Daraz Bangladesh, the country's leading online marketplace, recently held a career counselling session in association with Hashimukh Shomaj Kallayan Shongstha.
This session was part of its Rider Graduation Program, which promises hard skills and soft skills for its deliveryman, so they can explore new opportunities in this competitive market, reads a press release.
The session was facilitated by the Co-Founder and President of Hashimukh Somaj Kallayan Songstha Nusrat Akter and Head of Communications, UNDP Bangladesh Md Abdul Quayyum.
On this occasion, AHM Hasinul Quddus (Rusho), chief corporate affairs officer of Daraz Bangladesh said: “E-commerce is the future-friendly business model in the world, and delivery is an integral part here. We regularly organise different training and skill development programs for our riders. Just as on-time product delivery is our primary objective, we are also working to train these riders in the necessary subjects to enhance their skills.”
“The rider graduation program is another attempt to improve our deliverymen's hard and soft skills. In addition to the different computer skills, we are trying to train the riders on how much distance they should maintain while delivering a product, how to address any unpleasant issues, etc,” he added.
“Besides training the riders, it is also our responsibility to be aware of any misconduct. In this digital literacy era, maintaining information security is a very complex and imperative issue. The most important thing for this is awareness. We must remember that we do not share personal information with strangers,” he further said.
In addition to improving the efficiency of the riders, Daraz is also training them to refrain from asking for any personal information or devices of the customer to deliver the product. Daraz monitors such activities strictly, and if they get such information, they will take legal action against the rider.
“I would like to tell our esteemed customers to come together to create a beautiful e-commerce ecosystem,” Hasinul Quddus further said.
