We are delighted to be able to say we are now accredited as a Living Wage Employer! The Living Wage is a voluntary scheme designed to provide employees with a wage that is calculated to the cost of living, which differs to the Government’s minimum wage which is based on median earnings.
Team morale is extremely important, and ensuring that our team feel valued for the work they do and creating a working environment in which our team know they are making a real impact, is paramount to the success of the business and our team. Joining the Living Wage Foundation will make a real difference to our team; we believe in our people and we believe they should be paid fairly as part of this.
Managing Director, Matthew Ellis-Mather expressed his reasoning behind becoming Living Wage accredited: “Our team are at the heart of everything we do, and we believe they should be paid fairly for the hard work they do on a daily basis to drive this business forward. The accreditation is an investment in our employees and aligns with our values of providing a positive working environment.”
Katherine Chapman, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: “We’re delighted that Ellis Mather Group has joined the movement of over 5,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.”
