The Retail Council of Canada’s national HR Conference returns on April 20 – join us there!

Retail is all about people - in the time of a national labour shortage, join us for the inside track on how retailers are putting talent first!

With Canada’s retail industry growing at four times its pre-pandemic rate, the demand for talent is paramount.

The rear view mirror no longer works – so what lies ahead for 2023?

As we reflect back on another unprecedented year and the waves of disruption retailers faced in 2022, we can see it proved not to be the recovery we anticipated or business as usual. There seems to be no looking in the rear view mirror as we plan for 2023, with uncertainty in all aspects of retail including the retail labour market.

Retail Challenges

Retail West returns on October 27! Join us at the Retail Council of Canada’s premier event for Western Canadian retailers.

From the impact of inflation on consumer behaviour, to the current opportunities – and challenges - in digital transformation, sustainability, diversity and more, Retail West offers you a wealth of knowledge on retail strategies for today and tomorrow.

With core retail sales growing at an average rate of 7.7% YoY each month for the first half of the year, retail in Canada is definitely back. Yet, along with that resurgence and the opportunities it represents, new challenges have also arrived. There are still-developing societal and behavioural changes stemming from the pandemic.

Miriam Ronen expands our Toronto team!

With Canadian retailers reporting “cautious optimism” but still facing major labour shortages, how will they find the people they need to deliver on that optimism?

Who better to help them out than a retail professional who has moved wholesalers into retail, expanded established retailers into new geographies, and designed and built entire retail organizations from the ground up? One whose track record has growth and change as consistently recurring themes?
