Is increasing wages enough to create better jobs, or do businesses also need to provide employees with a clear route towards greater skills, responsibility and earning potential?
In this solo episode from 2018, Peter Boolkah shares his perspective on the minimum-wage debate and the financial pressure facing employers.
He argues that businesses should neither underpay people nor assume that increasing wages alone will solve poor productivity, weak training or limited career progression.
You’ll hear:
The most enduring lesson is not about a particular wage figure. It is about creating a transparent pathway through which employees can learn, contribute more, accept greater responsibility and increase their earning potential.
Recorded in 2018. The wage figures, political circumstances and economic arguments discussed reflect that period and should not be treated as current legal, employment or economic guidance.
