FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
JLL’s building and engineering services business, Integral, which is set to formally join JLL’s Workplace Management sub-business line and adopt the JLL brand in October, has officially been accredited as a Real Living Wage Recognised Service Provider by the Living Wage Foundation.
Joining JLL’s existing accreditation framework, this recognition underscores Integral’s ongoing commitment to fair pay, responsible employment practices and social value. With this accreditation, Integral has committed to paying all directly employed staff the Real Living Wage and presenting a Real Living Wage option in every client bid.
The Real Living Wage is independently calculated based solely on the actual cost of living. It is different to the government’s minimum wage rate, which is often referred to as the ‘National Living Wage’ for those over the age of 21.
Integral’s step has already had a transformative effect, with 113 employees receiving a pay rise. To date, 95 per cent of staff working on contracts are now paid the Real Living Wage, and 99 per cent of client contracts now pay the Real Living Wage.
Peter Jones, MD of Integral and Workplace Management, EMEA, JLL, said: “We believe paying the Real Living Wage is simply the right thing to do. This accreditation isn’t the destination, but part of our ongoing commitment to raising pay standards across our industry and helping all our people to feel truly valued in their work.”
Through the rebrand to JLL, Integral will continue working closely with clients to expand Real Living Wage coverage. The business aims to exceed its current 95 per cent by 2026 and advocate for pay uplift across all roles where possible.
Facilities & Estates Management Live will open its doors on 7th and 8th October at the Business Design Centre in London.
Brought to you by the people behind the Facilities Management Journal (FMJ), visitors can tour the exhibition stands featuring some of the leading FM service providers & product suppliers as well as enjoy a lively seminar programme.
