Case study:

Case study: Coastline Housing What did you have to do to become accredited as a Living Pension Employer? As we were part of the initial pilot testing, we spent a lot of time talking to our colleagues to understand what they knew about pensions and to see if there was a better way to talk about them. [...] Once our Board of Trustees reviewed our recommendations and approved the planned approach, we worked with the Living Wage Foundation to complete the licence agreement and communicate the change to colleagues. [...] We looked at what it would cost to target those not in the pension and those in the pension but not at the Living Pension cash target. [...] Due to the nature of our business, we do not outsource very much, but where we do, we have a plan in place to work with those suppliers to look at how we bring the Living Pension to those workers as well. [...] It is a harder piece to deliver as it is less within our control, but we are working with them and the Living Wage Foundation to find a way in the next few years.
