I know every company can't offer flexibility in terms of hybrid.

But if there's other areas, they can't.

That's to retain the staff and invest in skills and, as we say, succession planning as well.

Review your salaries.

Make sure that your salaries are at the level that they should be at compared to your competitors around.

Our salary survey will be coming out later this month for 2026.

So review them and make sure they're in line.

Explore regional talent pools.

Look out there.

Who can you attract into your business?

And I would say if you're planning to hire in 2026,

you know, talk to Matrix Recruitment, get a recruitment strategy in place so that you're ready to kind of hire those people.

So retention, flexibility and cautious learning will define the winners in 2026.
