Fair Work
Fair Work is more than how much employees get paid. It's ensuring workers have meaningful employment that allows them to thrive and develop. By providing an environment that is safe, respectful, and healthy it allows businesses to grow from strength to strength.
We are currently developing a Fair Work Charter for the city. This will include a universal set of standards, that are achievable by all Edinburgh employers regardless of their size or sector, to deliver against a set of outcomes around ‘opportunity’, ‘security’, ‘respect and employee voice’, and ‘fulfilment’. The Charter is a way to secure commitments and support from our employers (with public recognition) in terms of driving the fairest possible employment behaviours and practices.
These commitments and support can help tackle issues across the city like in-work poverty, barriers to employment and progression, productivity challenges, and poor mental health.
We would like to hear your thoughts on the Charter, whether you are an employer or a worker. Please visit our consultation hub page to take part.
