Retail Challenges We Solve

From high turnover to multi-location management, peer forums address retail's toughest people challenges.

Manager Turnover Crisis

Retail manager turnover averages 45% annually. Replacing a store manager costs $20-40K and disrupts entire teams.

How Forum@Work helps: Peer forums for store managers create community, professional growth, and peer support that dramatically reduces the urge to leave.

Multi-Location Disconnection

Managers at different locations rarely interact. Best practices stay trapped in individual stores. HQ feels distant.

How Forum@Work helps: Cross-location peer forums connect managers across your retail footprint, spreading best practices and creating a unified culture.

Frontline to Leader Pipeline

Promoting top sales associates to managers without development leads to struggling teams and disengaged employees.

How Forum@Work helps: Peer forums for high-potential frontline workers build leadership skills before promotion, creating a ready bench of future managers.

Seasonal Scaling Challenges

Holiday surges require rapid onboarding and team cohesion. New hires need to feel connected fast.

How Forum@Work helps: Quick-start peer forum sprints accelerate team bonding and knowledge transfer during peak hiring periods.
