However, if All saint do not recruit the amount of staff that they require it is quite different. As All Saints is a bricks and mortar and an online retailer not being to recruit may make the retailer be strictly online or in store as the amount of staff require for both is more. Reducing the amount needed may better performance and ease stress created. For example, Homesense use their online site for tell the consumers of new products but nothing is available to buy online only in store.
All Saints as a retailer do not sell concession brands so they would not need to worry about having to make cut backs on any brands which they may have sold. All Saints will not have a problem with inflation rising because they make their products themselves so they can determine how much they will spend on fabrics and where they source them from. Usually when inflation rises, retailers look to produce their clothing in a cheaper warehouse or change their supplier, sourcing less luxury material at a lower cost.
If changing supplier wasn't beneficial enough for the company, then they would resort to finding money elsewhere. This would be by cutting staff members, by making members redundant the company will have a bit more money; however it is very likely that if inflation rises the company will make a loss.
