    Diane Wehrle CEO at Rendle Intelligence and Insights joins Simon for their monthly chat
    They break down why February 2026 turns into a tough month for UK retail, with record rain dragging down footfall and high street sales. They also zoom out to consumer confidence, inflation pressures, and the April policy changes that could reshape hiring and costs.

    • Footfall declines across high streets, centres and retail parks
    • High street debit card sales tracking below last year
    • Category performance across fashion, food and drink, general retail, grocery, health and beauty
    • GfK Nielsen consumer confidence falling and what it signals for March
    • Major purchases weakening and the savings index rising
    • Inflation staying at 3% overall while essentials run hotter
    • Discounting effects in clothing and muted inflation in big-ticket categories
    • Average transaction value rising in food and drink and health and beauty
    • National Living Wage and National Minimum Wage rises from 1 April

  • Productivity Pulse Nov 2025 - Feb 2026 NotebookLM Summary
    Mar 23 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We gave NotebookLM our Productivity Pulse podcasts from November 2025 to February 2026 with Sue, Simon, & James and this is what it came up with...

    We follow the stop-watch data behind everyday queues and show how “efficient” labour models can still create predictable chaos at peak demand. We trace how wage pressure, algorithmic scheduling, and physical layout decisions reshape what workers do and what customers feel.

    • Minimum wage pressure and the knock-on effects of wage compression
    • The efficiency index and why zero slack systems lose resilience
    • Variable efficiency and why two stores can feel like different companies
    • Algorithmic break scheduling that prioritises compliance over footfall
    • Hidden travel time that turns a short break into a bigger productivity hit
    • Manager role drift and why leadership disappears into shelf-stacking
    • How quick service restaurants redesign space for delivery drivers
    • Kiosks, upselling psychology, and the customer dithering factor
    • Micro efficiencies in kitchens that function like pit-stop engineering
    • Parcel collection bottlenecks and the shaky maths of the halo effect
    • Stock replenishment waste, taking stock for a walk, and lean batch processing
