Pricing Cutting Won’t Solve the Economic Crisis

In 12 months, the UK will be gearing up for a general election, and the themes that will define it are already emerging.

Sitting first and third as the most important issues facing Britain today according to voters are inflation and the economy, respectively. Reacting to this, politicians are putting pressure on retailers to cut their prices and introduce reductions.

The opportunity to reimagine what work looks like

The upshot is that this new hybrid work norm is really a grand experiment and as a result we’re seeing that while necessary in this moment and even providing benefits for many, is a less-than-ideal solution for everyone.

But at the same time, the old ways of working aren’t either.
