The Living Wage with Gail Irvine
Manage episode 414361349 series 2286647
In this episode, we talk about the cost of living and about the moral and business case for employers to embed living wage initiatives in their HR strategies.
Bill Banham's guest today is Gail Irvine, Head of Business Development and Policy at the Living Wage Foundation
Gail joined the Living Wage Foundation in October 2022 and is responsible for driving forward new projects that maximize voluntary employer approaches to tackle in-work poverty and promote good work.
Previously, Gail was Living Wage Scotland Manager at the Poverty Alliance, the franchise partner delivering Living Wage accreditation in Scotland. Gail spent five years as a Senior Policy and Development Officer at Carnegie UK, a UK charitable foundation, where she led the delivery of their ‘Fulfilling Work’ program, focusing on policy and employer interventions required to make work better.
