Woolworths is overhauling how its staffs its supermarkets, creating two new dedicated fresh food teams in the first store-level restructure at the retailer since 2011.

The company said the new teams will help it meet shoppers’ growing demand for quality fresh food offerings at all times of the day.

Under the restructure, the currently separate deli, butchery and seafood counter teams will be combined into a single “Fresh Service” team.

Staff in the new team will be trained to serve customers across all three areas, whereas today they are confined to just one area.
