From Brexit to burnout, to ageing workers and the rise of digital commerce, grocery faces a perfect storm of pressures when it comes to recruitment, retention and building in relevant skills across its workforce.
In this brand new Grocer Vision report we explore how both brands and retailers can navigate these challenges, find creative solutions and build a robust and resilient workforce for the years ahead.
The events of the last two years have cast a spotlight on just how critical the smooth running of the grocery supply chain is. Be it delivering exceptional customer service in a crisis, shipping product from A to B, or pivoting to meet the new demands of digital savvy shoppers. At the same time, it’s cast a less flattering light on the some of the fragilities within that same talent pipeline. The shortage of HGV drivers to name but one headline-grabbing example.
“Now the dust has settled on the recent HGV driver crisis, it’s imperative that neither industry – nor the public at large – forget just how critical it is that grocery is staffed by a robust, resilient and highly valued workforce.”
So, how can companies overcome both the more entrenched, and more immediate problems they face in creating a workforce fit for the future?
This new in-depth report by The Grocer Vision and Axonify digs down into exactly what steps will be required by grocery going forward. Featuring exclusive insight from Aldi, Mars, Princes, ‘consumer champion’ Martin Newman, and IGD, as well as brand new research from Axonify, it explores:
