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.
