RCC STORE 21 to tackle workforce adaptability, mental health and e-commerce reinvention

She will be sharing her findings as the opening speaker at this year’s RCC STORE Conference, September 13-16, 2021 where she will discuss how Walmart Canada is reshaping its approaches and what the future of work will look like at one of Canada’s largest employers. Nabeela will also be joined by Arianna Huffington, Founder, The Huffington Post and Founder and CEO of Thrive Global, and Chester Elton, Bestselling Business Author, Organizational Culture, Employee Engagement and Leadership Expert where they will explore why mental health and well-being a priority in modern retail.
