Fair Work Employer Tips | EFFECTIVE VOICE | Ian Leith - Sociable opportunities for communication

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 ‘EFFECTIVE VOICE’
This is all about how you engage with and listen to your employees. It is about making the effort to encourage your team to provide a different perspective, and to offer input on anything that could make a positive difference to the business and its customers. At its most basic, it is about ensuring everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas, and that they have confidence in you to deal with suggestions positively and constructively.
It is about openness and dialogue, which includes discussing any concerns people may have. It can be both informal - early morning team chats over a coffee - or more formal, which would include the opportunity to openly share opinions at personal reviews.
