I got to look at the business as a total store and to see the business more broadly — things like <strong>what created profit and loss, seasonality and demand for different items. That was my “Retail 101” education.</strong> Then I got the opportunity to cross into operations and use my detailed experience in a support role, and also to better understand the company’s inner workings and drive the teamwork side.</p> <p><strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">RTP: And how do you tap into that teamwork in your current role?</mark></em></strong></p> <p><strong>Clark: </strong>One of the framings for our organization is something [Walmart founder] Sam Walton said — that <strong>the best ideas come from the associates</strong>. A lot of the ideas do come from the teams that are providing feedback on what makes things better for the customers, and ultimately makes Walmart both the best place to shop and the best place to work.</p> <p>Listening is a huge framework for me. No matter what level of associate or his/her role, when I meet with them I’ll always ask them, “What am I <em>not</em> seeing?” And their suggestions, some of them the most simple things, can make such a big deal for their life and, ultimately, make things better for the customer. I learned how beneficial it was to let them, the <strong>1.2 million</strong> people who work at Walmart, help you to help create success. That’s stuck with me always. I personally have an open-door policy; anyone can share things with me, at any time, if it affects them or the customer.</p> <p><strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">RTP: What structures does Walmart have in place to encourage that type of communication?</mark></em></strong></p> <p><strong>Clark: </strong>We just finished our associate engagement survey (AES) a few weeks ago. We send a survey that takes <strong>four to seven</strong> minutes to fill out to people at all levels of the company, asking about things we can do to make Walmart better. Then in November, the store managers frame out their action plans, using information they receive from the [people in their individual store], because it’s all anonymous.</p> <p>Then, within our <strong>six</strong> business units and <strong>five</strong> geographies, we get all the store managers together on a quarterly basis. There are also <strong>three</strong> big meetings annually, including our shareholders meeting at the end of May/early June, and a holiday meeting. Plus, [the executives] always have listening sessions — including [President and CEO of Walmart U.S.] John Furner. Nothing is out of bounds or off limits that affects the stores.</p> <p><strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">RTP: What are some of the most common issues associates bring up?</mark></em></strong></p> <p><strong>Clark: The accuracy and availability of inventory, which is a key component of success. The more they have access, the more often the transaction happens.</strong> That’s something you’re always working on in an environment where people are taking things off the shelf all the time. It’s about simplifying and using the tools to make [inventory accuracy] efficient, and to ultimately provide access to the products customers want.</p> <p><strong><em><mark style="background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)" class="has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color">RTP: If you could give your younger self advice about succeeding in your career, what would you say?</mark></em></strong></p> <p><strong>Clark: </strong>I’d encourage myself to enjoy each moment of opportunity, like a new position that gives you a moment to understand a different part of the business. Those early opportunities will still be applicable [later on], and you can still leverage them to benefit the company and the people you lead.</p> <p>I’d also warn myself that careers are dynamic and that you’re going to be put into uncomfortable situations, and to breathe easy when you do get to this point. <strong>I’d say to use everything and everyone around you to support your becoming proficient in [your job], because it’s going to get challenging.</strong> Fortunately, the job you chose has teams, which mitigates anxiety and ultimately supports the people you lead and the customers you serve.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-a1fba42 elementor-align-left elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width
