Attract & Retain Millennial Talent.

A recent PwC report stated that only 10% of millennials plan to work for the long-term. Translating to poor retention of 90% of your millennial workforce, this means your cost-per-hire figures could become astronomical.

The challenges

What retailers are up against

  1. 01

    Young workers who move on

    Many younger employees don’t plan to stay long, and every departure restarts the hiring cycle.

  2. 02

    The cost of each hire

    Every hire who doesn’t last adds recruiting and training costs.

  3. 03

    Hiring fast and often

    Store hiring happens quickly, which leaves little time to judge fit.

  4. 04

    Stretched store managers

    Store managers lead varied teams with little time for coaching.
