More than 950 IKEA workers in the north west will receive a pay increase as part of the retailer's £12m cost of living investment.
Workers at the Warrington and Manchester stores will further benefit as the retailer is also introducing a broad range of support measures. Workers paid an hourly rate will receive a boost in earnings to £10.90 as part of the Swedish retailer's continued pledge to pay the Real Living Wage.
Salaried workers in the north west will receive a pay rise of 6% on average. IKEA is also ramping up its benefits package for workers, investing in additional financial, physical and mental support measures. Measures will include increased discounts of IKEA products with staff discount doubling to 30%, more free food options in the restaurant, and travel season ticket discounts.
