Retail’s next leaders are already on the shop floor

Retail moves fast, and the people who will lead it next are probably already on your shop floor, in your buying team or running your stores. The question is whether they grow with you or move on to grow somewhere else.

This webinar brings together two perspectives on how mentoring can help. Vicki Young, Head of Learning at BRC Learning, will share her vision for a mentoring programme that spans the whole retail industry, connecting mentors and mentees across businesses, roles and levels through BRC Learning's partnership with Thrive Mentoring. Tim Brown, Head of People Development at Reiss will then bring it down to the day to day, sharing his experience of mentoring across the Reiss business and what he's learned about making it stick.

Together, they'll show how mentoring can unlock your teams' potential, strengthen career development and help you retain your best people. Expect practical insights into building mentoring programmes that work in the fast-paced world of retail.

What you'll come away with

• A clear picture of how mentoring supports career development and retention in retail
• An understanding of the BRC's vision for industry-wide mentoring, and how your business and your people can be part of it
• Lessons from Reiss on running mentoring across a retail business, including what's worked and what they'd do differently
