In another life I worked in a warehouse, eventually I was promoted to Warehouse Manager, one of the first things I did was to try and get everyone a pay raise.
And there was a lady worked in the warehouse who was basically waiting till she could retire, and she'd worked there longer than I'd been alive and she was on an absolute pittance, we literally got guys in off the street (from an agency) and paid them twice what she was on.
She accepted it, and because not talking about salary's was encouraged no-one knew, I don't think even the directors knew how little she was on. But when I brought it up and encourage everyone to talk about pay, she realised, and I got her a raise.
Treat your workers like people and respect them. Look after them and they'll look after your business, I don't understand why so many businesses seem to struggle with understanding that.
