WorkJam’s digital workplace provides retailers with the tools they need to meet the demands of the emerging workforce through greater employee engagement.

Today’s retailers are facing more challenges than ever.

Increasing societal, cultural and economic forces are driving higher costs and thinner margins. At the same time, customer and employee expectations are evolving, regulations are volatile and competition is on the rise.

How can retailers win?

Engaged associates. By cultivating a positive workplace experience, employers can boost employee productivity and knowledge, while cutting operational costs and improving revenues through a superior customer experience.

In short, associates have come to expect a better employee experience. They want more control and flexibility over their schedules regarding when and how many hours they work each week. They expect to be informed and connected with their employer and feel well-equipped to do their job. They want their voices to be heard and to be recognized and rewarded for their achievements.

Hourly Retail Employees

It’s estimated that 51% of employees are actively looking for a new job or watching for new job openings. In a shallow labor pool, employers need to understand how to empower their employees to manage their own work-life balance and in turn build employee engagement.

Manager

Two-thirds of retail associates currently communicate scheduling changes to managers face-to-face. Precious time is lost by managers everyday due to inefficient staffing processes. Managers need better self-service tools for their associates so they can focus on supporting their employees, customers and store sales.
