Four local businesses have been recognised by our Employer Charter initiative.
Anderson Caledonia, The Antibody Company and The Power Within Training & Development were awarded the silver accreditation and WH & R McCartney received the bronze award.
The charter is based around four commitments by employers: to pay all staff the Real Living Wage; employ North Lanarkshire residents; use local businesses in the supply chain where possible; and ensure fair work practices which attract and retain employees.
Businesses which achieve two or more of these commitments receive a bronze, silver or gold accreditation. Membership of the charter is free.
North Lanarkshire Provost Kenneth Duffy presented the companies with their awards, saying: “Congratulations to everyone involved on their achievements in operating responsible businesses that support their employees and make a positive commitment to North Lanarkshire and the local economy.
“Our Employer Charter offers clear benefits for both employers and employees and is designed to increase employment and training opportunities for residents and provide support to businesses.”
