SUMMARY:GM Good Employment Charter Workshop

However\, there are challenges with diversity\, recruitment of skilled people\, and skill development in smaller companies. Productivity is on average lower than for similar businesses across the UK. \n  \nGreater Manchester has launched a Good Employment Charter to increase productivity\, and to enable the inclusion of all people in the region in the opportunities and benefits of higher growth. \nCome along and find out how your company (start-up/growing/established) is performing on the seven standards of Charter – in effect a checklist of employment issues to consider and implement.  \nYou will also be able to influence GMCA (Greater Manchester Combined Authority) and Tameside Council’s approach to supporting good work in digital; and brainstorm\, with other similar businesses\, how to create shared resources to help you improve your employment practices.  \nAgenda           (9.30am breakfast for 10am start) \n10-10.15am      Introductions. What is ‘good work’ and how is the digital sector doing?
