What are the benefits of paying a living wage? Just ask @naiad_irrigation . They've been able to attract and retain the best employees who are motivated to work for them. Why? Because their employees have increased mental, physical and economic wellbeing.
Whether you're new to being a living wage employer or it has been part of your business mandate from the start, the commitment to paying employees a living wage makes a great impact!
Why do @TDDyouth pay a living wage? It's a commitment that allows their employees to not just survive but thrive in times of economic stability. Curious how you can become a living wage employer? Learn more here: livingwagealberta.ca
What's missing in Alberta? Real action on increasing minimum wage. We've seen all other provinces making these increases in 2022 and 2023 and it's time for Alberta to step up.
We often hear the benefits of a living wage from the employer perspective and we wanted to hear from the employees. Here's what @solaralberta Member Services Lead had to say about working for a certified living wage employer.
We're so excited to have @xhalebrewco joining the Network! Thank you for your commitment to the living wage movement in Alberta.

Thank you to @lethnewsnow for highlighting the Lethbridge living wage released today! lethbridgenewsnow.com/2023/11/08/let…
2023 Living Wage numbers will be released next week and some numbers went down from last year - we explore why that is in our latest blog post: livingwagealberta.ca/news/some-livi…
“It’s not a question of whether the Alberta government can afford to pay us fair wages. They have run huge surpluses the past few years — $11.6 billion in 2022-23. It’s a matter of priorities, and providing a living wage to workers should be a bare minimum.”

We're thrilled to have @FusedAccounting joining our network of certified Living Wage Emloyers in Alberta!
There are now 100 Living Wage employers certified in Alberta! We’re thrilled that @acden_group certified as the 100th employer. Learn more about how we reached this milestone and about Acden here: livingwagealberta.ca/news/alberta-l…
“As an employer we owe so much more to our employees than just an hourly wage” says Kevin Kent from @Knifewear about his holistic approach to caring for employees
“Employees are not supporters of the business. Employees ARE the business” says Yeonsil Kang of @homespritzclean @belocal_yyc @momentumcalgary
“I wanted to help people build a career” says @dogmatraining owner Megan Stanley about why she pays a living wage to her dog trainers.
“Paying a living wage is what we have to do to run a great business” @righteousgelato pays a living wage because they want to retain their talent, have their employees retire at the company and support their employees having a life built on a solid foundation
“Paying your staff a living wage is just good business practice” says Kevin Kent from @Knifewear 34% of their employees have been with the company for over 5 years as a result of being paid a living wage
