Oxford Office
Championing inclusion and fair pay with the Oxford Living Wage
Oxford Office has built a reputation not only for its high-quality products but also for its commitment to people. Recently named Employer of the Year by Oxfordshire Employment, the company was recognised for its outstanding dedication to employment inclusion and disability confidence.
This commitment is reflected in the way Oxford Office supports staff at every level. Over the past year, the team welcomed an intern through a supported internship programme. At the recent Oxfordshire Employment awards celebration, the intern was also recognised for their remarkable journey, winning an award for challenging yourself, achieving employment and promoting supported internships to others.
The story didn’t end there. Oxford Office was delighted to offer the intern a permanent role, ensuring they were paid the Oxford Living Wage from day one, at just 20 years old.
“We believe fair pay goes hand-in-hand with inclusion. For us, paying the Oxford Living Wage is about valuing people properly, making sure they can thrive both inside and outside of work,” said Kay Beesley Oxford Office
The company has already seen the impact: fair pay and inclusive practices have boosted confidence, strengthened the team, and reinforced their belief that doing the right thing makes good business sense.
“Paying the Oxford Living Wage shows our staff they are respected and supported. It’s a win for wellbeing, a win for the business, and a win for Oxford as a community.”
