Grouped debate |
This conference calls upon Lloyds Banking Group to review GPS and replace it directly with an increase in basic salaries. The past few years have shown GPS to be unreliable and colleagues can be hit hard when this is not awarded. However, moving this award onto salaries would make it more reliable and more beneficial to colleagues’ overall pay including flex, overtime or pensions.

This conference asks TSB to consider pay and reward for those who are at top of their salary grade. These are staff who have a wealth of experience and demonstrate loyalty and don’t always feel valued particularly when new starters are joining on increased salaries. We urge TSB to consider reward options so that these colleagues feel valued and motivated to remain with the business.

Grouped debate |
This conference requests that Lloyds Banking Group look at the pay scales in relation to the work now being carried out by those in the Grade A. These colleagues are now being asked to carry out more and more complex tasks on a daily basis as well as standing in for managers, being keyholders, engineers for self service devices, IT experts, customer wellbeing advisers and more. We are doing very similar roles to Grade B colleagues but the pay scales don't reflect this and it is time that this was changed.

This conference calls on Lloyds Banking Group to conduct a full review on pay grades. Over the years we have seen changes to particular pay grades, which is very welcome, but with these there is a ripple effect on other grades feeling they are also due a grade review.

This conference calls upon Lloyds Banking Group & TSB to commit to trialling a four-day working week without any financial loss to colleagues. This conference acknowledges Lloyds Banking Groups & TSB potential concerns over meeting customer demand through their customer facing division. However, there is strong and convincing research which shows a four-day week, increases productivity and colleague engagement and reduces a colleague carbon footprint.

This Conference believes digitisation represents an unprecedented opportunity for both colleagues individually and to the business. Our ability to harness existing knowledge, skills and experience will be critical to the success of Lloyds Banking Group's transformation, and effective reskilling and redeployment can create flexibility and greater development opportunities for colleagues, whilst benefiting the business by retaining talent.

This conference recognises we are working in unprecedented times of “fuel poverty” and “heat or eat” situations with potential for this to worsen in the autumn. Workers in the finance sector are not immune to these impacts and we ask Lloyds Banking Group and TSB to consider a range of options to help ease the burden for the staff who need it, for example, pension payment holiday, preferential staff rates for overdrafts, easy access to support and advice. In addition, we would like more support for the staff dealing with customers who are struggling financially.

This conference continues to recognise the efforts of Lloyds Banking Group and TSB to build strong diversity networks and to use these to enhance existing policies and procedures. They act as a vital source of information sharing and awareness raising among employees and Accord fully supports the business objectives to be an inclusive and diverse organisation.
Conference acknowledges the work that Accord has done over recent years to engage with employers on their equality strategies, and that there has been some joint working in both TSB & Lloyds Banking Group (for example work on the Dying to Work charter, Menopause, Reasonable Adjustment Passports for disability). However, Conference believes that more extensive joint working is beneficial in this area.
