FCSS Fair Work Policy.pdf

Flexible Childcare Services Scotland (FCSS) is a Scottish charitable organisation (SC049318) that prioritizes fair work practices, including being a Living Wage employer. This allows staff to feel valued, live comfortably, and be more productive. FCSS conducts regular feedback sessions to foster good relationships, address concerns, and involve staff in decision-making.

The organisation provides access to numerous training opportunities to maintain high-quality staff, reduce turnover, and ensure employees have the necessary skills. FCSS does not use zero-hour contracts, offering stability and financial security to its team members.

As an equal opportunity employer, FCSS hires based on merit, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender, age, or ability. The organisation aims to increase gender diversity, having pledged support to the MITEY Charter, and values a diverse workforce for its benefits in understanding needs, increasing morale, and providing positive role models for children.

FCSS prioritizes flexibility, offering flexible working practices to support work-life balance, retain staff, and promote a happy and healthy workforce. The organisation opposes the use of fire and rehire practices, believing they negatively impact staff morale and working relations. Instead, FCSS seeks external HR advice to ensure fair and supportive employment practices.
