Epson Europe Response
7yHi there! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We agree Epson’s annual leave and pension benefits are great. We appreciate your comments regarding our maternity package and gender pay gap figures; our total pay and benefits offer is constantly being reviewed and benchmarked to ensure we offer a highly competitive overall offer to our employees. The feedback we've had is that our employees tell us that the considerable benefits we offer at Epson are exceptional.
We have just this week released our gender pay-gap report from April 2018, so this might give you a little more insight into this area. Despite the gender pay gap being smaller than other comparative organisations, we are committed to reducing it even more and have developed an action plan to achieve this.
All employees can apply for flexible working and we have a core hours policy (which all employees are able to take advantage of to vary their start and finish times between 8-10am and 4-6pm). In addition to this employees can request further flexible working arrangements. 89% of these formal flexible working requests in FY18 were accommodated.
In regards to the parking, most days all of our employees are able to park in an Epson parking space. Epson’s business is growing and in turn our headcount has increased and this along with other tenants joining the site has meant the car park has become busier over the last year. From time to time there are some days where a small number of employees have found it difficult to park, however this is very much the exception not the norm. Despite this we take even one employee’s difficultly in finding a parking space very seriously so we are currently investigating solutions. We will be providing further updates and information to employees on the matter.
Thank you for taking the time to write this post. Your comments will be considered along with other feedback as we continue to make Epson a great place to work!
