How to take care of retail managers so they can take care of your frontline workers

Retail managers’ plates aren’t full—they’re overflowing! They’ve had to be everything to everyone for the past two years. They’ve implemented new business practices. They’ve taken on extra hours to close staffing gaps. They’ve dealt with challenging customers during supply chain disruptions. They’ve physically and emotionally counseled drained team members. It’s no wonder managers report higher burnout rates than individual contributors. Yet your business relies on their ability to simultaneously manage their operations and lead their teams. Do your managers have the knowledge, skills and tools needed to strike this balance? Join a panel of retail HR leaders from Ashley Stewart, Dollar General and MOHR Retail as they rethink manager enablement and explore modern strategies for improving leadership behaviors, building bench strength and driving frontline performance.

In this session, Aston Moss, General Manager, Human Resources at New Zealand retail giant Briscoe Group will be sitting down with author, publisher and retail consultant Miya Knights to explore how the rules have changed around what turns store visitors into paying customers.

Join a panel of retail technology experts from Zebra Technologies and BI WORLDWIDE as they share proven practices for applying technology to make frontline work more efficient, engaging and rewarding. They’ll explore digital tactics that enable retailers to improve their frontline execution and drive business results.
