A new digital hub has been unveiled to help Scottish businesses offer secure and fulfilling jobs while promoting equal opportunities.
The platform will act as a one-stop shop for employers looking to embed fair work practices into their operations.
It highlights the clear advantages of adopting fair work principles and offers practical steps businesses can take.
Scotland already leads the United Kingdom in the number of businesses paying the real Living Wage.
The new hub forms part of wider Scottish Government efforts to make fair work the everyday norm.
Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes introduced the new resource while presenting the Fair Work Employer of the Year award at the British Business Awards in Edinburgh.
The prize was awarded to QTS Group, a South Lanarkshire-based railway contractor known for championing fair work.
Speaking at the event, Ms Forbes said Scotland is setting an example by promoting fair work practices across every sector.
She emphasised that fair work is not only a moral duty but also a sound business strategy.
Research shows that fair work creates sustainable jobs, builds stronger communities and fuels economic growth.
Ms Forbes described the new online hub as a single source of information and inspiration for employers.
Developed in partnership with businesses and experts, the resource provides real-world examples of fair work in action.
The Deputy First Minister confirmed that the hub will expand over the coming months with more case studies and practical advice.
She stressed that fair work is at the heart of the Scottish Government’s vision for a wealthier, fairer and more resilient society.
Ms Forbes underlined that economic growth and social fairness must move forward together in modern Scotland.
The digital hub showcases businesses already thriving through fair work practices, offering a blueprint for others to follow.
Employers will be able to access toolkits, case studies and support materials designed to make implementation straightforward.
The initiative is part of a broader national push to embed security, respect and opportunity into every workplace.
With this new resource, the Scottish Government aims to turn fair work from an aspiration into a national standard.
The hub’s launch is seen as a key milestone in building an economy that works for everyone in Scotland.
Employers of all sizes are being urged to visit the hub and take practical steps towards a fairer future.
The new resource embodies the Scottish Government’s belief that good jobs and economic success must go hand in hand.
