Living Wage - Committed to Fair Compensation
What is the Living Wage?
The Living Wage is a voluntary hourly rate of pay that is calculated based on the actual cost of living. Unlike the minimum wage, which is set by government regulations, the Living Wage is determined independently. It takes into account the basic necessities of life, such as housing, food, and transportation, and ensures that employees are paid a wage that enables them to cover these essential costs.
Why Did METHOD Choose to Become a Living Wage Employer?
- Valuing Our Team: Our team members are the heart and soul of METHOD. By paying them a Living Wage, we're demonstrating our commitment to their well-being and acknowledging the hard work and dedication they bring to our projects.
- Promoting Fairness: Becoming a Living Wage employer aligns with our values of fairness and inclusivity. It's a step towards reducing income inequality within our organisation and the broader community.
- Boosting Employee Morale: When employees are paid a wage that allows them to live comfortably, it directly impacts their job satisfaction and morale. Happy and financially secure team members are more motivated, creative, and focused.
- Attracting Talent: In the UK's competitive events industry, attracting and retaining top talent is crucial. By offering a Living Wage, we stand out as an employer that values its employees and attracts the best in the field.
