Retailer/Supermarket
Challenge: Difficulty Hiring and Retaining Retail Workers
1. Low Wages and Limited Benefits
-
Why: Many retail positions offer minimum or near-minimum wage, with few benefits like health insurance, paid leave, or retirement plans. This makes it difficult to attract individuals, especially when other sectors offer better compensation for similar skill levels.
2. Unpredictable and Inflexible Schedules
-
Why: Retail often requires evening, weekend, and holiday shifts with little advance notice. Last-minute scheduling or "on-call" shifts disrupt work-life balance, discouraging long-term commitment.
3. High Stress and Customer Service Burnout
-
Why: Dealing with difficult customers, long lines, and pressure to upsell can be emotionally exhausting. The lack of support for frontline workers during challenging situations has led many to leave the industry entirely.
