Smart50 Workplaces | 2023 Top Performers List

I’m thrilled that SMART IN PLANNING have been named in the Smart50 Workplaces 2023 Top Performers List.

Developed in partnership with Employment Hero, the Smart50 Workplaces 2023 Awards recognise 50 Australian SMEs for demonstrating exceptional hiring and retention strategies.

Our written entry highlights how common employment restrictions in the Retail sector mean many highly skilled and experienced Merchandise Planners sadly fall out of their specialty.

It reveals how the hybrid working environment we have at SMART IN PLANNING provides an attractive solution.

Founded in 2014, SMART IN PLANNING offers a number of benefits to staff which sees high-calibre applicants keen to be a part of our team and grow their careers with us.

Our hybrid work structure prioritises healthy lifestyle choices and a preventative approach to stress and burnout.

“It takes years of experience and specialised training to be a confident and credible Merchandise Planner.”

Susan Martin, Founder and CEO of SMART IN PLANNING

One challenge SMART IN PLANNING face is the rarity of skilled Merchandise Planners.

“They’re as rare as hen’s teeth!”

Susan Martin, Founder and CEO of SMART IN PLANNING

SMART IN PLANNING live by two mantras which resonate deeply with our team:

Change the face of planning

• Planning as it should be

These mantras celebrate unique skill mix, inspire best practise, and place value on our company’s unique approach.

They remind our team that we’re part of something bigger and connected to a cause.
