Under the West Yorkshire Low Pay Charter Councils agreed to improve future decision by considering low pay/poverty like a protected characteristic and to give due regard to this in relation to employment policy and practice. The session will focus on why this can improve fairness and engagement – but also allow us to collectively look at solving live issues e.g.

1. a. Improving the skills, pay and job of agency workers

2. b. Pensionsand exit payments- fair deals low paid staff

3. c. Recruiting for inclusion -supporting priority groups to find work

4. d. Raising confidence to learn and overcoming a digital divide

5. e. Wellbeing at the frontline - designing and doing this better

HR staff And I&D leads are invited to attend this event – and we will share more details shorty

Thanks
