Video JSV 9 from Branch Operations Training Department for new employees, using extensive archive material: photographs and film, detailing Sainsbury's origins and historic interest with scenes from a contemporary branch.

Description on video cassette sleeve:
"Sainsbury's Putting You In The Picture is a film which describes the development of Sainsbury's from its creation in 1869 right through to the present day. It especially focusses on the standards on which the company was built and which have become inherent in today's success - standards such as good service, hygiene, quality and display to name but a few. Most importantly, it tells you, the viewer, where you fit into the Sainsbury's team and the important role you have to play in it. We hope you find this film an enjoyable introduction to your working life with us. Welcome To The Team!".

The video was intended for new starters as part of induction, and anyone who requires a basic understanding of the organisation. It covered: the location and functions of branches, area offices, depots, and head office, and the progress and development of the company.

A video with the same title 'Sainsbury's: Putting You in the Picture' but a different reference of 'JSV 8' from the Retail Training Department is also included in this file - that video has not been digitized so it is unknown whether this is the same or different from the video with reference 'JSV 9'.

Duration: 18 minutes. Video reference JSV9.
