A little valentine on employee engagement via Lucy and Willy Wonka

2. Who wouldn’t
love a job in a
chocolate
factory?

3. Mean boss lady: This is your
last chance.

4. Let a single chocolate go by
unwrapped and you’re fired!

5. Chocolates will arrive
through this window

6. Wrap them and
send them out
through that
window. GO!

7. It starts out OK

9. But go south pretty quickly

10. Which they struggle to cover up
because they are AFRAID

11. Boss: Looks fine here – lets speed
it up!

12. Oh
Ethel, w
hat are
we
gonna
do
now?

13. Theobromine
#FAIL

14. What if….

15. Customers like
their chocolate
boxes to be
beautiful. You’ll
wrap the
chocolates so
the boxers can
pack beautiful
boxes

16. I’ll show you how to wrap a chocolate in
three moves. Check it out. Any
questions?

17. Make sure to introduce yourselves to
the kitchen team and work out the best
way to manage the pace

18. The people in the boxing room depend on you. Make
sure you talk to each other constantly to ensure we are
making gorgeous little boxes for our customers.

19. Boss: How are you doing in here – the
kitchen is ready to speed up – can you
handle it?

20. “We had a big order come in – do you think
you and the other teams can find a way to
speed up so we make it in time?

21. Hey Lucy, I love this job.
