[ On-Demand ] Workforce at a Crossroads: Automation, Flexibility, and the Future of UK Retail

In 2025, UK employers are under mounting pressure. Increases to National Insurance Contributions, a higher Minimum Wage, and declining employee satisfaction are converging to create the perfect storm.

Yet for forward-thinking organisations, this moment presents a vital opportunity to reimagine the frontline experience through smarter, tech-enabled operations.

Join Karen Howard, Managing Director at The Retail Bulletin, and Michael Spataro, SVP at Legion Technologies, for a 30-minute webinar moderated by Darren Williams, General Manager at Specsavers. They’ll share insights from the latest State of the UK Hourly Workforce report and explore how AI-driven scheduling, earned wage access, and self-service tools are helping businesses lower staff turnover, reduce administrative burden, and improve labour productivity—while also enhancing the employee and customer experience.

Whether you’re grappling with rising churn or looking to future-proof your operations and optimise workforce performance, this session offers practical takeaways to help you turn disruption into a competitive advantage.
