Our Commitment to Fair Work as an employer

We aim to lead by example through our own approaches to equality, fair working practices and securing diversity of voices in our decision making. 

We are committed to building and maintaining productive and supportive relationships with seldom heard groups, recognising the Third Sector as an important gateway. 

We provide advice, resources, mentoring and support to help enterprises understand the value of embedding Fair Work -  and take action to achieve the Fair Work First criteria – as well as monitoring their actions and progress. 

We will Co-deliver sectorial Fair Work agreements, working with employers, trade unions and groups representing the voices of the workers in key sectors, as well as with individuals with lived experience of in-work challenges and barriers. 

We will promote alternative and innovative ways of working that are more inclusive and productive. 

We will collaborate to increase the range of and access to regional learning opportunities including through Higher and Further Education. 

We will continue to work with employers, to help shape a relevant and regionally responsive training and upskilling offer for all including the talent of the future.
