Mid-year 'cost of living' payment

Hi Sophie,
In our company, we made a higher than usual pay increase at the end of last year in anticipation of it being a difficult year. We've also just made a one-off payment to all staff of the same lump sum across the board.
Another thing we've done is to do really clear signposting on our internal homepage to all the financial assistance available from the government so people can find out what's relevant to them.
We've been broadcasting financial wellbeing webinars in our meeting room for people to attend if they'd like to, and intend to carry on doing this.

"Other proposals include a salary sacrifice scheme under which cycle-to-work schemes would also be used to help people buy electric vehicles and heat pumps; carbon labelling on food; and new grants to help people with the high cost of retrofitting homes."

This is what I had mentioned previously about a salary sacrifice scheme to help people have more energy efficient homes.
