SUMMARY:Compassionate employers, and the real living wage
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/182390
DESCRIPTION:This webinar discussed compassionate employers/workplaces, and then considered the real living wage/global living wage as a specific policy benchmark set by good employers, responsible businesses.\n
 There have been wide variations in UK employers’ responses to COVID-19 – notably between responsible compassionate employers (who consult workers, pay a real living wage, offer job security and decent working conditions) , and exploitative ones (who breach health and safety, silence worker concerns, provide poverty pay, and perpetuate a hire and fire culture). This variation in employer (mis)behaviour was apparent before Covid-19. Speakers included:\n \n • Charlotte Villiers (Bristol University) – compassionate workplaces\n • Deborah Hann, Ed Heery, Dave Nash (Cardiff University) – UK employers and the real living wage.\n • Dilan Gurgur (Living Wage Foundation) – a Global Living Wage.\n
