Retail HR Summit
Company values, collaboration with employees and driving a major HR transformation to create a truly omnichannel experience, need to be at the heart of the organisation’s culture and brand.
The team at TRB are delighted to welcome our HR community once again, in-person, to our annual Retail HR Summit in London.
This informative best-practice event is primarily designed for HR Directors and their teams, within UK retail and tangential sectors. It will focus on how to recruit, retain staff and attract the best talent, via a truly strategic HR function that embeds its people, policies and procedures with long term business priorities.
This free-to-attend event will help retailers and brands bolster recruitment and retention, reinvigorate wellbeing strategies and inspire the next generation of leaders.
