Zedify Co-founder, Sam Keam, writes a new blog for Living Wage Foundation reflecting on the impact that being a Living Wage employer has had for our business.
“The logistics industry has become notorious for the poor employment practices that have become increasingly commonplace.

As employers, we have a choice: to build our business models around the premise that the worker comes last; or to focus our efforts around supporting good, sustainable, ethical employment. That choice should be simple. Our employees – just like workers everywhere – are people with bills to pay, rent to make and lives to live. People who need a real Living Wage, especially during these uncertain times.”
