In this week's episode, the conversation unveils a significant shift in the UK's wage landscape over the past 25 years, examining how the minimum wage increase has not proportionally lifted the average wage. We question whether this wage compression is disincentivising workers and stalling motivation across the board, potentially contributing to the nation's lag in productivity growth.

Furthermore, the episode highlights strategic insights for both business owners and employees on navigating this challenging economic environment. From enhancing non-monetary incentives to aligning salaries realistically, the discussion offers practical advice to keep ambitions alive and drive organisational success.
