Top 5 Retail Training Courses in Malaysia

Last year, Malaysia’s retail performance reached a record low since the Asian financial crisis 22 years ago.

Retail industries suffered harshly as the pandemic took its toll and retailers were left in the dust. Sectors that suffered the most include department stores (- 38.3%) and fashion (- 37.9%).

With most sectors now back in full swing, it’s up to retailers to brace themselves and be prepared to come back stronger than before. Now more than ever are retail training courses in high demand.

Retail training courses are few and far in between in Malaysia – let alone those worth their salt. At SH Retail Academy, we’ve compiled the top 5 retail training courses in Malaysia worth dipping into your HR funds for.

 

WHY RETAIL TRAINING IS A MUST

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. Sales, management, leadership, IT, you name it. With so many courses and programs left and right, why should you bother with retail training when time and effort could be expended in doing actual, revenue-generating work?

  • Retail training improves employee motivation and retention
  • Retail training can optimise productivity
  • Retail training makes a difference in customer service
  • Retail training positively impacts your profits
