'''"Novartis - dealing with complexities of implementing a living wage"'''
"Based in Basel, this Swiss pharmaceutical company employs more than 101,000 people and operates in 140 countries. Its focus extends not only to the users of its products but to its employees as well being one of the first international companies to develop and implement a voluntary commitment to pay a living wage to all of its employees around the world. According to Novartis, to focus on a living rather than a minimum wage can contribute to stability and prosperity in communities and attract more skilled, productive and loyal employees. However, being one of the first companies to implement a living wage meant that it was done in the absence of universally accepted models. Novartis took a range of existing methodologies that considered specific geographic data and household expenditure for varying household sizes and places of residence."
