Why is a people-centric approach to performance important in the retail sector?

 

Reduce talent churn

94% of retailers are worried about talent shortages. A people-centric approach supports retailers to build better relationships between managers and their employees.

Facilitate better 1:1s

The most effective employee-manager 1:1s in the retail sector are those that are employee-led and put the individual's needs and motivations at the heart of the performance process. 

 

Improve employee engagement & experience

People want to work for companies that put their needs high on the priority list, value their contributions and show them they care. People-centric performance management is built around these values.
