The West of England Good Employment Charter is a voluntary accreditation scheme that aims to improve employment standards in the West of England for organisations of all sizes and sectors, including the college, through characteristics that will raise the value and quality of work.
The Charter supports organisations to become ‘employers of choice’, so that they can achieve better productivity and growth, colleague retention, and recruit top talent.
