Why is JYSK one of the world's best employers? 🤔 A couple of weeks ago, we announced that we are on Forbes’ list “World’s best employers 2023”; something we are truly proud of. 🏆 Some of our store colleagues from different countries are sharing their thoughts about the announcement below. 👇🏼 #proudtobeJYSK #retail #employer #careers #development

Proud2BeJYSK‼️ (Spam alert) As you may already notice, JYSK🇸🇪🇫🇮 received the results from this year's employee satisfaction survey this week, and we achieved a record-high participation rate of 100%! #BestESS It's a testament to the incredible dedication and commitment of our team. Here's to our continued success and collaboration! #StrongTeam #GreatEngagement What makes me happiest is that our more than 300 Swedish and Finnish managers, referred to as "Immediate Managers," across two countries, six regions, 28 districts, and over 250 stores, along with two head offices, scored remarkably high—an average of 8.6 out of 10. #JYSKLeadership #ENERGY 💙 Considering that our managers range from +20 to +60 years of age and have between 6 months to 30 years of JYSK experience, these results are even more impressive. Let's delve deeper into some of the key indicators, all of which rank at the very top of the scale: #ProudThatYouChoose2BeJYSK👕 - My immediate manager is available….. - My immediate manager takes action in a timely manner…. - I identify with the JYSK values….. - My immediate manager embodies the JYSK values…. - I am empowered to make the necessary decisions…. For over 25 years, I've been advocating that 'Positive people in development create positive results.' #JYSK #Responsibility #TRUST P.S.

I'm happy to announce that I've finished Reliance Retail Early Engagement Programme! I have an amazing head start for my impending work, thanks to this two-month pre-joining programme! Four fortnights made up the programme, with each concentrating on a different important topic: In the first fortnight, "Know Your Organisation," we explored the fundamentals of Reliance, including its history, core values, code of conduct, and important subjects like, workplace etiquette, cybersecurity and POSH. Fortnight 2: Corporate Fundamentals: I learned the fundamentals of Excel, PowerPoint presentation techniques, and email etiquette. Planning and organising, diversity and inclusion, and interpersonal skills were all highlighted in the programme. Fortnight 3: Industrial Insight:-Did a deep dive into the nuances of the retail sector, covering everything from sales and marketing strategies to the core operations of retail companies. The programme included a special store visit so we could observe the retail environment from the viewpoint of the employees rather than just the customers. This gave us a unique perspective. Fortnight 4 Functional Fiesta:-Had workshops on Retail Marketing and Management, delving further into the topics of retail management and Intriguing "Six Sigma" training and an engrossing case study on Mumbai Dabbawallas that offered priceless insights into operational efficiency were also provided this fortnight.

In an engaging fireside chat, Jaikrishna B . President & Group CHRO of Amara Raja Group, and Jeeva Balakrishnan, Chief Talent Officer at Reliance Retail Ltd., delved into the transformative principles of the Amara Raja Way and its profound impact on business practices. Jaikrishna B shed light on how the Amara Raja Way, crafted between 2006 and 2011, seamlessly blends core values—Innovation (Burgundy), Excellence (Magenta), Entrepreneurship (Orange), Experience (Blue), and Responsibility (Green)—with the elements of nature. This unique integration not only reflects the founder’s deep-rooted commitment to community upliftment but also steers the group's diverse operations. Jeeva Balakrishnan elaborated on how these values are brought to life through dynamic onboarding programs and distinctive color-coded uniforms, embedding these principles deeply within the corporate culture and extending their influence into the surrounding community. Moreover, Jaikrishna B unveiled Amara Raja’s forward-thinking HR practices, including age-specific insurance coverage, a reverse pyramid model for food subsidies, a robust employee survey system, and the “Knights at the Round Table” platform. This innovative platform promotes open dialogue by empowering frontline staff to contribute to discussions typically dominated by leaders, fostering a culture of transparency and inclusivity. #ManningModernRetail2024 #HR #HRConclave #RetailHR #Event #Conclave #Retailer #Brand #OnlineShopping #OnlineRetail #RetailStores #RetailShop #RetailMarketing #Learning #Insights #RetailLeadership

This post has been on my mind for a while now, and today's trigger was the appointment of Manish Tiwary as the incoming Head of Nestle India SAR. In my view, traditional companies are also increasingly valuing E-commerce experience in their leadership hires. Having run HomeShop18 and running an E-commerce trading outfit with Dupindera Sandhu, I believe E-commerce experience is crucial. Even if you have not worked in an E-commerce company, getting hands-on with E-commerce operations is key. Understanding the operational matrix of ROAS, Dispatch efficiency, economics etc are critical. Use platforms like Meta advertising, Shopify, Unicommerce , Amazon, Flipkart panels yourself. Ask questions, research to improve efficiency, and don't solely rely on teams or agencies. There is a lot to learn and ask. Just like Deepinder Goyal does deliveries personally to understand the pain points. Isn't all this true for all aspects of business. Like in the olden days, Unilever India would make us (management trainees) go thru front line selling stints and stints in Etah (more on that some time later). There's no replacement for hands-on experience. At SkinInTheGame Brand Solutions Pvt Ltd, we believe in hands on work and take ownership of your businesses and not just offer advice. Get in touch with us for E-commerce, FMCG, Retail or marketing. #Leadership #Ecommerce #Experience #Operations #SkinintheGame

As many top brands, both domestic and global, are expanding their footprint deeper into the country, industry experts believe it is likely to create a surge in job opportunities in the retail sector in smaller cities.

INTRODUCING TO YOU…🥁 #MONDAYMYTHS! A weekly series where, TOGETHER, we will bust 8 myths of the retail industry! Here we go! MYTH #1 : Retail Workers are Mostly Unskilled 👀 FACT: It is true that you often do not need a degree to work ‘on the floor’ at most retail organisations, but it is also true that the employees that come in with a certain level of experience, have a very high adaptability to each organisation and their unique ways. Employees with no prior experience are usually trained in sales, customer service, marketing and other domains through company set up trainings which helps them get on track for a successful future at this retail establishment. MHVPL runs the Motwani 1 training program, which Mrs Gauri Syal Heads. This program helps our parivar to obtain skills and experience to not only help our organisation but also their profile for future opportunities. Myth? Busted! 🔨 We would love to hear your views on this! Comment your thoughts below! #retail #retailindustry #myths #fashionindustry #bangalore #india
