Market share is very much reliant upon customer’s satisfaction and it transmits to the inspiration level of the employees. However, the employers in the retail industry are having a very rough time in enhancing the level of their staff’s enthusiasm. This cannot be ignored as well because employees take part in a very vital role at the shop.
