I don't see how adding an employee discount saved Best Buy from Amazon. Unless they're saying there's that much downstream impact from employee happiness that brought that many more customers to Best Buy to shop.
That said - do agree there's room for both players in the game, Best Buy and Amazon.
- rocketpastsix 8y agoThe employee discount wasn't the only reason from the article. There are a few cited. However, one of the few perks of working a retail job is that the workers tend to get some sort of discount on the products. Its a small token of appreciation, and yet has a two fold advantage: makes your employees happier encourages them to buy things at the store and use them, so they can in turn sell them and be more knowledgeable. Taking away the employee discount may seem to be mostly innocuous, but it can really crush morale and accerlates employees skipping to the next job.
