About this listen

In this episode of the Retail Pulse Podcast, host Suzanne Sears discusses misconceptions and challenges about retail staffing in Canada. Suzanne disputes the dismissive attitude towards part-time work and explains why it's a desired employment model for many. Breaking down the January 2024 Stats Canada report, she argues the importance of retail jobs to the Canadian economy. She further highlights issues such as the inflexibility of the retail sector, the impact international students’ contributions could have, and the need for valuing 'new Canadian' employees. Stressing the ongoing relevance of part-time work, Suzanne calls retail to become a leader in adapting to current employment trends including advocating for higher wages, more flexibility, and on-site training.
