Be Kind in Retail This Christmas

A coalition of shopping centre, retail, fuel and convenience, pharmacy, security and cleaning industry groups has joined forces to launch a nation-wide ‘Be Kind in Retail’ campaign, as part of an ongoing collaborative effort to combat alarming levels of abuse, violence and the use of weapons against workers.

The coalition is comprised of the Shopping Centre Council of Australia (SCCA), National Retail Association (NRA), Australian Association of Convenience Stores (AACS), Australian Security Industry Association Limited (ASIAL), Pharmacy Guild of Australia, and Building Service Contractors Association of Australia (BSCAA).

With a central message of ‘Kindness Never Goes Out of Style’, the SCCA, NRA, AACS, ASIAL, Pharmacy Guild and BSCAA are calling on the community to be kind to security guards, cleaners, retail and pharmacy staff, across the upcoming Christmas trading period.
