Brent’s Good Work Standard is part of the borough’s commitment to making Brent a better place to work and do business. The scheme has been designed to support employers to contribute to a fairer and more inclusive Brent.
Since August 2021, Brent Council has worked on developing a council led campaign to promote the principles of a Good Work Standard (GWS). Businesses in Brent will be encouraged to promote four key pillars that are important to businesses, organisations, and employers:
- London Living Wage
- workplace wellbeing
- skills and progression
- diversity and recruitment
The campaign is in collaboration with Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). FSB is the UK’s leading membership organisation for small businesses and the self-employed, campaigning on behalf of 5.5 million small business owners since 1974. FSB membership gives you access to market-leading business services and tools. It includes 24/7 legal and employment advice, on-demand legal documents and templates, tax investigation insurance, local support, networking and so much more.
How will Brent support my business?
We will offer you guidance on greater wellbeing in the workplace, greater opportunities to develop skills, progression paths, and encourage workplace inclusion and diversity.
We will also:
- support businesses on their journey toward becoming London Living Wage employers, becoming Disability Confident, and working towards the measures in the Good Work Standard
- support you in promoting better pay and the payment of London Living Wage (LLW)
- provide you with discounted FSB membership where you can access a wealth of resources and support designed for small businesses
