In response to the vastly increasing costs of living, family-run British lingerie company, Belle Lingerie has offered its staff a £1,000 fuel bonus to assist with the recent increases to gas and electricity prices, as of April 2022. The welcomed bonus is non-repayable and will start to be paid to employees from this month (April 2022), to ensure that it provides immediate, financial relief.
Managing Director at Belle Lingerie, Janine Dutton wanted to drive home a clear message to the bosses of other businesses, whether large or small, that looking after the health and wellbeing of staff is of paramount importance, post-pandemic. Speaking from humble-beginnings, Janine states “After an extremely difficult and financially turbulent couple of years for many, during the COVID-19 pandemic, I can’t quite believe that the increasing costs of living that we are experiencing this year are continuing to make people’s lives a misery. Our staff worked exceptionally hard throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure the security of everyone’s jobs, and following the enormous rise in gas and electricity prices recently, I knew that as a business, we had to do something to help our staff during these trying times. Actions speak louder than words, and I strongly urge the bosses of other firms, big or small, to follow in our footsteps, if possible, to ensure a happy and healthy workforce. A little kindness can go a long way, and this is a message that I am eager to spread.”
