A large retailer with more than 1,500 locations needed a scalable, flexible platform for training hundreds of store supervisors and managers. While repeatedly listed as one of America’s best places to work, the employer operated in a union-dense sector and had recently become a unionization target. Executive leadership recognized the need to raise risk awareness among its management team, strengthen the team’s resolve and resiliency, and support managers in fostering a positive work environment. Pulling hundreds of individuals to a central location for in-person training was logistically and financially unrealistic as was deploying resources to each location. The retailer turned to People Results for a solution: LaborWise Leadership. This 10-module on-demand e-learning platform enabled the company to educate its management team quickly, efficiently, and effectively.
Issue:
- Urgent need for supervisors to strengthen their labor relations awareness, strategy, and response skills.
- Training needed to be consistent, scalable, and available across 1,500+ retail locations with a geographically dispersed workforce.
- The fast-paced, interruption-heavy retail environment made traditional, classroom- style training models unfeasible for store leadership teams.
Action:
- Rolled out LaborWise
Leadership, a flexible, 10-
module on-demand training
program that leaders could
complete in manageable
segments. - Designed a delivery system allowing leaders to pause, resume, and complete training around the realities of day-to- day store operations.
Result:
- Tens of thousands of leaders
across the organization have
completed LaborWise training,
significantly improving labor
relations readiness at the store
level. - Leadership teams are now equipped to identify, manage, and mitigate labor issues proactively, helping protect the company ’s reputation and operational continuity.
