#6 Retail’s evolution requires a focus on talent development

Shopping is changing, and that means the way retailers do business is changing, too. On this week’s episode, NRF co-hosts Bill Thorne and Jessica Hibbard talk with former Macy’s CMO Martine Reardon and NRF’s Ellen Davis about the evolution of the industry. To successfully compete and offer experiences that delight consumers, retailers are placing an emphasis on recruitment and talent development. The NRF Foundation is helping job seekers connect with these retail career opportunities with an education and credentialing program called RISE Up.
