Staff Governance Standard
NHS Boards work within a Staff Governance Standard which is underpinned by statute. The Staff Governance Standard sets out what each NHS Scotland employer must achieve in order to continuously improve in relation to the fair and effective management of staff.
The Standard requires all NHS Boards to demonstrate that staff are:
-
Well informed;
-
Appropriately trained and developed;
-
Involved in decisions;
-
Treated fairly and consistently, with dignity and respect, in an environment where
-
Diversity is valued; and
-
Provided with a continuously improving and safe working environment, promoting the health and wellbeing of staff, patients and the wider community.
Delivering equal pay is integrally linked to the aims of the Staff Governance Standard.
