We understand the unique workforce challenges facing Retail companies today.
Extreme Hourly Turnover
Retail turnover rates of 60-100% annually mean constantly recruiting, hiring, and training. Each departure costs thousands in lost productivity and recruiting expenses.
Seasonal Hiring Surges
Holiday seasons and sales events require rapid scaling of store teams. Hiring hundreds of temporary workers quickly while maintaining quality is a major operational challenge.
Multi-Location HR Complexity
Managing HR consistently across dozens or hundreds of store locations requires standardized processes, strong store managers, and technology that scales.
Scheduling & Labor Cost Control
Balancing customer traffic patterns, employee availability, and labor budgets is complex. Overstaffing hurts margins; understaffing hurts sales and customer experience.
Loss Prevention & Internal Theft
Employee theft costs retailers billions annually. Effective screening, monitoring, and creating a culture of integrity requires thoughtful HR policies and training.
