The Retail Workforce Efficiency Benchmark.
Our signature owned dataset: how retail chains compare on labour cost-to-sales, roster-to-demand fit and forecast accuracy, by format and size. Headline figures are published here on-page; the full report goes deeper. All figures shown are illustrative placeholders pending the firm own published data.
Where you stand, and where the best stores are.
The benchmark exists so targets are grounded in what comparable chains actually achieve, rather than a generic ideal. Publishing key figures openly is deliberate: useful data earns trust.
- Labour cost-to-sales distributions by format and store size
- Roster-to-demand fit, and the typical size of the mis-timing gap
- Forecast accuracy benchmarks: flat templates versus learned models
- How the highest-performing quartile organises store labour
- A self-assessment so you can locate your estate in the distribution
