JCPenney store closures and 2014 store closings ...

If JCPenney announced it would 33 stores in 2014 he was close to Family Dollar, McDonald Macy, Barnes & Noble store in the Clausura 2014 List raid, but not anywhere near the top of the list. JCPenney stores closures were probably given more coverage than justified only by the time of the announcement. US reports fencing retail every year in January. As a key to the short- and long-term health of the US economy as a whole ad

It's no different than in 2014 and to compare the complete list of stores closures in 2014 and 2014 openings American Roundup certainly provides investors and analysts with confidence in the stability of the US economy in general and growth in retail trade of the United States in particular.

The number of branch closures were announced by the largest retailers in the United States in 2014 is so small that it is not newsworthy. The fact that it generates recently announced 33 store closings by JCPenney is proof that it is worth many important new business object as many sums of the media.

It is not trivial to 2000 or so displaced JCPenney employees, but is relatively insignificant as JCPenney reduced the size of its chain of stores brick and mortar only 3%. Filled Definitely more than 3% of the sales efforts JCPenney with trauma and drama in the last two years, 33 Store closures is much smaller than we all expected negative result.

I think it's the management team credit JCPenney they could keep their wits about them while alarming media and wolves lost their Wall Street. Instinctive 2013 Store closures are only short-term investors that soothes the short term. JCPenney as necessary - then and now - is long-term solutions.

So far we do not know much about JCPenney plans for solutions to long-term recovery. But keep the numbers in 2014 are 3% to close to that to save it. One of the latest strategies, which we know is the restoration of the sales commission had removed compensation for some employees JCPenney Ron Johnson.

There is much debate about whether it is a good idea, commissions for JCPenney employees in the departments of fine jewelry and tableware restore. The final opinion on this issue among the partners themselves, and I hope that the leaders JCPenney was smart enough to ask. In fact, we can only hope that the leaders are JCPenney be smart enough to ask JCPenney connected by many things.

Apparently, fine jewelry and home furnishings sales margin increased JCPenney hotline. But if JCPenney, or any chain stores is the case or not, the money will be used by the Commission as a motivational tool for employees is that the debate should focus successfully.

Employees say they motivated by money, but in my experience, it is only when they do it. And the people who are really motivated money always looking for more money and provide better not be within the brick and mortar of JCPenney retail store in the foreseeable future.

Do not forget that the retailers carry the world - not only America but the entire industry sales in the global retail - per square meter of retail sales from Apple. And Apple retail employees are not motivated to produce these results to the Commission because they are not paid.

This does not mean that Apple employees should not be a commission. That's not the point. The point is that improved productivity in the history of modern retail distribution is created by a team of non-commissioned hour retail world. Get the chain of Apple retail stores, what JCPenney store chain can not survive without literally - employee engagement.

It is unfortunate that the executives that smells of a perfume just because Apple change management capabilities seemingly catastrophic Ron Johnson rejected at all levels of the organization probably JCPenney ado everything. But the baby out with the bathwater of employee engagement Ron Johnson not only a big mistake that could never be the last mistake is JCPenney chain.

With the vision of Ron Johnson is in the last year or this year vision Mike Ullman, someone has taken the trouble to people what they thought JCPenney ask? I have been both the receipt and management of projects completed solid change management and no definitive predictor of success or failure. The buy-in is used.

No matter how good or bad ideas, good or bad, positive or negative, or Ron Johnson's ideas were Mike Ullman need employee buy-in from behind. And the interesting thing about human nature and the staff is that even when the changes are perceived as positive, it will be blocked when employees feel responsible for its implementation not feel like they were given all say it or choice in the matter ,

What JCPenney leaders try to pay a commission to buy is the quality of the accommodation that is something you can not buy. The tricky thing about employee ownership is that you to treat people like they have before you actually go to show.

Rather than encourage our employees must Ullman and his team to be attractive. It's time employees with customer service retail for ideas on how JCPenney may be more relevant and useful for customer, as if the staff were co-owners of the company's shareholders, who are really asking.

The employees in the sales area JCPenney may or may not have new ideas, but the value of the issue is that asks. A behavior that employees need to be involved. A systematic application and current ideas of employees is one of the strategies to the involvement of primary Starbucks employees have used for years. And while JCPenney enters into business in 2014 has, Starbucks, which dominates the list of new stores in 2014, will be staffed expansion in China.

There are many studies that high contact Above average financial performance have spent employees to believe that Ullman and management team JCPenney've read them all. The fact of the matter is that the efforts of the various teams of the management company JCPenney got where it is today - the closed shops, firing employees and paddle hard to stay alive. So perhaps the biggest change has to be done in JCPenney is the exchange for a commitment from the top down to a monitoring strategy.

Judging by employees in the public approval rating, it seems that Mike Ullman has the highest level of trust, loyalty and buying their employees. What not to say that the head of a retail business is a popularity contest. But it is to say that the head of a recovery in the management of massive change is low. So is the statement that was heard around the world store closures, unsolicited advice to the management team JCPenney it.

Ask not what dedicated staff can do for you. Make need space to be hired employees. Then they give, and see what they can do for your your profits in exchange company.
