About the Convention
Our mission
By 2025, people in Scotland will have a world-leading working life where fair work drives success, wellbeing & prosperity for individuals, businesses, organisations and for society.
Overview
The Fair Work Convention was established in 2015 following a recommendation of the Working Together Review. Our remit is to drive forward fair work in Scotland and our agenda is aspirational – it is about fair work becoming a hallmark of Scotland’s workplaces and economy.
The Fair Work Convention is an independent body which brings together employers, trade unions and academic expertise. The Convention’s role is to:
- Provide impartial advice and recommendations on fair work to Scottish Ministers, the Scottish Government and policy makers to support the Fair Work agenda
- Advocate and promote fair work across Scotland.
Our vision is that, by 2025, people in Scotland will have a world-leading working life where fair work drives success, wellbeing and prosperity for individuals, businesses, organisations and society.
Fair work is defined by the Fair Work Framework (2016). It is work that offers effective voice, security, opportunity, fulfilment and respect. It balances the rights and responsibilities of employers and workers and generates benefits for individuals and society.
