Retail Fireside Chat: Leading from the top into the future the uncertain world of retail
Retail has been through unprecedented times and leadership has had to adapt and change to meet the needs of the workforce, as a result our working lives and our customers expectations have changed - we cannot go back to leadership as usual. In this session we talk with two well-respected HR leaders about what steps senior HR management need to take, to ensure workplace culture is at the fabric of their organisation’s retail strategy. Delegates will have the opportunity to reflect on their own leadership style and how it might adapt to meet future challenges.

13.45-14.30 | Retail Strategy Perspectives: Becoming a ‘purpose led’ organisation - sustainability and authenticity
There has been a fundamental shift in consumer views on which institutions to trust and the expectations they increasingly have of business and business leaders to focus on societal change. Retail must integrate people with technology, generate commercial sales through sustainability, stimulate customer loyalty through ethical behaviour to achieve profit without profiteering.
