Firm's Energy Support Bonus program

The boss is helping address inflation in his own way. According to a MailOnline report, he announced the firm's Energy Support Bonus program to his staff last week. The program will likely remain in effect until further notice.

The company that has a total of 431 employees currently, is in the position to help its staff with the cost of living crisis, thanks to its "growth", confirmed the UK manager in the company meeting last week.

Company's statement

The manager said: ¡°We can help offset some of the price rises that are clearly coming."

"What we are putting into place, effective immediately, is an Energy Support Bonus, whereby each and every person in the company will receive an increase of ?200 a month in their payslips until further notice."

Why the initiative

The initiative comes after households in the UK were warned that electricity bills could go up to Rs 3,41,434 (?3,615) this October. This was followed by a more concerning analysis that predicts the rise to Rs 3,99,000 (?4,266) in January.

Further, an even worse analysis has been published by consultancy firm Auxilione - who say the price cap could reach more than Rs 5,62,500 (?6,000) in April. As per reports the company was top on the list of the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work for in 2017.
