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