Becoming a fair work nation

Flexible/reduced hours and remote working.

There no technical blockers, it only needs an agreement with the employer.

One significant challenge is employment agencies. Generally, the focus is not on the interests or needs of the employee, or sending the most suitable candidate to a company, but the immediate financial benefits to the agency of getting a candidate into a job that provides a good return.

In terms of employers, as long as they are honest and upfront about their working practices then potential employees can decide whether or not that is somewhere they belong.

An examination of how employment agencies conduct themselves e.g. the casual dishonesty and questionable use of data.

The economic challenges result from the actions of various governments including the Scottish Government. The Scottish Government is therefore one of the barriers.

Furthermore, as long as the views of transgender, BLM and woke campaigners are considered sacrosanct, there can never be any "fair" work.

None - the government and media have been pushing fear for circa 2 years. Add to that the divisive woke campaigns fracturing society, is this really the best time to be discussing "Fair Work" while some may be afraid of cancellation for having any alternate opinion?

Conceptually, Fair Work seems reasonable but reality is a bit different. Some people don't want to contribute in the workplace. Some people do not have the appropriate skills and no amount of training changes that, they may be better suited to a position elsewhere. Fair Work risks enabling their permanency in an ill-suited role. The burden moves to those who do contribute and who do have the skills. This may cause them to leave, taking their work-ethic and skillset elsewhere.
Fair Work might sink businesses that cannot afford to carry staff who aren't best suited to the role for which they were hired. It could create resentment among hard-working staff who are considered equal to under-performing colleagues because that is what Fair Work demands. It can bring the work of employees down to the level of the most incapable rather than inspiring ingenuity and creativity. Why work hard to be considered equal to someone who isn't?
With this in mind, the Scottish Government should do nothing. The workplace may not be ideal but the government is not capable of competently managing society to this level. Who says we want them to? At this point in time, it looks like another step towards a totalitarian state.

Employees need to take action for themselves to make changes happen.

If the current regime had full control over employment law, I think they would already have decided on a course of action given they are aligned with UN 2030.

Be supportive of employees with recognition that some people might not be suited to that workplace and may need some assistance to make way for a replacement that will contribute to the success of the organisation.
