We will <br />also continue to monitor progress on the demographics of employees working for our <br />certified employers. <br />While employers strive to pay a living wage, not every employer is in a position to do <br />so. However, in some cases adjustments in the workplace can help make the numbers <br />work. OCLW will continue to provide networking opportunities, with certified <br />employers sharing tips of the trade with aspiring employers, prioritizing employers of <br />color. <br />24000 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5C318706-42D9-4B0F-B8A6-43E915CB7F39
