Retail and Hospitality Inventory

Rising prices, extended capacity of retailers, increased competition, and the often unpredictable pace of change in consumer buying habits make it increasingly difficult for organizations in the retail and hospitality services to succeed, grow, and remain competitive.  To drive continued success, it’s important for organizations to employ the right people who have the necessary personality characteristics for work in retail or hospitality.  AAI has developed the Retail and Hospitality Inventory, a personality assessment that identifies the individuals who will succeed in retail or hospitality type roles.
