We're proud Supporters of the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter

News - 2 August 2023

Here at Healthwatch Salford, we're proud to have achieved 'Supporter' status for Greater Manchester's Good Employment Charter.

What is the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter?

The Charter aims to improve employment standards across all GM employers regardless of size, sector or geography.

The GM Good Employment Charter has a tiered structure, made up of Supporters, Members and Advocates. Organisations can register their interest now in becoming a Supporter of the Charter. Later, Supporters will be able to become Members and Advocates.

By progressing up the tiers, organisations will be able to meet higher employment standards, learn from best practice, and improve productivity and service quality.

The Charter is a journey, rather than an assessment at a single point in time.

This means that we are committed to working towards 7 key commitments:

  • Extending secure work
  • Extending flexible work
  • Working toward paying a Real Living Wage
  • Improving workplace engagment & voice
  • Developing excellent recruitment practices
  • Improving people management
  • Fostering employee health & employee
