Now it has 11 offices

30、,259 lawyers 83 of them women(a greater ratio than the average law firm), a support staff of nearly 2,000 and its turnover is more than 140m.The firm represents a number of major UK companies and has a strong international network. Although very competitive in the market place ,RCT has created a car

31、ing environment for its staff. For example, the working week was cut recently ,while pay remained the same.RCT says its success is due to the way its lawyers are paid. The profit share for each lawyer is calculated annually and is based on work completed rather than being an automatic reward for len

32、gth of service. Another difference between this firm and many others is than there are no fixed office hours; staff decide on their own work pattern, although there are minimum and maximum numbers of working hours.

37、ions of pounds on a range of eye-catching new stores in Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.

The Wrights group currently achieves an average profit of 210 per square metr

38、e in its stores, while its main competitor only manages 80.Although wages in the retail industry as a whole are fairly poor, Wrights staff are amongst the best paid. And in addition to competitive salaries, having shares in the business means that they also receive a bonus payment, calculated as a p

39、ercentage of annual profits. Last year it was an extraordinary 22 per cent.The company was based on the idea that all workers should be partners in the business, and this policy operates at all levels. Every shop has a committee, which elects 120 central members ,who in turn elect members to the cen

40、tral board. It is this method of organization which has certainly led to the excellent conditions of employment enjoyed by staff.Benefits dont stop at the very generous bonuses.
