Love Wimbledon Accredited as a Good Work Standard Employer

 

In partnership with CIPD, the Wimbledon based professional body for experts in people at work, the Mayor of London’s Good Work Standard was officially launched in summer 2019 – part of his commitment to making London the best city in the world to work. The Good Work Standard sets a benchmark for every London employer to work towards and achieve, so that they contribute to a fairer and more inclusive London economy.

Love Wimbledon are pleased to be the first official Good Work Standard employers in Wimbledon and the second Business Improvement District in London to receive such accreditation. We believe this is an important recognition of our commitment to our people. It also reflects the many ways in which we are striving for the best possible working conditions for our employees.

In order to achieve the Good Work Standard accreditation, employers must complete and demonstrate a number of requirements across the four pillars of this benchmark. This includes: fair pay and conditions, workplace wellbeing, skills and progression, diversity and recruitment.

By signing up to the Good Work Standard, employers signal that they are committed to healthy, fair and inclusive workplaces. We know this is an important step in attracting and retaining a diverse, talented and successful workforce and we hope to assist other businesses in realising these benefits.
