Pay Every Partner has the right to know the range of pay for their type of work and what is required to improve their performance and therefore their pay. At the annual pay review we look at each Partner's pay rate to make sure that it reflects their performance and contribution to the business. We encourage Partners to discuss their pay review with managers so that they understand fully the pay decision and have a transparent approach to communications when conducting pay review. We enable and incentivise Partners to increase wages through our Pay for Performance framework, which links performance with pay. Launched in 2014, our framework has enabled us to ensure a fair and consistent approach to the application of pay awards across the Partnership. Reward is not just about pay, and our package aims to provide Partners with a range of relevant benefits. Benefits The most tangible advantage of being a Partnership is the annual bonus, where we distribute a proportion of profits equally to Partners as a percentage of salary.
But the John Lewis Partnership has always believed that there should be more to a job than just work and pay. Hence our extensive range of benefits. In line with our aim to provide a market-leading range of benefits, the Partnership continuously explores ideas for new policies and benefits. Our Buying Holiday scheme launched in 2015 and enables Partners across the Partnership to buy additional holiday. In 2016 4,898 Partners applied to the scheme which equates to 5.5% of all Partners. This is a 48% increase on 2015.
We also introduced salary sacrifice schemes where Partners can obtain benefits such as a new bike to cycle to work or the latest mobile device. Additionally financial education seminars and 1:1 financial advice is now available through the new My Financial Choices programme. Here is a summary of the valuable benefits, on top of pay and bonus, that we receive as Partners. Clubs and Societies We support a large number of subsidised sports clubs and societies at local and Partnership-wide levels. Partners can choose from a variety of sports including abseiling, climbing, football, gliding and golf, to mountain biking, netball, racquet sports, riding, skiing, surfing and swimming. Members of our sailing clubs have the use of five Partnership-owned yachts on The Solent in Hampshire throughout the sailing season.

The clubs are open to all Partners regardless of their level of sailing expertise. The club is also a recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) sailing school. Partners can work their way through the RYA syllabus to train and ultimately become a skipper. In addition our subsidised non-sport clubs and societies are also open to all Partners and offer to get involved in activities such as drama, photography or art. The Partnership Music Society incorporates five performing groups, choral, orchestral and theatrical, and has a full time Musical Director. The society gives around 15 performances a year, many of which are open to the public.
