Communicating with frontline colleagues in times of crisis
Clear communication with retail’s frontline workers has never been more critical, as staff navigate unchartered and forever-changing waters.
Workers keeping stores open and goods moving to ensure the health and wellbeing of the nation need strong leadership and unwavering support during these times of crisis.
Joining the discussion will be Louise Stonier, chief people and legal officer, Pets at Home; and Joe Berryman, continuous improvement project manager, Tesco.

Lessons in agility
How Covid-19 is reshaping retail supply chains
The coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the entire UK retail sector.
‘Non-essential’ retailers have been forced to rethink operations and shutter stores. By contrast, food retailers and FMCG brands have been buckling under the increased demand as they work to feed the nation.
This virtual event will outline how retailers – regardless of size or product category – can leverage data and emerging technologies to stay one step ahead.
You’ll hear from experts such as Mikkel Rasmussen, regional director, supply chain products, Europe, at Maersk.
