Fair Work is an investment in everyone, for everyone. It can improve productivity, innovation, organisational reputation and recruitment. It can also reduce staff turnover and help create inclusive workplaces with a richness of talent and a diversity of ideas.

For staff, Fair Work can increase financial security, physical health and psychological wellbeing. For businesses, it brings more engaged, committed and adaptable workers who spot challenges and opportunities, solve problems, offer insight and ideas for business improvement, and create value.

What’s the event about?

This is a fully funded workshop which will help participating companies to:

• Understand the benefits of fair work (for both the business and its staff)
• Develop an action plan to embed or improve current people practices
• Prioritise and take next steps to implementing an action plan

This type of actions that could result from a fair work action plan include:

• Improving people and fair work practices
• Skills, leadership and management development
• Creating a positive culture and values-based approach
• Improving employee engagement and supporting performance management practices

What’s Involved?

1. Complete the Fair Work Employer Support Tool and familarise yourself with fair work and benchmark your company on where you are on your fair work journey.
2. Join your three-hour workshop to explore the key concepts of the five dimensions of fair work, along with some practical solutions to embed and improve this in your organisation and begin to develop your action plan.

The programme is for Scottish SMEs. You’re particularly suitable if you:

• Are you business leader or individual who wants to understand more about Fair Work and the support available.
