We're a Living Wage Employer
At IndustraCare, we're deeply committed to our employees and believe in providing fair compensation that reflects the true cost of living. That's why we're proud to be accredited by the Living Wage Foundation, joining over 11,000 other responsible employers across the UK who have made the same commitment.
The Living Wage Foundation champions the idea that employers should go beyond the government's minimum wage and pay a real Living Wage—one that's independently calculated based on the actual expenses of everyday life. At IndustraCare, we wholeheartedly support this principle. We believe that all our employees deserve a salary that meets their essential needs, allowing them to live with dignity and security.
Our decision to pay the real Living Wage is more than just a policy; it's a reflection of our values. It demonstrates how much we value each and every member of our team and acknowledges their crucial role in our success. We understand that our employees are the heart of our business, and investing in their well-being is an investment in the overall health and success of our company.
We firmly believe that by paying a Living Wage and fostering a supportive work environment where everyone feels valued, we create a positive ripple effect throughout the entire organization. When our team members feel secure and appreciated, they're more engaged in their work, contributing to higher quality service and stronger customer relationships. This commitment to our employees ultimately allows us to maintain the high standards our customers deserve.
The Living Wage Foundation calculates the real Living Wage rates each November, using the most comprehensive and up-to-date data available on living standards across the UK. This ensures that the Living Wage remains a true reflection of the actual cost of living.
In addition to supporting the real Living Wage, we also adhere to the Living Hours standard. This commitment ensures that our employees receive:
- Adequate notice periods for shift schedules: Providing sufficient notice allows our team members to plan their lives effectively and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
- Contracts that accurately reflect their working hours: We believe in transparency and fairness in our employment agreements.
- A guaranteed minimum of 16 hours of work per week (unless otherwise requested by the employee): This provides a level of income security for our employees.
We believe that these combined efforts—paying a Living Wage and adhering to the Living Hours standard—create a more just and equitable workplace for everyone at IndustraCare.
