Despite inflation falling to 2.2% in 2024 from its peak of 11.1% in October 2022, prices in the UK continue to rise, albeit at a slower rate. The 2022 surge was fueled by high demand for oil and gas post-COVID and further intensified by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. While food prices have eased, sectors like services are still seeing significant price increases, keeping inflation above the Bank of England’s 2% target.Security sector leaders must prioritize paying at least the official living wage to avoid exploiting workers, which can lead to financial stress and low morale. Fair wages not only benefit employees but also enhance retention, job satisfaction, and service quality.UK wage growth has fluctuated across sectors, with periods of growth and stagnation. Inflation has significantly impacted real wage growth, and comparing it with other countries provides a broader understanding of the economic pressures workers face. At EarnFlex, we are fully committed to this principle, ensuring that no worker is paid below the living wage, which upholds fair treatment and dignity for all employees.https:www.statista.comstatistics933075wage-growth-in-the-uk#UKInflation #WageGrowth #LivingWage #FairPay #SecuritySector #EmployeeWellbeing #EconomicImpact #EarnFlex #WorkerRights #InflationImpact #WageStagnation #EthicalEmployment
