Skillfluence Limited is committed to the Scottish Government’s Fair Work First policy. Our values, policies and initiatives underpin our commitment to ensuring our employees are engaged in what we do , and we work together to continue making Skillfluence a flexible, equitable and impactful place to work.  

Skillfluence Limited is an accredited Living Wage Employer.  

We believe this is good for business, good for workers, and good for society. We do not use or issue zero-hour contracts, and we have never had a fire-and-rehire process.   

We have no formal requirement to report on equal pay and gender pay audits, but we do review this as a mixed-gender management team with our HR Business Partner.    

Effective Voice   

Skillfluence Limited has practices in place to empower employees to have a meaningful voice in the workplace.  We encourage open and transparent discussion through these channels on topics such as workload and priorities relative to business objectives, sharing key business performance metrics, and requesting employee feedback before any business or policy changes. 

Our HR Business Partner is Gravitate HR, which supports Skillfluence Management and employees with advice and guidance on all company policies and best practices. 

Training, Development and Fulfilment  

We are a learning organisation. We promote fulfilment at work and a feeling of belonging through engaging all our employees in staff events and individual learning programmes. We have systems in place to tailor development opportunities to individual needs, ensuring everyone benefits equally. 

We are a small organisation with growth potential, so we look for opportunities to develop our employees to support them in their current and potential future roles.  

Recruitment  

We run a fair and transparent recruitment process, supported by our HR Business Partner, to ensure objectivity and a skills-based approach to hiring candidates through fair assessment.   

We actively seek opportunities to ensure hiring managers are embodying EDI principles throughout the design of the role, the advertising language, the recruitment process, and the feedback stages.   

Respect  

All employees are entitled to a working environment which is free from bullying, harassment, discrimination or victimisation. Staff are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity at work and have a personal responsibility to ensure they treat others as they would expect to be treated themselves.   

We take all allegations of such conduct very seriously, and any complaint of this nature would be dealt with in accordance with our disciplinary procedure. These messages are clear from induction onwards and are available for reference in the Employee Handbook. 

Flexibility 

We have a Flexible Working Policy that underpins our management practice towards being a flexible employer. It allows employees to present requests from day 1 (an enhancement from statutory minimums). We support time off in lieu (TOIL) where appropriate, as well as flexible work hours in alignment with business needs.
