Continuing its webinar series, PFMA has two webinars this winter that may be of interest to members:
1. What We Can Expect for Grocery in 2016 – January 26, 12 noon: Year after year, grocers face unpredictable factors that influence business performance. 2015 was no different, with a flurry of mergers and acquisitions activity, traditional grocers serving up gourmet foodservice, and more grocers testing the waters of delivery services. In 2016, we expect the rate of change to accelerate. Jeff Campbell is a Vice President at Applied Predictive Technologies (APT) and currently leads APT's grocery practice. He will present on what trends their data suggests for 2016 and beyond.
2. The Basics of Hiring – February 10, 10 a.m.: The challenges of hiring and retaining a motivated workforce can be problematic for the typical food retailer, but doing so outside the boundaries of the law can compound your problems, both individually and corporately. And with the ever-evolving field of employment law constantly changing the rules, managers must be on their toes to maintain compliance. Anne Zerbe of CGA Law Firm in York will present on what managers and human resource professionals need to know about the legal boundaries in play during the hiring process.
