GEZE UK is thrilled to announce its accreditation as a Living Wage Employer. The real Living Wage stands as the sole UK wage rate grounded in the cost of living. It is voluntarily adopted by over 14,000 UK businesses, demonstrating their belief in providing wages that meet essential everyday needs for their employees.
To secure this accreditation, GEZE UK had to verify that all directly employed staff receive the real Living Wage, and also outline a plan to ensure that all contractors are paid a Living Wage – both of which the company has successfully achieved.
Paying the real Living Wage not only benefits staff but also enhances the company's reputation as an employer, boosting staff productivity and morale. It contributes to maintaining competitiveness, retaining current staff, and attracting new talent.
Rachel Boxall, Finance Director of GEZE UK, commented: “We opted for Living Wage accreditation to showcase our dedication to being a responsible employer. By paying the real Living Wage, as distinct from the national living wage set by the Government, we are taking a voluntary stance to ensure our employees can earn a wage sufficient for their livelihoods."
The growing evidence of the business advantages of becoming a Living Wage employer is apparent from the numerous well-known and diverse companies already accredited, such as Liverpool FC, Aviva, Oxfam, and Ikea.
Andrew Gordon, Programme Officer at the Living Wage Foundation, added: “We are delighted to welcome GEZE UK as an accredited member of the foundation. Fundamental fairness lies at the core of the Living Wage campaign, driving exceptional businesses and organisations to exceed the government minimum wage."
