Financial stress has become the dominant concern for the retail workforce, and the gap between money worries and any other wellbeing issue has widened by a shocking 59% since 2021.

The most pioneering retailers are moving beyond short-term fixes and are strategically embracing the "Cost of Life" concept. This holistic approach recognises that wellbeing is an outcome of good work, not just an afterthought, and focuses on helping colleagues build lasting financial resilience and optimism.
