The definition of compliance in any company is specific to its particular needs and level of regulation. But at Sears Holdings Corp., the best word to describe the work is massive.
With more than 260,000 employees and 30,000 suppliers worldwide, the operating company behind the retailing giants Sears, Kmart and Lands’ End enforces compliance on a global scale. The company sources its best-known brands including Craftsman, DieHard and Kenmore domestically and abroad, making compliance necessary on everything from labor rules to factory safety. Employees need to be trained uniformly to sell a washing machine or to fix one.
