The professional community is showing increasing interest in the rating of TOP RETAIL MANAGERS. This indicates the demand for this tool to identify the most professional managers in retail companies operating in Russia.

TOP RETAIL MANAGERS – the first rating that evaluates not companies, but personalities. For the first time, the results of the rating will be summed up on June 8, 2018 within the framework of the main industry forum Russian Retail Week. The target audience of the rating is the top management of retail chains. The rating will take place in several stages. The first stage of collecting candidate questionnaires has already begun and will end on April 15, 2018. To participate in the rating, you must fill out a questionnaire in which you must specify the data of the nominated candidates.

According to Denis Vasiliev, Vice President of the Russian Association of Retail Market Experts (RAERR), the TOP RETAIL MANAGERS rating introduces an element of gamification and involvement of retail chain employees in the process of identifying the best managers in the industry.

The rating performs a double task, motivating both employees and employers at the same time. Employees are motivated by additional recognition and awards. And for the network, the presence of nominees in its composition is an indicator of its "stardom", the professionalism of the team"

Recall that the main theme of the Week of Russian Retail in 2018 will be «Digital transformation of retail». "In this regard," says Roman Mazur, member of the Board of the Russian Association of Retail Market Experts (RAERR), "it is certainly important to understand who will be able to lead the processes of such transformation now and in the future."

TOP RETAIL MANAGERS includes 14 nominations, among which "Face of the industry", "General Management", «Finance Director», «Operations Director», «Commercial Director», «Director of STM», «Marketing Director», «Director of Public Relations and Communications», «Director of Public Relations», «HR Director», «Information Technology Director», «e-commerce Director», «Director of Logistics and Supply Chains», as well as «Director of Legal Affairs».
