    This digital seminar will showcase 10 effective and affordable ways retailers can listen to their customers. By implementing at least three “listening programs,” operators will stay in better touch with those who will decide how and where they will shop.

    image

    An expression from years ago meant as advice for people to prepare for what may be coming their way in order for them to be better prepared. 

    The expression could apply to retailers today in a somewhat different sense.  “Keep your ear to the customer.”  Hear what they are saying and change accordingly, in order to be better prepared for the future.

    This digital seminar showcases 10 effective and affordable ways retailers can listen to their customers.  By implementing at least three “listening programs,” operators will stay in better touch with those who will decide how and where they will shop.

    This will be a strategic session for company executives and store management.

    With more and more refugees displaced for longer periods of time, businesses have a critical role to play in helping refugees integrate economically in their new host communities. These developments represent an enormous opportunity for American food industry companies to help integrate refugees into the U.S. economy.

    The U.S. is welcoming historic levels of refugees, including 100,000 at-risk Afghans who worked alongside the U.S government and over 125,000 Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s recent military invasion. The Biden administration has also pledged to welcome up to 125,000 refugees per year from all over the world through the refugee resettlement program and up to 360,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans per year via humanitarian parole.   

    These developments represent an enormous opportunity for American food industry companies to help integrate refugees into the U.S. economy. View this presentation with the Tent Partnership for Refugees to learn why the food industry should look to refugees as a new source of talent – that can help fill critical labor shortages and increase overall retention rates – and how they can develop successful refugee hiring initiatives with Tent’s pro-bono support.

     Participants will:

    • Learn more about the refugee context in the United States;
    • Understand how Tent can help companies effectively recruit and integrate refugees into their workforces; and
    • Hear about other companies that have successfully hired refugees in the United States.

     About the Tent Partnership for Refugees

Founded by Chobani’s founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya in 2016, we are a network of over 300 major companies committed to including refugees. Tent believes that companies can most sustainably support refugees by leveraging their core business operations – by engaging refugees as potential employees, entrepreneurs, and consumers.
