Join the BCMA, Living Wage for Families BC, the Vancouver Foundation, and Centre A for this valuable and timely webinar. A living wage is an opportunity for employers to do better. A living wage calls on employers to meet a higher standard for staff, to ensure that wages reflect the true costs of living in a community and that parents can earn what they need to support their families.
Paying a Living Wage has benefits for your site and your staff and can reduce staff turnover, recruitment, and training costs, and can increase morale, productivity, and brand awareness. Participants in this webinar will learn about the benefits of paying a living wage and how to become a Living Wage Employer. Hear from the Vancouver Foundation on why they fund Living Wage Employers and from Centre A on the benefits they've seen since becoming a Living Wage Employer.
