Fair Work First statement
Dornoch Firth Group is committed to ensuring there are fair working practices in place and demonstrates its commitment to the Scottish Government’s Fair Work First policy by confirmation of the following :
Appropriate channels for effective voice, such as trade
union recognition
Dornoch Firth Group SCIO supports the development of a working environment
where there is space for people to be heard, and where people can be who they are and can have choice and participate. We use the term ‘Speak Up’ to encourage
people to ask questions, raise concerns, seek support and network across our
organisation.
We carry out Annual Workforce reviews and Volunteer Engagement reviews. We
analyse the results of every intervention we do, share them with leadership teams, publish the results on the intranet, and create action plans to make changes to improve employee and volunteer experiences.
Investment in workforce development
We support learning and development across the organisation at individual, team and organisational level using a range of learning opportunities. We expect line
managers and employees to proactively engage in career performance and
development planning conversations regularly.
No inappropriate use of zero hours contracts
We have no zero hour contracts in use.
Action to tackle the gender pay gap and create a more
diverse and inclusive workplace
Dornoch Firth Group SCIO is fully committed to an inclusive culture that welcomes
all people for who they are. We have no gender pay gap. We have an Equality,
Diversity and Inclusion programme of change that recognises we need diverse
people to work both in the organisation and in the community to forward our aims.
Payment of the real Living Wage
We pay all our employees the Living Wage rate.
Offer flexible and family friendly working practices for all
workers from day one of employment
Dornoch Firth Group SCIO supports its workforce to work flexibly at the time and in the location that best meets the needs of the organisation, the job, the employee and the team. We embrace flexibility where possible with remote working, home-based working, hybrid working and continually review working patterns for new and existing employees.
Our flexible and family friendly working practice policies are available to employees in line with statutory requirements. In practice all requests are considered on the merits of the request and business needs, and line managers are advised they should agree to flexible working requests unless there is a business reason not to.
We oppose the use of fire and rehire practices
