Fair Work Employer Tips | OPPORTUNITY | Ellie Lamont - The mutual benefits of modern apprenticeships

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 ‘OPPORTUNITY’
Given the significance of part-time or casual employment in the tourism sector, it is important that you address the need to provide opportunities and support for all employees. This is all about recognising that different individuals may have different perspectives on opportunities in tourism, both within and beyond your own business.
Of course, in a small business, opportunities for progression may be limited, but as an employer you can still encourage people to plan for a career in tourism. It’s about promoting access to tourism- relevant training and wider skills development. And, if it is appropriate, and there are opportunities in your business, then you should ensure that promotion and progression paths are clear - and these opportunities are equally attainable by all.
