Last year retailers had one overwhelming problem: finding and keeping people to work in their stores. Now the winds of change are blowing and retailers face a different employment challenge next year.
, Glossier, Allbirds, Warby Parker, Reebok, Gap, Shopify and others have announced plans to cut staff.
Nobody welcomes layoffs, employers and employees alike, and they may create more problems than they solve. “If you don’t have enough labor, retailers are going to drive people away from the store and push them online, not because they don’t want to buy there but because they want a better experience,” he explained.Retailers have long struggled to make employment an attractive career option, and it is only getting worse. “It’s a tough labor market regardless and the younger generations are exploring other career paths, unlike the older generations that often got started working in retail,” Sides said.
Low wages and lack of benefits are a perennial pain point for frontline deskless workers, but they also feel little to no control of their work schedules, inconsistent hours and lack of training to move up the ladder. During and after, workers on the sales floor were required to pick up new tasks, like buy-online-pickup-in-store, while still trying to perform the old ones. Extreme levels of multi-tasking became the norm, resulting in more worker stress and ultimatelyDeloitte’s Sides suggests retailers have backed themselves into a corner where their frontline employees are concerned.
“And already some of the last-mile services, like Instacart, are doing some level of picking for customer orders; maybe they and other third parties can do more so store staff can devote their efforts to serving the customers in the store,” he continued.
