Covid Throws Yet Another Curve at Retail

It takes being a professional virus hunter to know what to do at this juncture in our global pandemic. Who makes the right call? The CDC? FDA? WHO? Your boss? Retail is approaching near chaos in decoding how to manage the policies and protocols that change daily with no clear direction from federal, state or local authorities. And what’s worse, the health and security of innocent people has been politicized. Listen in to Robin Lewis and Shelley E. Kohan, TRR’s chief strategist, as they sort through how major industry players are thinking about how to balance public safety, labor considerations and long-term profits in the face of an ongoing health crisis.
