Retail Store Leadership

Self-Directed Mobile Engaged Online Training Overview

Based on MOHR Retail’s Retail Store Leadership (RSL) workshop, the leadership program that has been used to successfully train over 20,000 retail managers and supervisors in the classroom, Retail Store Leadership Online Training (RSL OLT) includes 21 Core Microlearning Modules and brings the concepts to a mobile format accessible via phone, tablet, or desktop. But it doesn’t end there. 1 year of personalized microlearning in the form of quick, daily refresher questions with a competitive gamification element enhance learning retention.   Available as a completely Self-Directed program or the highly recommend Hybrid Learning solution that includes 4 virtual facilitated workshops.

At-a-Glance Progress Tracking for DMs and Senior Leaders

Included with RSL OLT is access to a reporting app that will show key leaders and DMs how participants are progressing, their success rate, and how much knowledge growth they are gaining with each new topic. Reporting can be arranged by specific teams, including geographic, regional, district, or potential. The reporting app gives senior leaders at-a-glance information at their fingertips and reveals opportunities to celebrate success or do more targeted coaching.

Interpersonal Insights to Drive Results

All participants complete the 15-minute online Everything DiSC® Behavioral Survey, which provides powerful insights about how they tend to communicate, what their strengths are in terms of how they connect with others, and the limitations that could keep them from being able to create strong relationships. These insights form the foundation for learning, application, and change.

The participant meets after each online learning experience to review and practice, as needed, what was learned with the coach (i.e., the multiunit manager or store manager, depending on the participant’s position). On an ongoing basis, the coach observes and gives real-time feedback on how the participant is applying the learning on the job.
  • Daily refresher questions: As part of the program, daily refresher questions are used to increase retention of the learning, reinforce key concepts, and prompt in-store application of the skills and behaviors.
