Benchmarking of wages

The WageIndicator Global Living Wage Database supports organisations and companies in carrying out the benchmarking of wages. By getting insight into Living Wage rates for specific countries and regions, your organisation can compare and adjust your employees' compensation and benefits. This is not only suitable to benchmark the total rewards of your own employees. Your supply chain and its workers can also benefit from the Living Wage Database.

Achieving Sustainable Development Goals
