Fair Employment Terms.
Are the terms people work under fair, or only legally defensible? A live session on Future-Fit Break-Even Goal BE12: what the standard requires, where your organization stands, and what to do next.
- For
- HR directors, people and culture leads, compensation and benefits teams, and health and safety managers. Also line managers, operations directors, and legal and compliance teams. No prior knowledge of the Benchmark is needed.
- Format
- Two hours forty-five minutes. Live virtual.
What it is for.
People who work reasonable hours, feel secure in their employment and have adequate time off do better, in and outside work. The goal covers freedom of association, working hours, leave and parental leave.
The standard is Future-Fit Break-Even Goal BE12, "Employees are subject to fair employment terms". In the words of the Benchmark: "A Future-Fit Business ensures that all its workers are treated fairly. Contracts between employer and employee afford individuals the basic protections, freedoms and rights expected in a prosperous and just society." The session shows what that requires, how progress is measured on the scale from 0 to 100 percent, and what your team has to do to find out where the organization stands.
It is not a complete benchmarking exercise. A real progress score needs data from every site, and more time than one session allows. Participants leave knowing exactly how to do it.
