Retail HR Forum: Attracting and Retaining Talent
Retail HR North 2025
Your staff are the heart of your organisation – attract and retain the best talent
HR is understandably trepidatious about the year ahead. Inflation and the cost-of-living crisis has meant the jobs market has continued to fluctuate. In spite of the harsh economic reality, retail employers are still showing a willingness to advance their people and invest in employee development.
The event brings together key stakeholders from – HR, talent acquisition and management, recruitment, employer branding, organisational development, people & culture teams – to provide precise insights into the latest trends, developments and technologies in delivering a successful talent management strategy.
This event will explore:
- How to convince key stakeholders of the importance to invest in your people
- How the landscape of HR technology is changing and the benefits to retail of investing in better technology.
- Helping HR become recession ready through resilience
- Attracting and retaining the right and best people into the business
- Ensuring that the business is surrounded by the best culture so they can thrive
- Providing the right capabilities and development opportunities
- Supporting employees with well-being benefits and programmes that truly make their lives easier
**Attract, engage, and retain your workforce**
