“Retail winners seek to provide differentiating levels of service to consumers while at the same time holding the line or even reducing their labor spend as a percent of revenue. These companies know that this is accomplished by optimizing the non-selling functions within their stores so that they can redirect a greater percentage of their labor on services. RSR’s research shows that workforce management solutions are an essential technology enabler to achieving this objective.”
