Here’s the harsh truth! - Retail workers are quitting at record rates!
36%* of retail workers indicated that they were dissatisfied as compared to 29%* of workers in other industries. In addition, only 42%* of retail workers reported satisfaction with their jobs while 50%* of workers in other industries reported that they were satisfied.
The top three reasons:
1
Poor Leadership –Some leaders lack of direction, vision, and decision-making skills. This can lead to a disorganized and ineffective retail team. The results in low employee morale, low engagement, and higher than normal turnover.
2
No Path to Promotion – Retail leaders desire growth more than any other industry. If a company doesn’t provide a clear path for leadership and positional growth, high potential leaders will leave for other opportunities.
3
Pay – 59%* percent of retail workers indicated that they were dissatisfied with their pay and 51%* percent of workers in all industries said they were dissatisfied with their pay.
