We launched The 80 Percent in April with a visit to the grocery store to find out how essential workers were coping during the beginning of the pandemic. Now, four months later, we're returning to the grocery story to find out how businesses and employees have adapted to their next normal.
JD is joined by long-time grocery professionals Harold Lloyd and Evan Parkes. We explore the importance of communication and cross-training to enable operational agility. We highlight the talent retention challenge the industry is now facing. And we discuss how the face mask controversy is impacting the frontline.

Read JD's July column in Learning Solutions Magazine for a real-life example of how cross-training can impact someone's career long-term.
