Jewellery retailer Pandora has announced a pay increase for retail employees in the UK and Ireland, making this the third pay rise the retailer has offered in the past 12 months.
Pandora said its pay increases came into effect earlier this month and that retail employees have received an hourly pay rise of up to 14%.
The hourly rise for retail employees in London over the past 12 months has increased 10% to £11.95 per hour, while employees across the rest of the UK have seen a 14% increase of up to £10.90 per hour.
The jewellery retailer said staff in Ireland have received a 12% increase to €13.85 (£12.20) and store management staff pay has increased by an average of 12%.
Pandora also reported the introduction of “several new enhanced incentives” within its retail operations last year, including the introduction of a monthly bonus scheme, a Pandora jewellery allowance of up to £500 and an incentive travel trip to Thailand.
Pandora managing director for the UK and Ireland Rasmus Brix said: “We have an exceptional team at Pandora who put an incredible amount of passion and energy into making the customer experience so unique. It’s a key reason millions of people put their trust in our brand every day and a major contributor to our overall success as a business.
“Investing in the growth and fulfilment of our retail teams has been a top priority for us and we’ve put a great amount of effort into fostering a healthy workplace culture – one where our employees are not only rewarded competitively but also where they feel heard, valued and supported through the right tools, platforms and policies.
“We are absolutely committed to developing these areas even further as our business experiences growth.”
