Working around strike action

Following last week's strike action impacting upon the London Underground and the ability of London commuters to get to work, Jess Lee, Head of Operations at Coople, one of our co-investments, spoke with HR News to give some insights into how the retail and hospitality industries can navigate strikes and the impact on workers.

As Jess told HR News:

"Unexpected disruptions, like transport strikes or sudden staff shortages, can create major challenges for businesses. Lost revenue, staffing gaps, and logistical headaches often force managers into constant firefighting, leaving little time to focus on long-term growth or maintaining a high-quality customer experience. Flexible workforce solutions can help businesses stay operational even when unforeseen events occur.” 

With such disruption unlikely to go away, it's great to see Coople being an active part of the solution, with its flexible work platform supporting businesses to plan, manage, and scale their workforce, and showing how flexible staffing models can help to maintain operations during unexpected events.
