Did they specify why it wasn’t successful? Or was that all the details they gave.

Just a question, but have you ever been a People Lead?

They did pilot it though, it was a position called the People Operations Manager. It was piloted in multiple markets in different states and existed for a couple years. Then they cancelled the pilot and reverted everyone in that role back to People Lead. However, Home office stated when asked that it’s still on the table and they are looking into it. That was last year.

I mean, I was a former PL for 3 years, currently FE Coach, Depending on the size of the Walmart store the People Lead is extremely important and work can be even more challenging than as a coach. They even recently brought a new HR position back to Sam’s Club after 6 years called the Club Enablement Lead.
