from employees to others was made to become quantified and easily communicated amongst one another. Through the use of various components within the blueprint model used by employees, they inherently passed informal tacit knowledge. “A willingness to share tacit knowledge is an individual desire or intent to engage in tacit knowledge exchange behavior. Theoretically, individuals’ willingness or intentions have been

On the other hand, my son can only get his monthly medication at CVS Pharmacy and whenever I pick his medication up or he does, we are treated like brand new customers, there is no personalization. At CVS, after waiting an extended length of time, the pharmacy technician rarely asks me if I have any questions for the pharmacist and if I do she rushes me out, like I am disturbing the flow of operations. My family describes the pharmacy at CVS as a sterile machine; you are treated like a number not an individual. We have tried different CVS Pharmacies around Lakeland, but we get the same old treatment. Both Walgreens and CVS probably handle customer identification data very similar, but Walgreens emphasizes building positive customer relations

Over the weekend I went into a different Walgreen’s, and I observed one of the management team members. If I had to grade their professionalism with the interaction I had, I would give him a five. I gave him that score for many reasons but the main reason was because he has a positive attitude but in a professional way, and his communication skills were awesome. As soon as I walked into the store I was greeted and asked how I was today, and if I needed any help. I did have some shopping to do, so I told him I would find him if needed. I was shopping around at the school supplies and it was a little messy and I wasn’t quite sure of the price, so I went and found the team member. He was very kind as in to helping me with the pricing, and rang me up for my items. The whole transaction was wonderful, we held a conversation and it wasn’t awkward. I feel like he went above and beyond for his customer service, but I feel like it was natural and not forced which is part of the reason I gave him a five. Looking back at the article from figure 1, the team member had 9 of the 10 soft skills with the short interaction I had with him. I say 9/10 because I didn’t know about the flexibility portion just because it was a short interaction.

Walgreens When forming Walgreens in 1901, Mr. Charles Rudolph Walgreen had a vision of changing drugstores from humdrum fronts to actual businesses that imparted value to customers.

The company is the biggest drug distributor in the United States and its territories. Its headquarters are still in Chicago, and it has survived in a pharmaceutical industry that has sometimes proved to be tempestuous.
