In this episode, the focus is on the critical gap between traditional retail metrics and what truly matters for sustainable business growth and customer satisfaction.
The discussion delves into how metrics, while essential, often drive unintended behaviours and misalign with long-term goals. Key points include the need for more meaningful performance measurement that integrates metrics like employee turnover and engagement, and the importance of qualitative factors such as team culture and compassionate leadership.
The conversation explores practical ideas for retail leaders to evolve their approach, emphasizing that a balance of quantitative and qualitative measures is crucial for a truly healthy and successful retail environment.
