I’m writing this letter from the City by the Bay, where our last On the Road event of the year is taking place. If you’ve never been to one of our On the Road events — or our “mini” Women in Retail Leadership Summits, as we like to call them — let me tell you...

Your competitors are trying to woo the same people you are, and if you don’t offer the right role, compensation, benefits, training, development opportunities...
