Lots of press this week about the Real Living Wage - which I support.

- Real Living Wage Up 7% - £13.45/hr or £14.80/hr London
- National Living Wage: Currently £12.21 aged 21 and over. It could jump to £12.71 in April
- UK inflation 3.8%
- Current UK wage inflation 4.7% (Aug 25)

But - how do you cope with rising costs?

Drive profitability through your people

- 10-18% of salary costs are lost through poor communication : Solution - fix communication
- Reduce 50% - 200% of salary bill for each leaver you can prevent : Fix your turnover
- 25% of salary costs lost due to poor engagement : Fix your culture
