BRAG Enterprises is proud to stand alongside more than 4,000 employers across Scotland who are accredited Real Living Wage employers, demonstrating a shared commitment to ensuring workers earn a wage that reflects the true cost of living.
As part of Real Living Wage Week, BRAG Enterprises is highlighting the positive impact that fair pay has on employees and communities. The organisation remains committed to paying the Real Living Wage, recognising that fair pay is not only good for business but also a vital step in tackling in-work poverty and supporting employee wellbeing.
For employees under the age of 21, the difference is significant. By paying the Real Living Wage rather than the statutory minimum wage, BRAG Enterprises estimates that our younger team members receive an average of £455 extra per month, equating to approximately £5,460 per year. This additional income can help cover essential living costs, reduce financial pressure and provide greater financial stability.
As an employer with a strong focus on social impact, BRAG Enterprises views fair pay as a key part of its wider mission to support individuals, strengthen communities and create positive opportunities for everyone. Through its ongoing commitment to the Real Living Wage, the organisation continues to invest in its workforce and contribute to a more equitable economy.
By choosing to pay the Real Living Wage, BRAG Enterprises is helping to lead the way in promoting fair employment practices and demonstrating that businesses can succeed while placing the wellbeing of their people at the heart of what they do.
