Eland Cables, a company supplying electrical cables to major infrastructure projects, is making an early move to increase its workers’ wages. The pay rise, based on the Real Living Wage, will benefit employees over 18 years old. The new hourly rates will be £13.45 and £14.80 in London, higher than the minimum wage.
The company’s decision to implement the wage increase ahead of schedule is aimed at fairness and long-term success. This move has been well-received by staff like Ben, a father-of-two from Doncaster, who appreciates the extra income, especially as the holiday season approaches.
Eland Cables’ executive director, JS Pelland, emphasized the importance of fair pay and its positive impact on employee retention and engagement. The company attributes its success to treating employees well, leading to improved results and overall satisfaction.
With a focus on employee well-being and equality, Eland Cables has seen significant improvements in staff retention, reduced absences, and increased productivity. The company’s commitment to internal growth and development has created a culture of loyalty and dedication among its workforce.
By prioritizing fair wages and employee satisfaction, Eland Cables continues to strengthen its position as a responsible employer in the industry.
