The retail industry may be renowned for high turnover rates, but it is possible for retail enterprises to shed this reputation. Equip your workforce with the tools needed to reach peak productivity and thrive through an EXP. Launch training programs on your intranet to empower retail employees to reach their full potential, and as well as recognition efforts to keep spirits high.

Create a single source of truth

As the pace of change accelerates, so does the structural complexity of many retail enterprises. For larger organizations, segmentation may feel almost inevitable, as uncertainty about departmental changes looms large. A comprehensive internal communications strategy is the best tool to unite your evolving workforce and prevent crucial knowledge from slipping through the cracks. Take advantage of your EXP to craft engaging content that can be targeted to specific audiences, maximizing reach and relevancy.

Turn your workforce into product specialists

80% of consumers rate knowledgeable staff as very important, yet information gaps continue to weigh down frontline teams. A mobile-optimized EXP will ensure that product knowledge and policies are always well within reach, so your employees can connect and share information with ease. In turn, this will enable you to boost customer satisfaction and level up the overall employee experience.

Unite multiple systems with a retail intranet

Retail employees have various systems they use to keep customers happy, whether it’s to check product availability, dispatch orders or manage customer queries. Most Intranet-as-a-Service offerings limit your customization and integration options due to their architecture. However, a Unily employee experience platform gives you a powerful and customizable intranet and internal communications toolkit. Create a single digital workplace for your retail organization and have the intranet you need through customizations and integrations with other systems. Integrate eCommerce systems for click & collect order picking, automate compliance reporting for daily or weekly tasks, create BI dashboards for management insights and reports on product performance, or integrated ordering systems. With a Unily EXP, all of this is possible.
