TOPIC

With massive digitalisation emphasized and accelerated by Covid, jobs at retail companies have changed very rapidly. Some functions are particularly under stress and there are talent shortages for jobs such as store associates or data scientists at a time when business is rising again.

In such circumstances, the urgent question is how to attract and retain talents. What are the functions where there is a talent shortage when it comes to attract and retain talents, for today and tomorrow? What has proved efficient or not in your organisation and at which level (recruitment, upskilling, reskilling)? What will be your next moves? How do you identify and retain the talents necessary to the future of your company leadership?
