The aim of the workshop is to get you to think about the quality of jobs and work. Not all jobs are “good” jobs, and not all work provides respect for workers. The session will explore these issues, and begin to explore how workers and employers can create and sustain respect at work. It will focus on employment rights and legal literacy in all this – a factor often overlooked in personal and professional development.

This is a workshop, rather than just a talk, so the emphasis is on exploring together, and sharing ideas about what respect at work looks like and the role of employment rights. There will be activities designed to get you to think about what respect at work is, what it looks like in practice, and to help develop your legal literacy and advocacy skills.

The workshop will help you to reflect on your work experience so far, and on what you want in the future. It will begin to give you the tools to expand your understandings about whether a job is a “good” one or not, and what you as a worker, and as a manager or leader of the future, can do to help improve the quality of experiences at work for yourself and for others.
