The deadline for response to the Fair Work in the Third Sector Survey has been extended to Monday 9th January 2023.
The Scottish Centre for Employment Research (University of Strathclyde) has been commissioned by Glasgow Council for the Voluntary Sector (GCVS), Highland Third Sector Interface and the Robertson Trust to undertake research mapping the extent of fair work in Scotland’s third and voluntary sector, and identifying the opportunities and challenges for employers in delivering fair work. They have launched an online survey to gather responses.
This survey should be completed by anyone who is a paid worker in the third and voluntary sector, at all levels of the organisation. The local sector’s participation is crucial to providing a full picture of fair work experiences, from which practice and policy will be developed.
The research team is particularly keen to hear from non-management members of staff, as their perceptions may be different.
Scottish Government is working to make Scotland a Fair Work nation; “fair work” is defined by the Fair Work Convention Fair Work Framework (2016). As a result, participants will be asked questions about their experiences of 5 dimensions of fair work:
- Opportunity – to access and progress in work and employment
- Security – of employment, work, hours and income
- Fulfilment – work that is fulfilling, meaningful and uses your skills and talents
- Respect – for your health and safety, contribution and work-life balance
- Effective Voice – your views are sought out, listened to and can make a difference
The new deadline for responses is next Friday 16th December.
To submit your response, or for further information, please visit the University of Strathclyde survey page.
