Currently, 1.6m workers in the UK are not receiving a living wage.
Research by academics at University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School and University of Edinburgh Business School has revealed that when employees pay a living wage it improves a worker's physical and mental health and brings benefits to their employing organisation, their family and society, as well as being an important means of resilience to them all, especially post–pandemic.
To encourage more employers to pay a living wage an online interactive educational game was launched by EAWOP (European Association of Work and Organisational Psychology) and ESRC (Economic and Social Research Council), in partnership with University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School and University of Edinburgh Business School.
The game, SuperbMarket, explores the connections between job quality and employee identity, organisational commitment, fairness, and trust.
