Retail Culture & Community Committee


Overview

The Retail Culture & Community Committee (R3C) is comprised of executives at leading retailers who work on aligning corporate strategies with a welcoming and collaborative company culture to achieve the company’s goals and vision.

R3C is a practitioner-led community that provides support to member retailers with key strategy-culture alignment areas such as:
  • Integrating a values-aligned talent management and engagement strategy
  • Supporting respectful employee-customer interactions
  • Informing philanthropic opportunities, and community partnerships
  • Staying apprised of the political, media, and legal context
Participating practitioners benchmark with their peers about challenges unique to well-known retail and brand organizations, such as the ongoing brand and reputation considerations associated with millions of daily employee-consumer interactions.

Participating members have access to Committee resources, found below.

For more information on RILA's Retail Culture & Community Committee, contact Moni Adeyi, Manager, CSR & Supply Chain at moni.adeyi@rila.org or Erin Hiatt, Senior Vice President, Retail Operations at erin.hiatt@rila.org.
