Warehouse Leads are the 1^st line of supervision. They are expected to be on the floor for their entire shift, unless office support is needed when our normal Office Support is not working. When not executing leadership tasks, they are expected to do forklift related work (picking, loading, unloading and receiving). This is crucial in driving accountability and expectations by showing associates that you are present and available. Also, this helps the Team Lead understand workflow and current workload better.
