Technologies such as self-checkout and AI-powered chatbots are changing or replacing tasks traditionally performed by employees. In the next 5 years, automation could replace 25% of retail jobs.

The future of retail will combine cutting-edge digital experiences with customer-centric service. This means retail workers will require new technology skills plus deep competency in customer service and communication.
