PHILIPPINE RETAILERS CELEBRATED RETAIL EMPLOYEES DAY WITH THE # COMEBACKSTRONGER CAMPAIGN GIVING THANKS AND COMMENDATION TO RETAIL WORKERS
The Philippine Retailers Association ( PRA ) joined retailers nationwide and across the globe in celebrating and honoring all retail workers last 12 December 2022 .
On its fifth year this 2022 , PRA launched the # ComeBackStronger campaign for the Retail Employees ’ Day ( RED ) celebration . This year , the RED Campaign highlights the untiring support and dedication of all retail employees amidst the challenges of the past years . It is because of their hard work and commitment that retail has stood tall and came back better , stronger , and fully-recovered .
Some of the biggest retailers in the country came together to show their gratitude to their retail employees and front liners last December 12 by giving out treats and tokens of appreciation , awarding and recognizing exemplary employees , and conducting various activities for their employees and communities .
PRA members including Wilcon Depot Inc ., Penshoppe Group ( Golden ABC ), Quorum Group ( Toby ’ s Sports ), BENCH Family ( Suyen Corporation ), Alfamart , Ace Hardware , Expressions Stationary Shop Inc , Must Bes Sun Retail Corporation , Datche , Riverbanks Center & Off Price Home , Sophia Jewellery , Wacoal , and AllHome joined the annual celebration .
The RED project is a global celebration to show appreciation to the retail employees — especially front liners . Launched in India by the Trust for Retailers & Retail Associates of India ( TRRAIN ) in 2011 , the RED was later adopted in various parts of the world , including the Philippines in 2018 . Over 700 brands and six million employees have been participating in the celebration since then , with the largest participation in India , Turkey , Qatar , United Arab Emirates , and Bangladesh .
In the Philippines , the PRA has been at the forefront of the RED celebration in the country since 2018 , recognizing the importance of showing gratitude to the retail employees ’ incredible service especially during the pandemic , when the retail industry faced a slump as a result of intermittent lockdowns and store closures .
“ Our retail employees are one of the reasons why retail stood tall and became better and stronger during these tough times . Because of their hard work , sacrifice , loyalty , and optimism , the retail industry is now back on its feet and more than prepared to serve better ”, PRA President Rosemarie Ong said .
“ THANKS TO YOU , WE ’ RE BACK ON TRACK !”
# ComeBackStronger
Over the years , the celebration seeks to encourage employers as well as customers to recognize the efforts of retail employees across the country and create awareness among retail employees of the significant role they play in the lives of the customers and in the business they serve .
The PRA hopes that this will become a yearly tradition and will be adopted by more retailers in the country . For more information on how to be part of RED , pls . contact the PRA Executive Secretariat at 8687-4180 or email adcomm @ philretailers . com and look for Ms . Mayan Sangil .
