CB4 Report: How to Unlock the Potential of Your Part-Time Retail Workforce

NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- New White Paper Shares Insights on the Rise of Part-Time Retail Associates and How to Empower Them to Succeed

Today CB4 released their new white paper, Unlocking the Potential of Your Part-Time Retail Workforce, which reveals retail's increasing reliance on part-time associates and shares proven strategies for how to motivate, train, and retain them.

"Today's retailers are foregoing full-time associates for part-timers at unprecedented rates" said Heidi Sax, Content Marketing Manager at CB4 and author of the report. "Yet many store operators haven't re-evaluated how they manage them. This report helps retailers better understand and reach part-timers to drive sales and elevate shoppers' in-store experiences."

Highlights include:

• The factors driving the move toward part-time labor include increasing competition, decreasing power of labor unions, and the advancement of software to predict customer flow and align staffing to cut costs.
• There are two types of part-time workers: involuntary and voluntary. Given their lower rates of pay, reduced access to benefits, unpredictable and varied hours, and high rates of turnover part-time workers have unique needs.
• Learn how winning retailers like Target and Lululemon advance their part-time workers for in-store success.
• Retailers can do 8 things now to boost morale and ensure they're getting the most out of their part-time frontline employees.

The white paper is based on extensive industry research, as well as a CB4-exclusive interview with Bob Phibbs, The Retail Doctor.
