The Special | Retail Wellbeing
In our final episode of ‘The Special’ series, we take an in-depth look at the human impact of the pandemic and the importance of wellbeing for retail employees in these unprecedented times.
The phrase ‘Wellbeing’ has become commonly adopted in recent years. But it has taken on increased significance and importance for retailers and employees in the face of the global pandemic, and rightly so. Now is most definitely a time to put people before profit.
Coming up on this episode of The Special, we take an in-depth look at the human impact of the outbreak across the industry and the importance of wellbeing in these unprecedented times. We hear from Yulia O’Mahony, former head of Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing at John Lewis & Partners, to get a retailer perspective on the very real ‘people challenges’ facing retail leaders. And we speak to a panel of wellbeing specialists to explore and explain the major issues facing senior retail management. From the hugely complex reality of remote working, to ensuring all staff remain motivated, engaged, connected and, above all, safe.
