Paying a Living Wage is a powerful way to align your business with the interests of your employees, customers, and the broader society.
For local businesses looking to thrive in a competitive environment, accreditation as a Living Wage employer offers a clear path to success. It’s an investment in people that pays dividends in productivity, loyalty, and brand strength – key ingredients for sustained business growth. Accreditation as a Living Wage employer also aligns with the Economy Minister’s economic priorities to support good jobs and raise productivity within the Northern Ireland economy.
In line with our Environmental, Social and Governance Strategic commitments, Invest NI has recently gained its own accreditation as a Living Wage employer. This accreditation ensures all our employees and contractors are paid above the Living Wage threshold. Invest NI is one of the first 100 employers in Northern Ireland to receive accreditation and we would encourage all businesses in Northern Ireland to do the same and reap the benefits the accreditation brings.
If you would like to find out more about becoming an accredited Living Wage employer you can register for the Living Wage event which is hosted by Living Wage NI in our Invest NI HQ in Belfast on Tuesday 5 November.
