As part of the Scottish Government’s Fair Work Festival, the Fair Work Convention has launched two new support tools, a Self-Assessment Tool for Workers and a Fair Work Data Tool.
The Self-Assessment Tool for Workers asks workers how fair they think their workplace is against the five dimensions of fair work (effective voice, security, opportunity, fulfilment and respect).
Workers, employers and trade unions can use the tool to enable workers views and experiences to be collected quickly and easily. It provides visual results, and allows different experiences of fair work to be explored. The tool also provides a variety of resources that offer practical advice on implementing fair work.
The Fair Work Data Tool  will for the first time give policy makers, employers, researchers, journalists and the general public exclusive access to Scotland’s Fair Work Measurement Framework data. This tool allows efficient data dissemination in a user-friendly, engaging, and interactive way and tracks Scotland’s progress against the five dimensions of fair work.
Mary Alexander, Co-Chair of the Fair Work Convention said:
“We hope many workers businesses and employers will benefit from these new fair work tools. We believe both the Self-Assessment Tool for Workers and the Fair Work Data Tool can empower workers and businesses to strengthen fair work within the workplace and will have a positive impact on advocating for fair work in Scotland.”
Professor Patricia Findlay, Co-Chair of the Fair Work Convention added:
“The Fair Work Festival brings together employers and workers and is a unique opportunity to learn more about fair work, its implementation and its benefits. We believe fair work drives success, wellbeing and prosperity for individuals, businesses, organisations and society and we are excited to see what impact these new fair work tools can have.”
The Fair Work Festival 2025 takes place from Monday 9 June to Friday 13 June and is open to employers and workers who want to learn more about fair work and how to implement it in their organisation.
