What is the Greater Manchester Good Employment Charter?
The Charter was developed through a process of co-design, involving the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), all GM districts, Trade Unions and employers and employees from all sectors.
The Charter aims to improve employment standards across all GM employers regardless of size, sector or geography.
The GM Good Employment Charter has a tiered structure, made up of Supporters, Members and Advocates. Organisations can register their interest now in becoming a Supporter of the Charter. Later, Supporters will be able to become Members and Advocates.
By progressing up the tiers, organisations will be able to meet higher employment standards, learn from best practice, and improve productivity and service quality.
The Charter is a journey, rather than an assessment at a single point in time
