About the event

One industry. Multiple challenges

Every industry has its own set of challenges when it comes to HR and L&D departments. Especially now, in fast-changing world and ‘the new normal’, big organizations have to review some processes and align. It is no different for the retail industry.

Retail is always dynamic – it is a very competitive and fast-changing industry facing distinct HR issues within the majority of brands. To begin with recruitment and attracting top talent, retail is also dealing with high turnover, retention, onboarding and training of different types of employees or employee experience. More than anywhere else, the time between recruiting, training and preparing employees to work is limited for retail companies. And all that in the environment of thousands of employees in multiple locations around the world!

How should retailers manage the HR processes to achieve the business goals and take care of the employee?

Join us to talk about how the HR challenges in the retail industry can be faced with excellent processes of onboarding, training and employee development. Dedicated to HR and L&D leaders in the retail industry, our event will be full of practical knowledge and insights from top retail companies like Leroy Merlin , IKEA or Jeronimo Martins.
