Sorry to dissapoint but quite the opposite! The plan is very much to make our pay rates competitive and make sure we are paying market rate.This is whether we pay too low not too much!
Very much about staff retention.
We have a warehouse to wheels scheme and have invested massively in car licence to class 2 and 1 but find in the north west we struggle to retain class 1s after their training cost agreement is spent… we only operate Monday to Friday and some good for the bigger bucks and work weekends or shifts elsewhere.
Whereas in Enfield where we have a 7.5 tonnes home delivery operation we find we retain staff but there’s always the pushing for more money!
Like I said it’s about ‘are we currently paying too low?’
The red bit tells me all I need to know!
