These methods take into account the retail trends of today. These trends include changing customer behaviors, and the new sell and non-sell activities that have emerged recently in retail. They also consider your employees and how you can give them greater choice and flexibility. These labor planning methods will help ensure your store is staffed with the right people at the right time, and with the right quantity required for your store\u2019s customer patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-display-medium-font-size has-left-alignment top-margin-small bottom-margin-medium wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-labor-planning-methods-to-consider-in-specialty-retail\"><strong>4 Labor Planning Methods to Consider in Specialty Retail<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-brand-blue-color rs-heading has-brand-1-color has-display-small-font-size has-left-alignment top-margin-x-small bottom-margin-x-small wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-sell-non-sell-split-of-hours\">Review Sell\/Non-Sell Split of Hours\u202f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storeforcesolutions.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/08\/Revisit-and%E2%80%AFRevamp%E2%80%AFYour%E2%80%AFApproach-to%E2%80%AFRetail-Labor%E2%80%AFPlanning-Quote-1.jpg\" alt=\"Non-sell activities now account for upwards of 50% of overall labor hours.

These are the times when customer patterns don\u2019t align with minimum staffing requirements, based on other policies. Before adding more labor hours to your stores, consider your available capacity to perform additional tasks in-store. Try to forecast each store\u2019s daily available capacity and provide visibility to them. These elements will help increase your labor efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-brand-blue-color rs-heading has-brand-1-color has-display-small-font-size has-left-alignment top-margin-x-small bottom-margin-x-small wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-labor-banding\">Labor Banding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storeforcesolutions.com\/euro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/08\/Revisit-and%E2%80%AFRevamp%E2%80%AFYour%E2%80%AFApproach-to%E2%80%AFRetail-Labor%E2%80%AFPlanning-Quote-2.jpg\" alt=\"Labor banding is the foundation for labor planning in Specialty Retail.

These standards first ensure that retailers maintain a base coverage. They then use productivity to invest hours based on sales volume. This exercise drives results by funding those stores with the greatest opportunity. It also provides a more consistent service level across all stores within the group.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Labor banding is the foundation for labor planning\u202fin\u202fspecialty retail. It objectively balances the hours to be spent within your brands, stores, and seasons.

You\u2019ve invested time, energy, and money to train part-time employees on processes, product knowledge, and brand values. So, provide them with opportunities to work additional hours. Pooling employees allows them to work in multiple stores within the same city. This provides efficiency for your stores and flexibility for your employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a win-win. You increase employee retention and tenure, and reduce the need for constant hiring and training. The result is a pool of employees who are engaged and knowledgeable working across your stores. Posting shifts and allowing employees to select a portion of their schedule gives them flexibility and control. These are employer attributes that employees are seeking in today\u2019s workplace. Become an Employer of Choice by incorporating flexibility into your scheduling practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retailers are embracing the evolving role of the store. They are also embracing changes in the customer\u2019s\u202fbuying journey.\u202fLatest trends\u202fcall\u202ffor new approaches to planning\u202fand measuring labor.\u202f With all the\u202frecent\u202fchanges, it\u2019s\u202fimportant to be open to new methods and really challenge the status quo.
