    What store and area leaders tell us

    Dispersed teams, part-time rotas and customers who are not always kind.

    01

    Head office cannot see the shop floor

    Area managers cover many stores; problems in one store can run for months unnoticed.

    02

    Customer abuse and harassment

    Staff facing customers need to know concerns are taken seriously and acted on.

    03

    High turnover, constant recruitment

    Every leaver means hiring and training costs, and thinner cover for everyone else.

    From head office to the shop floor

    See every store on a consistent basis and act where support is needed most.
