-
-
Mission: Kick start economic growth. To secure the highest sustained growth in the G7 - with good jobs and productivity growth in every part of the country making everyone, not just a few, better off.
Policy Outcome 1: Fair work: That offers fair wages and good working conditions. Help people get a job, stay in work, and progress in their careers, with good employment opportunities across the country. Notes: Where there is a large proportion of labour costs in the contract, commercial teams should consider MAC in Outcome 1 as a priority
-
New or retained jobs on the contract workforce in the relevant area that meet the criteria set out in MAC 1b, 1c and 1d
-
New apprenticeships on the contract workforce in the relevant area that meet the criteria set out in MAC 1b
-
Providing opportunities for, and measuring and monitoring of, staff workforce conditions over time, including employee engagement, involvement in decision-making and satisfaction and adapting to any changes in the results, with clear processes for acting on issues identified
-
Monitoring of employee engagement rates (by protected characteristic) and, where necessary, the development of actions to ensure all voices are heard across the diversity of the workforce
-
Employment contracts that reflect actual hours worked; steps taken to ensure employees understand their contracts and have the ability to review and adjust them if actual hours regularly exceed contracted hours
-
Activities that support an environment where staff are educated about and feel empowered to report and address bullying and harassment
-
Offer a pay and leave entitlement to all eligible staff who become kinship carers, ideally equivalent to statutory adoption pay and leave
-
Payment of more than the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage (as appropriate) to the contract workforce
-
Monitoring and reporting of gender and ethnicity pay gaps and plans to address them where necessary
-
Understanding of in-work progression issues affecting the market, industry or sector relevant to the contract, and in the supplier’s own organisation and those of its key sub-contractors
-
Measures to support in-work progression to help people in the contract workforce, to move into higher paid work by developing new skills relevant to the contract
-
Support for educational attainment relevant to the contract, including training schemes that address skills gaps and result in recognised qualifications
-
Volunteering opportunities for staff
-
Understanding of the modern slavery risks and issues affecting the market, industry, sector or country (of origin or of source) relevant to the contract, and the workforce in the supplier’s own organisation and those of its key subcontractors
-
How to ensure business decisions re: price/cost, short lead times, payment timescales do not create modern slavery risks in the supply chain
