Join the Salford City Mayor's Charter for Good Employment

The Salford City Mayor's Charter for Employment Standards is designed to help raise employment standards for employees and businesses across the city.

We hope that businesses and employers across Salford will support the our pledges, focused on:

• investing in Salford’s workforce

By working together, we will promote social inclusion, drive economic growth and raise living standards in our city.

The Charter is open to any private sector business, public sector organisation, voluntary or community organisation and social enterprise working in Salford.
