While paying the Living Wage has clear benefits to employees, research has identified clear benefits for employers too. Paying the Living Wage to employees creates value for an employer by:

  • Raising staff retention rates
  • Saving costs of recruitment and induction training
  • Reducing absence and sickness levels
  • Improving staff motivation and morale
  • Improving productivity
  • Enhancing profile and reputation of the business
  • Attracting better staff

A new report by the University of Strathclyde and the Living Wage Foundation reinforces the business case for paying a Living Wage. One of the key findings states that implementing the Living Wage encourages businesses to re-evaluate their business model, leading to more effective and efficient working patterns in the long term.
