Fair Work Employer Tips | RESPECT | Ali Smith - Appropriate use of zero hours contracts
Committing to the principles of fair work can help you to ensure you are an employer of choice, to attract and keep the best workers for the future success of your business, and the Scottish tourism industry as a whole.
The new free guide for employers breaks down the principles of fair work into 5 ‘pillars of fair’ with checklists to help you make the concepts relevant to you and your employees, particularly as a small tourism business operating in the Highlands and Islands.
One of the pillars is ‘RESPECT’
This pillar is all about treating everyone with the dignity they deserve. It is about recognising personal self-worth and encouraging mutual respect. It’s about establishing trusting and open relationships – where you are not only concerned for the wellbeing of individual employees – but also showing respect for their personal/family life beyond the workplace in particular by addressing the need for flexible working arrangements.
It is about doing what you must do to protect the health and safety of employees – including zero tolerance for bullying or harassment. Everyone has the right to feel safe at work, and you should ensure everyone in your team is comfortable in the work environment, and that they know how to seek help if they feel they are subject to perceived bullying or harassment.
