FRC Group are proud to be a Living Wage Accredited Employer. The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by over 7,000 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a wage which meets everyday needs. Paying a decent wage to staff has well-documented benefits, including improved productivity and retention, together with lower staff training costs.
FRC became an accredited Living Wage employer in 2018, ensuring that all permanently employed staff are paid at least the UK Living Wage rate. This one of FRC Group’s long-term investments in their people, based on their core values and beliefs.
Director of People and Culture, Collette Williams said:
“Paying our staff a wage that affords them a decent standard of living is fundamentally important to who we are as a business and the values we hold.”
“In 2001 families came together and started a campaign to be paid a real Living Wage. Since then hundreds of thousands of families have benefited and been able to earn a wage they can live on. But the job isn’t done – 20.3% of all workers in the UK still don’t earn a real Living Wage.” Understanding the benefits of being paid the real Living Wage and knowing that we are contributing to that is so important to us and everything we do.”
