The 2025 Logile Labor Planning & Optimization Report, conducted via the third-party platform Pollfish, surveyed 500 U.S. retail store associates to understand how scheduling gaps and workforce management challenges are impacting frontline performance. The findings show that retailers' labor planning, forecasting and execution actions often fall short on the ground, leading to staffing mismatches, associate stress and operational inefficiencies.
Key Findings Include:
'There's a clear disconnect between plan and practice. Retailers have made meaningful strides in prioritizing workforce initiatives, but our research shows that many are still missing the opportunity to fully connect their planning efforts with store-level reality,' said Purna Mishra, Founder and CEO, Logile. 'By integrating real-time demand data and modeling store-specific labor needs more accurately, retailers can close the loop between planning and execution—improving service, supporting staff and strengthening the bottom line.'
