About the event

Tesco CEO, Ken Murphy, recently labelled the rise in customer incidents as “unacceptable” and the impact on employees as “heartbreaking”. 

And - in response to spiralling rates of retail crime - 88 leading UK retailers recently called on the government to make assaulting or abusing a retail worker a standalone offence.

The impact of customer incidents is deeply felt among staff, both mentally and physically. Organisations feel the effects too, with higher absenteeism rates and lower retention rates impacting the bottom line.

This session is ideal for professionals within the hospitality and retail sectors, including people leaders, health and safety experts, and those passionate about wellbeing.
