Benefits for Retailers

This programme has been developed by Retailers, for Retailers; which is why the programme has been so successful.

The results of the programme can be seen in the stores who have been involved in the training. Some of the benefits which retailers report are:

• Increased Sales
• Increased Productivity
• Better Customer Service
• Use of Modern Merchandising in-store
• Increased staff morale

Retailers also report that since the introduction of the training in store, there are lower levels of Staff Turnover and Absenteeism. The training all takes place in the workplace, during normal working hours, therefore the employees can apply their training on the job on an ongoing basis.

The training is cost effective and can be delivered at a time and at a pace that suits both the employer and employees. The training is assessed by a qualified Retail Assessor. The training is monitored and and evaluated by IBEC Retail Skillnet staff to ensure that the standards are maintained across the retail sector.
