Knowledge of products or services: It is important that the employees are familiar with the products and services that Thorpe Park offer as they need to know the area they are working in and the business they are working for. It will also be easy for them if they are working in a familiar environment around familiar products and services. This will help the customers as the staff serving them will be familiar with the products and services so they will be served quickly and easily.
Experience in a similar role: Thorpe Park will look for people with previous experience in a similar role because they know they will be more skilled in that job and will be confident that they know what the job involves. It will also help the employee as they know how to work in a similar environment. This will help the customers as the staff will be highly skilled and experienced in their role so will know exactly what they are doing when helping customers.
