The US national Retail Federation (NRF) recently launched ‘Operation Open Doors’ and a new online solution centre to offer operational guidelines developed with inputs from retail industry. The operation prioritises four functional areas for the US retail sector: health and safety; people and personnel; logistics and supply chain; and litigation and liability.
Reopening the retail sector and putting our economy back on track will require a gradual, phased-in approach. The smart, iterative strategies our members are building will help guide policymakers and business leaders through dozens of critical topics as we work to restore the American economy, NRF said in a press release.The US national Retail Federation recently launched 'Operation Open Doors' and a new online solution centre to offer operational guidelines developed with inputs from retail industry.

Consistent guidelines across all levels of government—without over-burdensome regulatory schemes—are critical.
“As a community, retailers are preparing for new processes, consumer behaviors and legal requirements or restrictions, where there was once no playbook. Our country must not allow a lack of resources, regulations that are not fit-for-purpose, and the fear of litigation to delay efforts to return to work and live safely and sustainably," NRF said.
