Inclusion: The Key to Engagement and Performance

Employee engagement in the UK is at a critical low—just 10% of employees are actively engaged at work (Gallup, 2023). This places the UK near the bottom globally and contributes to £257 billion in lost productivity each year.

Since engagement is driven by an inclusive workplace culture, we’ve developed the Inclusion Masterclass: Maximising Performance through Belonging. This one-day programme will help senior retail leaders create inclusive environments where every team member feels valued, empowered, and engaged—leading to stronger performance, higher retention, and measurable commercial results.
