We are an accredited Living Wage Employer!
At CTA, we're committed to more than just a representative and inclusive tech sector. We're committed to creating a better future, and that starts with our most valuable asset: our people. That's why we're proud to be an accredited Living Wage Employer.
What does the Living Wage mean?
The Living Wage Foundation, an independent organisation, calculates what an employee actually needs to earn to cover the basic costs of living. It's more than just the minimum wage, and it reflects the reality of everyday expenses. By being accredited, CTA is certified to pay our staff this fair wage.
Why does it matter?
We believe everyone deserves a decent standard of living, and in-work poverty shouldn't exist. Becoming a Living Wage Employer isn't just about ticking a box; it's about our values. We want our employees to be financially secure and focused on their work, not worrying about making ends meet.
Beyond the wage
The Living Wage Foundation goes further than just the wage itself. They advocate for secure working hours, better pensions, and good employment practices. This aligns perfectly with CTA's commitment to fostering a positive and supportive work environment.
Standing out from the crowd
Being a Living Wage Employer sets CTA apart. We join a prestigious group of companies like Aviva, Lush, KPMG, IKEA, and Nationwide who share our commitment to fair pay. It demonstrates to potential employees that we value their wellbeing and this is a great place to start a career in tech. This is an initiative that shouldn’t need to exist, but unfortunately in the UK, there are many employers still not committed to paying their teams a fair living wage.
