Webinar With TimeForge Shows Grocers How to Compete for Talent

Last month, we had the privilege of hosting an important webinar with NGA Member TimeForge that delivered actionable strategies for managing grocery labor.

As labor challenges continue to be a significant concern for retailers, this session provided essential insights to help grocers improve retention and reduce labor costs.

Here are some of the key takeaways:

• Invest in Formal Training Programs - 32% of retail workers report never receiving any formal training. Implementing structured training programs enhances employee competence and boosts job satisfaction and loyalty.
• Offer Instant Wage Access - 76% of job seekers are drawn employers that provide instant wage access. Offering this option allows grocers to attract and retain workers more effectively.
• Improve Manager Training and Support - 82% of workers say they would leave due to poor management. A comprehensive manager training program can reduce turnover and foster a positive work environment.
• Gather Data on Employee Departures - Exit interviews and surveys are invaluable tools to understanding why employees depart; by analyzing this data, retailers can identify trends and make informed changes to improve employee retention.
• Promote the Meaningful Importance of a Career in Grocery - It's important to highlight the rewarding and impactful nature of grocery work to attract new talent and keep current employees engaged.
