Importantly, they will want to redirect available frontline workforce to more customer-facing activities that help improve experience, build a stronger brand, and support business growth.

This playbook offers a structured framework, including 15 key capabilities to consider across 5 dimensions, to help retailers on what they must prioritize when devising their next-generation workforce management solution strategy.

As consumers continue to reshape their expectations,

Consumers value experiences that are curated to fit their lives better.

They want to engage, be served, and transact at their time, their pace, their place. They have little patience, infinite choice and the freedom to swipe left at the slightest hint of friction.
