Fair Treatment at Work

The workplace is changing?

The Government’s focus: Gender Pay Gap Reporting UK National Wage Women on Boards Ethnicity & Disability Targets? Apprenticeships Social Mobility/Inclusion? Grandparents?

People leave managers not organisations Line Managers need the tools to do the job including: Confidence to deal with issues Understand their own biases (Conscious and Unconscious) and how these affect decision making How to be an inclusive leader

People need: Supportive Line Managers Clear and transparent policies and procedures Opportunities to work in an agile way with more autonomy over when, where and how they work To know that they will be treated fairly and consistently To feel included

The role of organisations Create environments where people excel Communicate that difference is welcome and why Measure what is important: How people feel Are they going to stay Do they have the resources needed to do the job Be fair and consistent when dealing with employees / workers

In Summary: It’s not about trying to get more people to complain but if they do, make sure they are treated fairly and consistently Organisations must understand they are operating in a competitive market and that their success depends on engaged and motivated people Focus on Training, Support, Communication and Measurement
