To get actionable insight into leading-edge models for retail workforce management, game changing technology and leadership trends impacting labor productivity and profit improvement, a series of Workforce Management Leadership Summits will be held in major cities across the country.

The series, hosted by Workforce Insight, will bring together retail executives, analysts and workforce management experts in six major cities beginning July 22 in New York City.

Among the expert speakers lined up for the one-day events is John Russo, solution management, retail and distribution for Infor, where he offers strategic expertise regarding product direction to support key workforce initiatives.
