What is fair work?

The Scottish Government's vision of fair work is that jobs and opportunities should be meaningful, sustainable and underpinned by a package of training.  Advancing equality and inclusion and working to eliminate discrimination are central to the Young Person's Guarantee.
Employers are being asked to adopt fair working practices through:
​

• Appropriate channels for effective voice, such as trade union recognition
• Investment in workforce development
• No inappropriate use of zero hours contracts
• Action to tackle the gender pay gap and create a more diverse and inclusive workspace
• Payment of the real living wage

How to support and create an inclusive and fair workplace

​By adopting fair work practices and improving the equality and inclusion practice of your organisation you can attract and retain talent from a diverse group of employees. While these actions are not exclusive to young people, the wider approach of the organisation will benefit the young people in the workforce.
