We recognise the challenges posed by the cost-of-living crisis to you as an employer, and to your employees.
The cost-of-living crisis is still dominating many conversations in the workplace with many employees looking for another source of income, opportunities to work from home to save on travel costs of an increased wage.
As an employer, what can you do to ensure you are paying fairly and supporting your employees?
How can you support your staff?
You have a responsibility to review your employees’ wages to ensure you are paying fairly within the field. Not only will this mean you can retain your staff, but you’ll also ensure your employees feel heard and respected.
Of course, you may not be able to higher wages as many businesses are under pressure financially. There are other benefits you can provide to your staff including the opportunity to work from home. If things don’t go to plan, we’re here to help navigate potential employment disputes resulting from this challenging situation.
It is important that you address the cost of living crisis and ensure your employees that you are staying up to date with changes posed by rising costs. This is part of your duty of care and responsibility as an employer.
