Respecting Retail Staff
Manage episode 359372783 series 2982868
In this episode of The Retail Tea Break podcast, I speak to a highly experienced retailer. Áine Griallais is the HR & HSE Director for Circle K, Ireland. Previous roles in Retail Operations and as an Area Manager, led Áine into the world of HR. She secured a Masters in HRM and worked in various HR roles before taking up the position of People Director in 2020 which gave her the responsibility for 2400 colleagues.
This episode explores a recent Circle K survey of their workforce and the wider retail community. It looked at the harassment that frontline retailers experience- from customers. Have we got used to everyday verbal aggression? Is this part of the reason that so many are leaving the industry? Grab your cup of tea, sit back and listen in!
Topics:
- The recent survey carried out by Circle K and the results.
- The impact that the harassment, aggression and anti-social behaviour is having on the workforce
- Finding a solution?
- Circle K’s first Kindness Day.
- The incredible impact of having a more diverse and inclusive workforce
