Fair Work First

Nairn Museum is committed to the Scottish Government’s Fair Work First policy. This is the Scottish  Government’s flagship policy for driving high quality and fair work, and workforce diversity across  the labour market in Scotland. To fulfil these principles Nairn Museum will adopt fair work  practices: 

Real Living Wage  

  • Staff are paid the Real Living Wage, or above, according to their level of responsibilities. 

Effective Voice and Opportunity 

Nairn Museum will provide the opportunity for the workforce to contribute ideas, be listened to  and heard. We will achieve this through: 

  • Appropriate channels for effective workers’ voice, including one to one, open communication and feedback channels.
  • Investment in workforce development through training and appraisals.
  • Recognising the rights of all employees to join a trade union. 

Job Security  

Nairn Museum will provide job security to the workforce to help with their sense of well-being and  being a valued part of the organisation. We will achieve this through: 

  •  Opposing the use of fire and rehire practice. 
  • No use of zero hour’s contracts. 

In line with Museums Galleries Scotland’s Fair Work First recruitment standards, Nairn Museum will  create a more diverse and inclusive workplace through recruitment best practice. 

Workplace and Value  

Nairn Museum understands that our workforce achieves their best through respectful relationships at all levels. We will achieve this through: 

  • Recognising the importance of health, dignity, wellbeing, staff efforts, contribution and work-life balance.  
  • Rewarding and recognising good work through discussion, affirmation and good line  management relations. 
  • Ensuring a friendly environment that is solutions orientated. 
  • Providing a management open door policy where possible. 
  • Creating a more diverse and inclusive workplace including flexible working arrangements  where appropriate. 
  • Implementing hybrid working where achievable. 
  • Ensuring a welcoming and inclusive workplace, which engenders healthy and happy work  relationships.
